Help with Winterzing
It's time to put the camper away for the season, so we bought the pink stuff and got ready to winterize. Hubby has done this without issue the last 3 seasons and this time it didn't go so well.
We have a Northtrail 24RBS with a Shurflo classic pump. All lines were drained (hubby chose not to blow out the lines this year), set the hose from the pump into the pink stuff jug, turned on the pump, flipped the switches on the pump itself, then turned on the closest faucet cold side. Sputter, spittle and finally pink stuff started coming through, closed the cold valve, opened the hot and same thing for all faucets. By the time he got to the outside shower, nothing was happening. The pump appears to be running, but not sucking up pink stuff.
He's checked his process, took apart a couple of fittings on the water pump and didn't find anything blocking or plugging filters/lines. We had the camper out the weekend before and everything worked well.
He is absolutely perplexed and wondering if it's time to replace the pump. If this is the next step - which pump do we go with now? Any advice is appreciated. I've been doing my part in researching what may be the issue and haven't come across anything concrete yet.
