Well, we did manage to winterize but will be replacing the pump this spring. We experimented with city water connecting and it bypassed fine. Long story short, we have a sticky switching valve in the pump. At 6 years old replacing it seems the wisest course. Thanks for all the help.

For those suggesting 2 gallon amts of antifreeze and vacuum suction at the pump...our pump is not equipped with that bonus. It is on my upgrade list though. That’s why the manufacturer has ‘fill potable water tank with 5-6 gallons of antifreeze’ instructions. It’s set up for that method or air compressor blowout only.

At least we got it done. It’s going to be 23 degrees and snow flurries tonight!
