1. Yep, blew out the line first. Was wanting to keep from having pink ice cubes in the spring. What's with the bucket on a ladder? You could have a different arrangement than I do.


Thought process for putting the bucket on the ladder is it allow the pump to have to pull a little biit , then it is has some pressure helping it pull out the bucket, think siphoning

2. Turned the screen around inside the winterization connection. I just put a gallon jug of antifreeze in the convenience center and connected a clear plastic line to the winterizing fitting and the other end down into the full gallon of antifreeze. Then turned on the water pump which did not run very long once the system pressurized. Had the valve in the base cabinet open. Only a trickle of pink from the valve. Why not a flow?

Did you make sure you had flow to other faucets?
