Fresh water system gate valve location on solitude 369rl

[jnachstein]

Having difficulty sanitizing the fresh water tank. Followed instructions in manual, and the pump is running but not siphoning water from the exterior container to the fresh water tank. The one thing I may be missing, is in the instructions it says to open the fresh water system gate valve.
Thanks

I have a Momentum, but i imagine its the same. The FW gate valve is the tank drain, you wouldnt be able to fill the tank and sanitize it with that valve open; its on the bottom of tank and should have a white handle.

When i sanitize mine, i leave the pedestal hose hooked up and make sure the line is filled, then change valves to sanitize position. I then disconnect the hose at the pedestal end and use a funnel and pour bleach in it as my wife operates the pump as needed. This method ensures the line is primed, that could be the problem. Also, are you running the pump from inside or the manual switch near your valves? It should be the switch by the valves.

Thank you for your reply. I originally thought the fresh water gate valve was the drain, which I have in the closed position. The owners manual says to open the fresh water gate valve, which led me to believe that perhaps there was another valve that I hadn't located. There is no pump switch outside near the valves. I tried leaving the pedestal hose hooked up at the same time, also with no results

That seems strange there is no other water pump switch, there should be some way to manually operate it for sanitizing/winterizing. I could be wrong, im going off of the setup i have, maybe some other Solitude owners can give some input.

My 2016 321RL has a pump switch inside at the panel and another outside in the wet bay.

Thanks for your reply. There are only two electrical switches in the wet bay. One controls the light in the bay, the other controls the lights under the bedroom slide. The pump runs, it just won't siphon liquid from a exterior source like a bucket. I'm wondering if the valve is malfunctioning.
