    Best to check first and make sure that the threaded end is compatible with the Nautilus system.

    I happen to know someone that did that. As Wileykid said, it's not much water (maybe a cup or less). The force is what will get you, especially if your face is in there trying to look.
    It was quite a surprise, so I've heard.

    So, a question for the experts out there.

    Am in the process of winterizing and following the Nautilus instructions. Have the settings for "winterize." The pump is pulling the anti-freeze and the toilet and shower all run pink when the valves are open. Both hot and cold run pink in the shower. Also, the washer hot and cold run pink in the closet.

    I go to open the bathroom sink hot and cold faucet - nothing. Same thing for the kitchen sink. Nothing. There is no air pressure sound, drips or anything.

    I don't believe any of the lines are ruptured anywhere cause it seems to me that the pump would run non stop if there was a break in the line.

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Found out my issue. The aerator in both faucets was clogged with sediment. Easy fix. Something to be aware of if there is no water or limited flow out of the faucets.Click image for larger version.

    That's a lot of crud in those aerators! Are you not using a filter on your water supply line? If you are using a filter right at the campground water source and still get this amount of crud then I would be cleaning or replacing the water hose!

    I did the same thing, except I couldn't get the antifreeze to pump in. I am standing wonder why, then if hits me I had to open up al int to let the air pressure out.

    Opening the low point drains releases the pressure in the system. I do this every time I start to winterize & when breaking camp to switch over to tank water.
    Also when winterizing I turn the screen around on the fill port before pumping antifreeze...just remember to turn the screen back to its regular position.

    I use a filter at the water source and change it out twice a year. We just returned from a 2.5 month trip and stayed in 30 campgrounds so that may have something to do with it also. And my guess is when I put air to the lines to winterize, it blew the sediment to the aerators and jammed them up. Lesson learned - will check the aerators more often.

    This same thing happened to me in winterizing my 5th Wheel. But, please tell me, where is the Water Check Valve located?

    Directly behind the inlet water screen. Be sure to relieve all pressure from the system before you press the check valve.
