We recently purchased a 2020 Reflection 297RSTS and I winterized it last week for the first time. I followed the manual for winterizing and used air to blow out the lines. While doing this there was minimal air coming out of the individual faucets and other water valves. Reading other postings on winterizing, I see it was recommended to set the Nautilus valves based on "City Water" versus "Powerfill" and the Blue, Red, Green and White valves at 45 degrees outlined in the manual. I will use the "City Water" followed by the "Powerfill" setting to clear the Nautilus panel valves next year.
Another issue I had when I added antifreeze to the system, per the manual. When I turned on the pump and began to pull antifreeze into the system, the toliet began to fill up with antifreeze without me pressing the toliet petal. I turn off the pump and then turned it back on, and the toliet was okay and only let antifreeze in when I prerssed the petal. However, then it filled up again a little after turning the pump off and back on. I am thinking I may have damaged the toliet valve when I used air to blow out the system. When I first connected my air line to the "City Water" my compressor was set around 60 PSI, but I quickly droped it to 35 PSI. I won't know until spring if the toliet valve is actually damaged.
Please let me know if anyone else has seen this issue.
Thank you.
