With a hard freeze coming tomorrow I had gotten the "Pink Stuff" at Walmart and was ready to go - went through all the prep and put the UDC hose in the bottle and no go, I could hear the pump running but the bottle stayed full. Not a happy camper.
I proceeded to clean the plumping with air but the big problem was the Splendide Combo. I had decided that I would replace the pump the next week and thought about leaving the heat on in the Bighorn so the washer wouldn't freeze. I took down the storage compartment wall to mark down the model number and as I checked the tubing I found that the winterizing fill hose was kinked, guess that was the problem because everything worked after I straightened it out. I am going to have to make a check to the set up because the pipe will continue to kink. The soft reinforced hosing is not made to be pulled in and out, it just doesn't work long term.
