Hello Friends,
Getting our GMC out of moth balls involves draining out the red stuff (waterline anti freeze). The water tank was filled 3/4 with water. Pump was turned on and allowed to run ... kitchen faucet was opened and a sputter of red stuff and foam. Not impressive. Bathroom faucets were opened with similar results - then they stopped. The toilet, however, is happily flushing fine.
There is not evidence of a leak ... even after things were turned on for 15 minutes, pump went off, no water dripping from a weird place on the coach. BTW, the pump did come on after continually flushing and using the attached water sprayer. Good stream of reddish water there . . .
Any suggestions?
Thank you
John

I've had the strainers or aerators plug at the faucet outlets.

John,
Like Bob, I have to clean the aerators regularly. The pot is the only thing that does not have one.
