Guys, trying to get my winterizing done. I'm hooked up to the strainer with a hose into a bucket of antifreeze, but when I start the motor the pump is not pulling the antifreeze. I'm FWC, so I'm only trying to protect the raw water side. Should that pump be sucking antifreeze immediately? Or is there a thermostat somewhere that waits for the temp to rise before it starts pulling into the raw water side/heat exchanger? I was expecting it to immediately start pulling antifreeze and when that didn't happen, I shut her down. I'm afraid to damage the pump. But maybe it just needed to run longer?
