How do I fill my water tank from a water jug going through the Nautilus 3 panel? Can I put it in winterize mode and use the pump as a siphon to pull water from my water jug like I would anti-freeze? Do I need to carry a utility pump to push it into the regular hose location like I would with a city water refill?
thanks

Here is an image of the Nautilus system. To fill your tank from a bucket or jerry can you would connect a small hose to the city water connection and place in your can or bucket. Then turn the knobs as shown where it says SANITIZE and then turn on the pump and it will siphon the water from your can into the tank.

What I DID discover when I sat down to learn this procedure was that I had a swarm of wasps that had taken residence in the Aldi vent pipe. They shot out of that pipe like little rockets, fiercely pelting my face repeatedly. When I figured out what was happening, I stood up and ran. I tried to resist the temptation to swat at them--figuring that would only anger them more. I ran around the house and ended up with one sting in my ear. It hurt in such a sensitive spot, but I'm not allergic, so I just spent the rest of the afternoon with some ice on my ear.
Two days later I got back to it and was able to slurp up a water jug.

You could also transport a whole lot of olives, as they are more often used for.
