Quick question

I just purchased triton 3551 toyhauler and my question is the hose coming from water pump to use when winterizing has a valve on it and I was wondering if valve should be closed before using pump during season.

Yes, if it is the one that is on the anti-freeze pickup hose.

Thank you . Just to clarify this valve is on a tee. One hose comes from fresh water tank, one goes to pump and one is 12 inches long and is connected to nothing.

You want the unconnected hose to be closed off when you are using the water system. It is only to pull anti-freeze into the system when you are winterizing.
