Hello fellow traders,
Looking to setup a wet/dry line on 600 taps gonna use 1" for both and i will have a booster due to running 1500' from the road to back of property.Also where do i install vac booster at 500' or at 1000' from the vac pump and releaser? I tap the property for trade off with syrup wont take any money from me and my question is the dry line hook to the back of my releaser also or does it y from the vac pump? Never setup wet/dry up before seen it in others sugar bushes.One last thing do i have to run that all the way or just to the booster then my main lines from there out? thanks in advance cpmaple

Hook the dry line directly into the releaser manifold. I wouldn't worry about a "booster". All it amounts to is an enlarged portion of your line and might serve to balance for vacuum fluctuations. The dry line itself should do that. Look at some of Jason Grossman's pics. He does a nice job of setting up a simple efficient wet dry system.
