Glad I could help, stumbled on it, really.

Running gravity this season, but next season we’ll upgrade to vacuum.
I’ve been trying to get an idea on what pump folks are using for applications under 1000 taps, preferably under 500 taps, and when I punched yours in for specs, Grainger was the first thing that popped up. Two birds-one stone.

What do you think of that pump?
How well does it handle your bush?

I got off the phone with Grainger a little while ago and the price quote and availabilty may have been over stated by there weekend sales rep:mad: I asked for a price list on parts and lead time. so, the sales rep ordered the parts. I was checking on prices for several different parts that I may need in the future. The bill was almost $400 I explained the sittuation and ordered the parts I needed only to have them say I was Quoted a price on parts they no longer carry and she would Try to match the price and try and get my parts:( she said she would get to work on it right away and would email me latter today.

I don't know about the pump yet. This will be my first attempt at vac. I was told 1 CFM per 100 taps was what to look for. so this pump popped up on ebay for $100 so I thought I would give it a try. I am told it will handle my bush with no problem
