I had a float put on my rear pan last year for sap and would like to put a float on the front pan for syrup. My drawoff area is half the size of my rear float pan. The float would have to be about 3 inchs long and 2 1/2 inchs wide. Do they make them around that size or would you have to enlarge the drawoff box? Hope this is the right description.
Thanks

My pans are level and I regulate the depth with a hand valve. Gets a little hairy when your by yourself.

Al,

Do you have a dropped flue or raised flue?? With the new float box, if you evaporator is a drop flue, the one float should control the entire evaporoator. :?
