Seeing a post earlier makes me want to see more video of our Shurflo pumps in action. You-Tube doesn't really have any either.

What I hope to see is flow at the end and know how many taps are on the line. DonMc, last year had a gravity video and it was great to see the flow into his collection barrels.

I will post my set-up once sap runs here up North, not sure when that will be. I hope, just hope to have about 40-45 taps on my Shurflo line.

Hope to see some video.

Thanks.

Terry

Here's one that I did at the end of last year:

There are approximately 75 taps in this setup.

How do you have those 4 lines connected by the pump?

Hey Dave:

Thanks for that video.

I have seen it at least a dozen times at You-Tube, lol.

The flow out the back end, (output), Is that always the same or does it increase and decrease at times ?

There are not many videos of Shurflo pumps in action regarding sap collection.

Thanks for sharing.

I have a 1/2" star fitting connected to a threaded elbow. The lines connect to that.

The flow will change depending on how the sap is running. I've seen it gurgle out and I've also seen it be almost a steady stream. It's at another land owners place so I'm not always there and I happen to be there picking up sap when it was flowing decently so I decided to shoot the video...mainly because I hadn't seen one and I wanted to share.
