So I got the evaporator. I have the trees, around 3000. Some experience tubing in clusters to 18L water bottles. Should I go cheap with the shurflow or guzzler ect. Or spent the extra $$ on vacuum /releaser? Now for the next few seasons I only plan on tapping around 300 to 400 trees, but will likely get up to a 1000+ eventually. There is a Dominion Grimm outlet very close by so I'll most likely buy from them unless you guys convince me that they have horrible products. Thanks for any input.

300 is too many for a single Shurflo. It might work if you're doing 3/16 on good slope into a short mainline and then into the Shurflo. You could run 150 each on two Shurflos running 5/16.

Honestly, if 1000 taps is only a few years away, I'd buy the pink and releaser that you'll need effectually anyway right from the get go. It's a better system, and the price will probably only go up.
