sap lifting

[keill4]

what is my best option for lifting 550 taps up about 18 feet to travel 1000 feet to sugar house

Do you have vacuum at the woods where the 550 taps are? If you do you might consider a Lapierre vacuum operated transfer pump, it would easily push sap up 18 feet and then 1000 ft to the shack.

We had releaser & vac pump in woods. we had a pumpout tank that ran off a generator. We are trying to move everyrhing to the sugar house and eliminating the generator. We have 1300 feet of pump out line that we are trying to figure out how to utilize in bringing sap to sugar house. Our problem is we need to lift sap a minimum of 14 feet as we have a @ hill to go over. We are also on a budget of $1000.
