I cut a few maples down the sap was poring out. I had large mix of taps in this year. My flow had really slowed down so I pulled the taps and really took a hard look at which ones had totally dried up. my 5/16 with 17 inches vacuum on sap sucker
I saw no difference from check valves to strait stubby. The clear ones of both had the highest % still running. Many of black one had stopped

3/16 with 3 year old tap were still running a week after I stopped. sap on 3/16 was also clearer

How did you do this season? Was it a good one, a poor one or average?

was working 6 to 7 days a week in the start so did not keep track. I all so did not due 30 tap that needed new tubing. I think was close to average. I stopped the end of March as main tank went to cloudy and flow all but stopped Retried April 1 so next year will be easier
