It is an ARCO 3hp liquid ring pump made in Canada. 35 cfm. This isnt a typical brand used in the maple industry so I was curious if this had features that would not be suitable for maple, like what is a "monoblock?" It is much less expensive than the brands used in the maple industry, and not made in China, which is a plus.

its a typical liquid ring pump. search for rebuild parts if you can find them use it. monoblock is a single stage used with most in maple single in and out. most that are changing or replacing have gone to vane pumps as they are much cheaper to run and no maintenance.

Are you using an Arco pump?

No went another direction.
