How does your 12Volt Vacuum Pump Perform?
I've been battling with how to improve my vacuum level in my remote bush..... Eg... Go with a gas powered vane pump or stick with 12 volt diaphragm pumps, etc...
I think I've decided to stick with a 12 volt system if I can achieve about 20-25inhg.... (thinking about converting a portable generator to propane and auto start, to charge batteries up when they need it)
I hear some good things about some different shurflow models... but I'd like to learn about all the options, from your experience....
I will greatly appreciate your time in responding... (as I'm sure others in the same boat, will as well)
Thanks in advance
I would really like to know what you have for a setup and how it performs...
1. What Specific Pump you are using
2. Number of taps
3. If you have a recirc line to pump
4. Typical vacuum level you can maintain
I'll Start it off....
I currently use a cheap amazon single diaphragm pump..

125 taps
I do use a recirc line, but difficult to set it for varying sap flows
Able to achieve about 12-15 inhg put it pulsates a fair bit.
I have an identical setup on 75 taps and it performs about the same.
Thanks again
