Pretty busy and won't get around to removing all of my taps this weekend. Is that OK or is there any reason I should try to get them out as soon as possible?

The sooner the better so the tree can start to heal.
Probably easier to clean if you get them out sooner but the big guys take several weeks to get everything cleaned.
Thanks. I'll try to pull some of them tonight, not sure if I can get to all of them though.
...so do the little guys LOLQuote:

When the season ends the three most important tasks are to get the RO membrane washed and removed, get the sap in the evaporator finished and pull the taps. All of the other cleaning will be done after that.
Darn Beavers have been causing men trouble forever!! :)
Your supposed to remove the debris from the culvert late in the day and then blast them when they come to repair the dam near sunset.Quote:
