    Natural vacuum or mechanical? What kind of flow days were you experiencing when sap was suspended? Did you have any vacuum gauges setup on the top of the line?

    I run a shurflo 4088. Ran it all season only shutting down when it would freeze. Run a recirculating line to keep the diaphragm wet and it will pull all season long.
