I was using a 4048 surflo to try yo pump um the hill. I was also using a Mountain Maple controller with a timer to start the pump. I really don't know why it didn't pump up the hill as I had done...
I am looking for air operated.
I am looking at diaphragm pumps for a 10" D&G filter press. What are some of the brand names of pumps you folks are using. I will probably be doing between 500 and 700 gallons of syrup. Thanks
I am having plenty of people ask for maple candy but we don't have a machine to make it. What we do have is a gear driven maple cream machine. So the question, is it possible to use the cream...
What model shurflo? I think the issue I had was that I also had a guzzler on it also. I don't know what the amount of amps that the solar panel put out. I think you may be on to something with...
I guess I could have posted this in a couple of spots, but I hope I can explain what I need some help with. I have about 190 taps in a woods that has no power available, it is 20 feet below the road...
Great idea. CDL will probably come out with this next year lol
The only reason I did the 1.5" was there is going to be another 1000 to 1500 taps in another area, otherwise I would have 1.25" over 1". I found the 1.5" is harder to work with but it should be the...
Here is what I have done so far. The conductor line starting at the highest elevation I did 1" over 1" for about 150 feet then went 1.25 over 1.25 for another 250 feet and then we 1.5 over 1.25...
The moisture trap takes care of what the moisture trap is for, moisture trap will let the vapor accumulate and can be drained. There will be no debris that will make it through to the pump.
This site is very helpful with the pulley sizing. https://www.blocklayer.com/pulley-belteng.aspx
As far as the speed here is a tachometer that works to get the speed of the engine correct...
Here is the way I would set it up. This is just as you describe.21708
Okay thanks for all the replies here, vey helpful for sure. The idea of going from 1.25" to 1" half way through on the conductor line is the way to go and the same for the dry line. I may use some...
Well it looks like you guys are right on the sizing. The CFM at 1000 feet jumps from 8 in the 1" to 13 in the 1.25 ". That being said would you make all the wet line even the laterals off the main...
It looks like it would be closer to 1500 taps not 3000. If it would do 800 on one, then I could use 2 of them as long as I can pump to a tank with them. What are you using for powering it, gas or...
I just walked part of the woods. Most of the taps are going to be closer to the lowest point. I think what makes sense now is to go with 1" mains and 1 1/4" dry line just to carry more cfm to the...
I am setting up a woods that has about 2% slope and will have approximately 1500 taps. I have actually 2 questions. The first is, is a dry line necessary if I over size the main lines? If I use 1...
Are these pumps able to do vacuum on mainlines? It looks like yes, but not sure based on a couple of responses. I have a remote woods that I am going to setup with about 3000 taps. If I could use...
I agree that the S3 is great system. I am running 12v on my systems and have a couple of issues unrelated to the controller. The adjust ability of the system helped me through the year. I am...
Great read DR. Tim. I had no idea that it would make that much difference. I figured something was up when I put knew drops and taps in the woods last year and it din't produce what I had expected....
I was tapping a woods yesterday and occurred to me that there may be a consequence to driving taps to far into the tree. I drill approximately 1.5 to 2" and the use a rubber faced hammer to...
Here is a place you can get the parts for the housing https://www.wateranywhere.com/membrane-housings/
I get it know and do understand what you are saying about plumbing it now. I have a suspicion that the previous owner moved plumbing around for what ever reason, so I will have to re do it. Thanks...
Just to be clear the post is stainless steel https://www.wateranywhere.com/4-x-40-ss-end-clamp-membrane-housing-with-3-4-1-2-ports/ and I am using brand new membranes from MES.
