Thanks Maple Flats! I didn't hear of anybody else doing that before either but never hurts to ask before I String up a thousand feet of Mainline LOL
The question is what are you guys doing for ice traps in your mainline's? I'm going to set up my first Mainline ever! Its on a 2% grade and 3/4"rapi-tube Mainline that will be mostly gravity-fed...
Glad you guy's mentioned that about the main wire because I was going to do it in one stretch LOL. definitely makes sense doing it in sections for future tree damage and faster repairs!!!
Thanks for the info on the strainers bmbmkr... all good info! Keep it coming guys and thanks for the reply's!

Just did 3/16 gravity this year and what a difference! Have about 75 Taps on 3/16 and 110 buckets. On average I get about a hundred and twenty five gallon on the gravity lines and about 75 gallons on...
Pays to know and cost to learn as I always say
Done the exact same thing LOL, talk about putting everything to a Holt!
Absolutely love mine! Although I did find out when you calibrate the dial with ice water try to make sure the ice water is at 35 degrees or I can throw your reading off a tad bit
Tapped yesterday, Same Day last year and didn't regret... Mackinaw City
