I have 1200 to 1500 taps and was woundering if any one had ever tried a sap puller on a wet dry set up? Any thoughts would help thanks.

4x14 leader inferno, steamaway
D&G 600 gal RO
D&G 7"filter press
1021 on vac coming the sugarhouse
3 new vac houses
1600 taps with a 3hp tuthill & a 6000 gills benard releaser
800 taps with a 200e sap puller
275 taps with a 100e sap puller
Room to grow in all 3 of those bushes
2013 the 800 is now 1200
just curious but what do you get for vacuum on your sap pullers? the best i can achieve is 15". I have a 200 E. Sounds like 1200-1500 taps will be a bit much for that little pump. If there are going to be that many taps you would do better with another big 3 hp vacuum pump that you can get 26" or better. Thats my opinion though

I could get 18 or 19 on that one. On a smaller bush with 275 taps i had the 100e and that did great i pulled 4425 gall out of their it was crazzy but i set the bush up it was all new pipe so their were no leaks. The other one with 800 taps i got s only 4275 but i took that one over and didnt set it up, and you are right i need a 3 hp. Thank
