Hi All, I'm looking for a food grade 110v electric transfer pump for transferring sap from a 65 gallon gathering tank to a 275 gallon tote. The head is about 8-10 feet. Curious what people are using.
thanks Pat

I've been in the market for one as well. If anyone has a link to a quality setup that would be perfect. I have searched for a while and have found a few but have been unwilling to pull the trigger because I'm not sure it's the right type.

and have to suck you of the gathering tank on the back of the 4 wheeler.

Jim Brown, I am looking into buying the Wayne pump I need it to lift my sap up 10 feet to my holding tank. Do you think this would work for me? Thank you in advance for your help. Lee

I bought a red lion pump from tractor supply. It was $200. It pumps 60 something gallons per minute. Its a little cheaply made, I snapped the air filter off when it was really cold out by bumping it on a truck tailgate. But for $200 what do you expect.
