Hey Mark, Russ has it right. I'm hoping this GW well can supply enough cold water for the pump. I don't need much cold water, and I'm not sure how much the vac. pump is going to warm the water and the ground around it. We'll see. You're going to love boiling concentrate. Way better than the raw stuff.

Russ/Brad, I've been reading your threads biding my time starting mine. I am getting bored though waiting for the season to start. I went out last weekend in my snowshoes and broke some trails. Even with all the snow we've gotten, I think the snowpack's only 2.5-3' deep. There are tree wells forming in the woods trees, so that's' a good sign. I thought we would be making syrup next week, but it's not looking so good anymore.
