well mine are all on tubing most of which stays up year round, just a few sections across trails, pump lines over neighbors land etc that come down during the off season. Now that being said my taps are in yes, but once they are running the mainlines should be walked to find leaks and fix them. Usualy in the first week is when the most leaks are found but at times others will show up later. On bare ground or minimal snow I can do 4 or 5 hundred a day comftorably, could push for more but im no athlete either! With this snow its about half that on snowshoes. But it all gets done, got a hundred more in today and spent the rest of the day walking lines fixing leaks so the vac level is up pretty good now.
