I bought a honda pump for moving sap from tank to tank. Is the collapsible pump hose sold at home depot safe to use with sap? If not what should I look for?
transfer pump what type of hose?

Years sugaring with Grandpa on a turkey fryer
2013 50 taps on steam table pans outside
2014 125+ taps on half pint 12x8 sugar shack
2015 2x6 Sunrise metals JDL drop Flue 300 taps
2016 Bought my first house. New area, less time, 125 taps
2017 More time and getting closer to 300 taps again
Just one guys opinion here, most transfer pumps say do not use collapsible hose on your intake to the pump. And the hose should probably be labeled for use in the food industry, or any written specs found would/should say so. Just as an example, Lowes (don't know about Home Depot) has clear poly braid hose, food safe, for 2.29 a foot for one inch inner diameter.
take care, Mark
Great stuff and great company. Been using same hose for 13 years. They ship same day or next day.
