I tend to average about 15" of vac but when I have leaks it drops to 5" pretty quickly. Mostly from squirrels. But as the doc says every inch of vac is better than non eat all
    I have 130 taps on 1" main with 20 5/16" laterals and pulled 15" all season with some days at the tail end of my season at 17-19". I thought my guzzler was under performing but perhaps not.

    Any expansion of my existing bush or new bush will be 3/16 with a shurflo. I'll go with high vac if I have power at the site. Some producers around me have shown good flow on the 3/16. I'm sold. One question is a 3/4" mainline ok for 3/16" if I run 15-20 tap laterals?
