3/16 on Shurflo Question
Hey all,
Working on finalizing my plans for 2018 setup. I will have a hybrid system with 120-150 taps on 3/16 with good drop and natural vacuum plus Shurflo to assist trees at the bottom of the hill/run. They will all converge into main line at the bottom of the run.
My questions is where to place the Shurflo pump. I could have power at both the 3/16 convergence location and tank location. From a sap sucker vacuum perspective will the setup function better if there is a manifold and Shurflo at the convergence point or at the end of the main line?
Thanks,
Jacob
