Dr. Tim how is it working so far compared to conventional releaser?
I guess I'll chime in here.....I had the opportunity to convert over from mechanical to electric on one of my woods and went with the hydra. All I can say is that it works like a charm! Sap goes in, sap goes out. Incredibly carefree, and hasn't skipped a beat. Dean was responsive to any questions I had and always answered his phone. .......The only negative was that there was apparently a hiccup with a run of sensing rods, but even then, Dean was ahead of it before my sap even ran, and had a new one in my hands before sap flow started. I cant think of a better experience I've had with a releaser!......and I'd post a video, but its pretty boring- The sap stays at the same level all the time, and just keeps chugging thru the outlet pipe as its supposed to........ Dr Tim?

Wdchuck, what was the cost? And what type of amperage is required to run the unit. They do seem very slick and trouble free
18x30 sugarshack
5100 taps high vac
3x10 inferno with steampan
7'' wes fab filter press
10'' cdl air filter press
D&G 3 post reverse osmosis w/recirculation
Without looking at the checkbook, I think it was 2700. The amperage is the same as a deep well pump, but with none of that slamming on and off all day, so no big draw on amps at startup.
