Sucking sap uphill

To Answer your question a guzzler pump will do what you want to do. You should have more than enough vacuum, I have 500 taps on A 12vt Guzzler 500 , with 1000' of 1" mainline, 500 is too many Taps but it works good as long as I can stay on top of leaks I have 24" of vacuum.

Windy Acres, that's a very clean looking installation. I've not seen one with a manifold like that, impressive. Nice job!

[Windy Acres]

Thank you! I got the idea from a good friend, so I cant take the credit for the idea lol

[johnallin]

You’re very welcome. Regardless where the idea came from - you did a great job.

The beginning of our first run, and we couldn't be happier with this little guy! It is pulling everything right to the sugar house and saving us 5 stops to gather, while keeping 27 inches of vacuum on the lines

May I ask what is being used to connect the pvc to the base of your pump? I first used a guzzler with the 3/4 female threaded inlet and out let until I blew it up with ice. I had a 911 and ordered a new base that came with out threaded inlet and outlet. I went with the larger base 1-1/4 inlet and outlet with out threaded ends. Marc

i ordered ours with the 1 1/4 threaded base, so i just used a maleXslip adapter and used unions so i can pull it apart easily if need be

Thank you for your input.
