I use shurflo pump for transfering sap as well. It is the 4gpm pump. My setup is a permanent one from my main sap tank in my sap shack through a 3/4" permanent pump line to my head tank at the sugar kitchen 400' away with 20' rise. With this system I get 3gpm pump rate. Yes that is slow but the nice thing about a shurflo is they can run dry without damage so I just turn it on and let it run for and when I have time later in the day I turn it off. I used a 3/4" line because it is permanent and pitched so it drains completely to reducing a frozen pump line. The larger line gives me more room for error if I have a low spot in the pitch.
