Low vacuum with Shurflo

[Urban Sugarmaker]

Mine is on a thermostat that turns off at -1.5C. No heaters or lamps. Works great.

I tried hooking up same kind of thing. I have 195 taps on 3/4” and a pick up line out of the tank. I conk get it to pull sap out of tank. I’m going to reduce the 3/4” main to a 1/2” valve to see if I can get suction out of tank first to keep the pump primed and then open the valve. See what happens. I will post back here if it works.

I have a 1 inch main reduced to 1/2 about 8 feet before the pump. Close to the pump I have a T. The t is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2. On one side of the T I reduced to 3/8 so I could use 5/16 tubing for my recirc line.
