I am venturing into vacuum this season. I received information from MES who seem excellent to work with - very helpful.
They indicate that their setup uses a solenoid valve instead of moisture trap which is a more cost effective way to go and reliable. Anyone using this setup on the 25 or 40 sized pump? Results?
I am also seeking to utilize an electric extractor on up to 1200 taps. I have 280 feet from vacuum pump down to releaser and want to pump the sap back up to tank at vac pump from releaser. My land has little elevation change, so my 1" mainline is 24-27" high off ground at releaser in order to keep slope on mainline of 1-2%.
What releasers are out there and what brand/model has been successful for you in similar applications please? Any insights would be most helpful.
