I've never cleaned mid season. I had three of them before I went "big" I stopped using strainer after the first year. I still didn't have any issues after that. I still run this setup https://youtu.be/MFBYqZFnRYg

Remember to keep on ticking while the sap is dripping.
2016- 50 buckets. Made 4 gallons.
2022- 3750 taps + Smartrek! Made 1300 gallons.
2023- 3750 taps after removing a pump house and connected two woods. Made 800 gallons.
I like your setup there. I think I am going to build one on a manifold,as I don't have a mainline. I have a series of 5/16 lines that run downhill but the vac will be nice. I will run the discharge 220' to my shack, Iran uphill push but the 4008 should push it no problem. The question is is can I use 5/16 on the out side? I have about 30 taps run in 5/16 4-5 taps per line.Originally Posted by Ultimatetreehugger
The outlet side of the pump is 1/2". Reducing it to 5/16 might put additional strain on your pump, especially during high flow times.
