    Ok. Sounds like a reservoir tank would help. I have 1600’ of 1 1/4 line running from pump to my releaser. I did not see that much drop but would drop several inches after dump. I had a spare 80 gallon compressor tank I added near the releaser. Now with gauge on pump side of releaser hardly moves. But if you can do electric releaser go for it.

    I’ve got an accumulator tank I could use. Thought about it this year. But decided not to lug it down to the bush.
    Does it just go inline between the pump and releaser ? No check valves needed? Other then the one at the pump ?

    That’s how mine is. No check valve at tank. Only at pump

    A moisture trap should help - it will give you a "volume" of vacuum between the pump and the releaser. Oversizing your vacuum line to 3" pipe from the pump to the moisture trap and then to the releaser would also help.
