What are you trying to do with the water? Move to away to dump it, move it to a storage tank, or pressurize it for cleaning? Each one could require a different type of pump.
First introduced to making maple syrup in 1969
Making syrup every year since 1979
3 x 10 oil fired
Revolution syrup and max flue pan
Almost 1300 taps total with 900 on high vacuum
Bought first Marcland drawoff in 1997, still going strong.
I use a grundfos pump,meant for outdoor furnaces. I have quick connects on it so I can keep it at home where it will not freeze until I need it. I pump the hot distillate from the tank either into the steam away or the holding tank for the evaporator,depending on what I want to clean
