Vaccum pump size....... Help!
Hi all so I was wondering how big of pump it would take to pull roughly 500 taps about 2500 feet from my sugarhouse. I am kinda new to vaccum pumps and lines and all the equipment that goes with it so bear with me! This year we did around 250 taps with buckets and would like to see what it would cost to upgrade to a vac system. I also want to make sure we have capacity for 500 taps since this woods is a booming maple woods(lots of young 6 and 4 inch trees) Thanks!
2021 250 taps with a Leader 2x6 evaporator!
2020 185 taps
2019 200 taps
2018 200 taps
2017 100 taps......
