Electric Releaser Question

[MapleCreekFarm]

I have 1600’ of buried pump and vac line. Transition is no problem. Just has to be in a heated enclosure. Line is at least 5’ down. 7’ where I drive over in winter. Line has not froze in the 20 years I have used it.

Mine is only 3 to 4' down, but I'm in NE Ohio not VT. The transition doesn't have to be in a heated enclosure, but that's by far the best. I took a 3' section of plastic culvert pipe and made an insulated cover for it and put it where the pipe comes out of the ground. It's worked fairly well but I did have some times when the sap lines let loose before the 15' sections above ground were thawed enough to pump much thru. I suspect that is why my pump got weak at the end of the season.

Now that I have read some replies and though it through, I only want to pump into my tank and use my existing pump and system to transfer. I am considering doing the conversion to electric myself. I have an older Bernard(built 2001) model 215 single horizontal rated 6000 taps. Any advice on what pump and any details of the conversion?

That is the pump I use. Not big enough for you but this series pump is slow start and has low water and overheat protection built in. When running and even on start up it draws no more than 4 amps. Very important on my long buried line. Would think it would be good on a generator. Rated 10 gpm. Pumps 7 at my distance and under 28” vac. Checked with water and flow meter to make sure before I buried the wire. Not sure if this would be big enough for you: https://supremewatersales.com/22sq10-190-96160157.html

I added a 4” pump chamber under my releaser and wired up relays and float switches to run the pump
