5/16 system on a 60gph diaphragm pump
Here’s a thought…I have another section of woods that would be ideal for a 5/16 setup with maybe 100 taps, kind of a ravine with maples on either slope.
If I ran a 1/2” or 3/4” mainline would a 60gpd pump give me the vacuum to effectively run such a setup? I could maintain a decent slope the entire length of the mainline to the bottom of our property.
I ask because happen to have an extra pump.
