Those pumps are reasonable. Never would've guessed that.
Very reasonable. There's even some cheaper ones that guys are using. I use the 2088 I think. Could be 2008. They regularly pull 20+" of vacuum. Gotta run a simple filter in front of them and hook all your sap lines into a manifold of some sort. I use 1" sap mainline and star fittings with a couple saddle fittings. It's all very cheap stuff. The DC pumps are said to last much longer, so i run an extension cord to a battery charger and clamp the leads on the pump to the terminals of a junk battery with the alligator clamps on the charger.
