Thank you so much for the video I definitely will be making this!

Awesome to hear thanks for watching and commenting!

This is a great idea for a small system. How much vacuum could you get on the system? Did you ever have a problem with the barrel sucking in?

[@NorleyFamilyFarms]

Thanks! I only put the pump up to 10psi and had no problems with the barrel sucking in. 10psi worked fine for the small sugar bush we had. If you are going to do more than 10psi I would use a metal barrel to avoid sucking in.

@NorleyFamilyFarms oh that's cool. I didn't know you could set the psi on those. Just out of curiosity, what made you go with this system over something like a sureflo?

[@NorleyFamilyFarms]

@@natesworld814 honestly just haven't heard of sureflo!

You never showed some type of timer or anything. How did you have it cycle? 15 minutes on and 15 minutes off. Great video by the way.

Sorry must have gotten edited out of the video. I just use a normal outdoor timer. Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching.
