Subject: RE: Pics of my syrup set up


Nebraska, The land of corn and cattle

Have you had issues with it getting too think to pump?  We use a 2" I think Bowie pump, but ours is about 15ft down because of our buried tank, but it actually has a ton of pressure, We use 2" steel pipe up to the wagon and it would splatter something fierce, so we have to keep our drainback/recirculate valve open a little all the time.

Looks good otherwise, just alot of hose but it has to be that way I understand, I spent a ton of time thinking of how to do ours with the least amount of piping, I love the way it turned out and the truckers all comment on how ours is nicer than 80% of systems out there.  


Honestly if a guy is thinking about syrup, and it if it gets fairly cold, a buried tank or having it in a insulated and heated shed is the only way to go, we never have to worry about frozen lines or pump like we did when we had it just outside.
