OK we have decided to take the plunge and get a machine. I've never had a machine so know nothing. I think we have decided to go with Nupulse from Hambry Dairy Supply (unless of course you guys talk me out of it becuase I missed something) So below is a list of the things I am ordering to get set up. Have I missed something I need?, do I have something on there I don't need? Do I have to do the dairy detergent or can I use something else to clean the machine, like ACV or food grade bleach??? If I can save money one something I am all for that, but being sanitary is number one at the same time.

hambydairysupply.com/xcart/product.php?productid=2004 Nupulse bucket milker
hambydairysupply.com/xcart/product.php?productid=380 Dairy Detergent
hambydairysupply.com/xcart/product.php?productid=59 inflation brush
hambydairysupply.com/xcart/product.php?productid=71 bucket brush
I have bought a Surge Vacuum SP11 pump, it has a 1.5 horse power motor and runs at 3515 RPM. I am assuming that is large enough to run this bucket? The second question is how many buckets would this motor run? One person I read about milked 6 cows at once and ran three buckets, I am assuming 2 claws/cows per bucket? How do you get more then one claw hooked to a bucket?
Also eventually(this fall hopefully) I will have my dairy barn done. I would like to be able to put the pump in the kitchen/milk processing room, and then run a PVC? pipe from it into the milking room to run my buckets, and then also have another attachment in the kitchen to run the jetter washer beside the sink. Would this pump do all of that also?
Sorry for so many questions, but this is so new and I want to do it right the first time. I've milked by hand for 9 years that's "easy" compared to learning all of this.
Thanks so much
