I see that GE makes a 1 GPM Reverse Osmosis machine available on Ebay for about 400 bucks. I got in touch with the dealer and he has no experience with sap but asked if I could find out "What type of membrane" was used. If it is a standard membrane I might be able to fight the cost of fuel. Have to figure out how to preheat the sap to 77 degrees in a separae preheater but if I can recirculate the sap and keep the "waste" with the sugar in it I might be in business. With an oil fired 2x6 evap and only about 250 taps 1 GPM sure could help if set up right. With the cost of fuel it should pay for itself.

So the quetion is...does anyone know what kind of membrane sap RO machines use?
