Hopefully in the morning you'll wake up and realize it was all just a bad dream.

If he was RO'ing the sap to 20% or more he could run 3,000 taps on a 2x6.

What happened to the RO? What let loose? Just curious as I'm new to RO technology. Thanks.

things got better. i didnt make as much as id like to have but it went well once i got the ro fixed/ the ro broke though because they put steel fittings in a plastic end cap so there was no give when you tightend the fitting so it cracked the housing. only took two caps to realize this but other then that it was alot better and the ro worked very nicely.
