Just wondering if it would be possible to make an RO machine out of an undersink RO machine. I have a whirlpool undersink ro that ive used for a couple years that im not using anymore its got a 3.5 gallon tank and will do 34-45 gallons a day. if i changed the filters in it would this work, i know it wont produce a lot of concentrated sap per day but i i can make it work why not.

thanks in advance

I'm interested in this idea as well. A small slow system would work just fine for a small timer like myself.

if i know the right filter to get i will try it out and let everyone know but i dont have a refractometer that will go low enough to test the sugar content of the sap before and after to compare

could somebody shed some light on what the best filters or membranes i would need for this setup, im gonna try it out with about 50 gallons of sap this weekend but i gotta go get the filters first.

thanks
