Buy a round one and get Flatland to square it up for you in his jeep.

Leader makes a square filter tank and they do ship to Canada. You can order directly from their web site or contact one of their two Ontario distributors.

I don't believe this is the tank he is talking about, I think he is talking about the 28 inch square tank made for the flat filters and you are right I don't see them anywhere. If you were to call Leader or even Lapierre I bet they still have the ability to build one and give you a price. Of course you could resort to Flatlander tin knocking Inc. LOL

Yes 802,it is the flat tanks I am referring to that you place the square felt filters and prefilter papers on,I will check with Bruce at Leader to see if they still make them or how expensive they are.
Thanks,Bruce

Bruce - Page 55 of this year's Lapierre catalogue has all kinds of rectangular syrup pans including the filter rack.

Thanks Marty,guess I just figured they were some sort of water-jacketed bottling units when I went through the catalogue

That looks nice but the unit he is looking for has a tapered bottom and is 28 by 28 so that the 36 x 36 flat filters work.
