View Full Version : Very happy with the Small Bros R/O

It wasn't as good a season as hoped, but the free R/O worked well in my opinion. I got flow rates of about 180gpm at 250psi with the 2 xle4040s. Passes absolutely no sugar and was able to get 66% of the water out at that pressure. It seemed to max out at about 400 psi (the hp pump would stop or it would throw the breaker) where I was getting more like 75%. The only thing I would change is putting the low pressure cutoff switch after the pre-filter instead of before it. The 10" filter only clogged up at the very end of the season when the sap was pretty slimey, and the hp pump was starving for sap.

That should be 180gph!

Um, you said FREE???? Did you just get lucky or is there some catch? :)

It belonged to a co worker that passed away and no one else had a use for it.
