People will tell you that it goes by taps or by evaporation rate, but I say that it goes by how many hours you want to boil per day. You have to look at hour many gallons per hour of concentrate a given RO will produce, how many gallons of sap per day you expect on a big day and how many gallons per hour your evaporator will boil. Someone who has nothing to do but boil all day can use a smaller RO than someone who gets home from work at 5 and wants to be in bed by 11. Those two people could have the same taps and evaporators but would need different RO's based on their goals.
