deer run maple ro (storage-short term)

[grimmreaper]

I have the 250 model.i recently ran 250 gals of water through it in intentions to run sap,but we had a freeze up now for over a week and a half...its in a warm place..will it be ok for another week or two with no chemicals?

Run water through it again. Once I open my ro up for the season, I will run water through it every 5-7 days if I have no sap. This will keep the membranes fresh.

I'm not an authority by any means, but have the 125, and did the same thing a couple weeks ago. I just ran a cold rinse, warm wash, cold rinse and it seemed fine with concentrating after that (flow rate, etc...) I just drained the pump, reprimed it, emptied and changed out the sediment filter on ours. Hopefully the freeze up will be only short term! I guess longer term I'd use Ray's suggested storage solution. Maybe others can chime in. take care, Mark

If you ran any sap, you may need preservative to prevent anything growing inside. If you just ran water, You're OK, just keep it from freezing. Then rinse again just before using.

thanks to all,i guess i'll wait for spring sometime soon!oh I didn't run sap so I think I'm in good shape other than no sap yet to run!
