Hi all and Merry Christmas I tap around 20 trees and would like to purchase a small RO system. I am guessing my weekly flow to be around 100 gal. Can I use a small water filtration system like this one? http://m.ebay.com/itm/131384278997?nav=SEARCH

Thanks

Do you really think you need an RO for 20 taps????? You will not be left with much to boil

I am upgrading my evaporated to a 24"x24" flat pan my arch is going to be a cinder block and wood fired. And I am just worried that it will take forever to boil down.

so on a very good run you might get 20 gallons of sap a day.

Don't know last year I had 4 taps and got 10 gal a day. So this year after scouting the property better I found some more trees this year I will be up to 20 taps
