Need advice on adding a post

[PARKER MAPLE]

We have a lapierre 600 that is expandable, they say if I add a second post it should be somewhere around 900gph. I'm more concerned about the flow rates and wondering if someone can help me with some info. I would like the have this upgrade do 3gpm at 12% is that poss??

I believe it all depends on the sugar content of the raw sap. When we were looking for our new machine Lapierre told up that a two membrane machine from them would do 15% in one pass but for our evaporator which runs about 120 gph. But sugar content is vital. We now have a three membrane H2O machine. It will do 15-18 in one pass if the sugar content is 1.5 or up but at 2 gpm +/-.

For what it worth, Craig

If your interested, call Clayton at MES. He added another post to a Lapierre 600 just before the season started. Easy person to talk to. 603-359-8963
