RO input / experience

[325abn]

Does anybody have any input / experience with the Paul Family Maple basic RO machine they advertise on CL? I am going to take the RO plunge for next year and his setup looks like a reasonably priced starting point.

If you're still interested in our ROs please let me know. It gets very busy closer to sugaring season. You can pick one up any time.

I see you didn't get any other responses from our customers. We have ROs in Northern Vermont, central Vermont and Maine. Hope your preparations for next season are going well.

Yes I am still interested for sure. Can you post some more tech info here? Trying to decide if I want to start with one or two membranes. Thanks

If you're still interested in our RO please let me know.

Specs:

Sap throughput: 180 gph
Membrane size: 4" x 40"
Size: 46" wide, 52" high, 10" front to back
(designed to hang on a wall)

Water removal rate from 2% sap at 35 deg F:
(prices for complete system with jet pump feed *)

1 membrane: 50 gph $2255 = $1775 + $480 (feed pump, Filter, Cartridges, Gauge)
2 membranes: 90 gph $2800
3 membranes: 120 gph $3345

* a feed pump is required. A sump pump could also be used. Call for details.

Let me know if you have other questions.
