While in season I detected no sugar passage in my permeate, I decided about 2 mos. later that some had passed. I save my permeate for filling my sprayer for spraying my blueberries. In years past the permeate has gotten very slightly cloudy after 2-2.5 months, but this year I found a heavy black cloud growing in it as early as May 25. I then decided it was time to buy the membranes others wrote about.
I ordered a pair of MES 4x40 membranes yesterday. Their web site showed them as on back order, but I was surprised to have them delivered today. That is super service for sure, about 27 hrs from placing the order to delivery. I hope they perform as well as others have said. My old membranes were the originals from 2012 (used 9 seasons).
It will be exciting to get familiar with these new MES membranes.
I will save the old ones for emergency use.

Dave, That is very impressive service. Are they located close to you?

Dave, i've been nothing but impressed with MES service and quality, i have a MES vacuum pump and ordered an electric extractor for the upcoming season, plus ss fittings. hope they work out well for you.
hoping to try out a set of their membranes too, i think the H2O ones we have been running have about had it.
Pdiamond- MES is about a 6-8 hour drive from Dave, i live not too far from him. (theyre in NH and we're in CNY)

My mistake, the order I placed 27 hrs earlier was a different order, sorry. I checked a short while ago, I actually placed the MES order Monday, at 4:03 pm. MES is in New Hampshire, I'm in central NY so it actually took 46 hrs not 27. Sorry for the mistake, but that's still very good for an item that was listed as back ordered. I just hope to be as impressed with the new membranes as I am with the shipping time. Now I can't wait for the 2021 season.

I think you will be very happy with them. I’ve used them for 3 seasons and have nothing but good things to say about their membranes. I’ve also been very happy with the service MES has provided me.

Thanks Clinkis, that's what I've heard from everyone who has used them. Exactly why I chose MES.
