In general, the more DE the better, but do not over fill your syrup with a volume of DE that cannot fit in the filter cavity. That inline filter i recommended holds ~6+ cups of DE.

so curious thing today with the RO....a brand new 400 GPD MES membrane with about 60 gallons run thru it at approx 130 PSI....2% going in, 2% going out, and broke out to 45 gallons concentrate and 15 gallons permeate coming out. I would have thought 1:1 at worst, not 3:1 concentrate to permeate. Checked the sugar on the permeate bucket, it was 0. I considered that I may have had the ports on the membrane housing swapped out but left is concentrate, center is permeate, right?
Normally with ports down, permeate is center and concentrate is slightly up to the right.
Finally made a video about the stainless inline filter version I built:

I normally use this for filtering whats in my evaporator pans, and my Smoky Lake filter press (in a totally seperate building) for finished syrup filtering and bottling.
However this does work great for filtering finished syrup as shown in the video.
so i finally got to use my RO filter system a couple weeks ago, one thing i noticed is , i needed to have the container i was filtering into lower then the heated canner other wise i couldnt get the syrup to come out the blue hose, is this normal ?
