This is not unusual on several of the cast fronts. Seen where people have used a large pipe clamp across the front of the arch to keep things intact for both the short term and for the longer. Also...

Hodorskib, , is that 12 gph of concentrate? If so that is a decent increase by going with the larger membranes 400 vs the 150gpd correct? The aqua tech pump handles these with no issues? Are your sap...

A few questions about these small scale ro's:

What is the advantage/disadvantage to plumbing these hobby ro's in series vs. parallel It looks like Hordoskib's uses series and something like the RO...

Looks like a nice/ clean set up. I am considering something very similar to build as my evaporator currently boils off about 20 gals. and I am thinking the smaller versions like the RO Bucket and the...

You will ideally want 2 dividers and 3 sections in the flat front syrup pan 4 would be best but on an 18" pan that is not practical

About the same here.. I am at 9 boils so far for the season, average for me is 15-16 boils. Looking at my wood I am more that 2/3 of the way through it. Looking at extended weather it could either by...

Good stuff remember, we're not getting older, just getting better. Last night in SH was having trouble with seeing the lines on ole hydrometer myself, ran and grabbed my spectacles, problem solved....

Sounds like a new marketing strategy to me! I bet Ace can get you top dollar pushing your product retail... imagine the possibilities and the potential 😄

Heus,

did you down size? Or just go the route of bigger ro/ smaller evaporator? As far as A&A quality there were no issues or problems with the joints or soldered areas? Was yours a drop or raised...

I here ya, I too make syrup on my Lapierre, but have had a close call or two with plugging it to get it to go the final degree and then it often will over shoot by 2-4 degrees and I have to draw some...

I would first suggest adjusting your front float so that the syrup pan has 1" depth and keep your flue pan at slightly higher. (Just covering the tops of the flues)As others have said, these smaller...

It's good thing your not still in Vermont with that tank thing, heck up here you would need a local permit, a design and review hearing and an act 250 study, plus the Pope's blessing before you could...

Looking for some current owners to provide their thoughts, photos, and feed back about their A & A Metals Shop evaporators. I know some of the PA area folks have them and I am interested to hear...

Well Natures RO was helping me out last night, collected some super high octane 3.7 % sap and lit a fire to it and was drawing nice syrup in no time.. Will finish up after work today and drain...

Hey, as long as this person is a "bater master" and not a "master bater" type, I'm all for their help and for the good of all of us traders with potential "bater" issues.

Whew,

I was beginning to think that maybe after having the former Gov. of NH at your place last year that you had taken a job working at some posh home at an unnamed location..... At least I...

Maple season isn't maple season until we hear from Hop Kiln Road...... Hello out there? Guessing maybe he is trapped in a tangle of 3/16 tubing and RO lines keeping him from getting to a computer...

What did you get for a custom 2x6 ? Who is the outfit?

I second the Canadian manufactures's not nessicarily due to Better quality but more so due to the favorable current exchange rate with Canadian to US dollars. That being said CDl, Lapierre, Thor, H2O...

while I do not have the same exact evaporator I do have a smaller hobby sized drop flue lapierre model. What I have found over the years is due to the small surface area of these syrup pans one needs...

I don't have the H2O model but I do have a very similiar model made by Lapierre. These evaporator are good for around 100 Taps, and most set up as stock evaporate around 15+/- gals. Per hour. I have...

MIsugardaddy, thanks for info, so it sounds like one deep cycle battery could power a surflow pump for each run and having two would allow swapping out and recharging which is what I was hoping for....

Boondocker,or any one else, what kind of deep cycle battery would a set up like yours require? Are they available through eBay or Amazon? Guesstimate on prices?

I've had a good friend boiling for me the last 2 nights. He doesn't understand all the technology that we have, but enjoys boiling the 25% sap I put into the rig! Does my heart good to see his smile...

I have a Lapierre Jr drop flue evaporator 18X66. On best days I can get 18- 20 Gallons evaporation per hour. I have tweeked mine with a forced draft and a steam hood and preheater inside of that. I...
