I'm joining this thread late but would appreciate any thoughts on summer storage of a 125 Dear Rum RO. I have done the end of years rinses, washes and added the preservative. Ray Gingrich recommended...
I feel like I just got my first Red Rider Daisy BB gun with a compass in the stock. Is that wrong?

We'll guys here is the monster you helped create. Thanks so much. Not completely connected but you can get the idea. Let me know if I'm gonna shoot my eye out with this set up this way.

Well we are finishing out the season today. Pulled all taps and started clean up. Already making plans to have more taps next year. It's a sickness I guess. We will start filtering about 44 gallons...

Better pic. There is 300 ft of mainline total. I'm sorry for asking redundant (?) Questions but if you have 29 taps on 1600 ft why isn't that like a giant lateral? If anyone has a thread...
