Mark,
I use https://www.banjovalves.com/ for valves and strainers. They are very responsive.

I've seen what you describe on the outside of the membrane wrapping. (I believe the membrane itself is clean, they perform up to spec.) I run 2- 3 membrane 4x40 units. 1- MES set, 1- XLE. Can occur...
Go with the 10gbs15, it will handle the third 4040 membrane. I run (2) 3-membrane setups, recirculate 275 gallon(tote) batches to 12%. Set the pressure at 150 psi, permeate will begin at 3-3.25 gpm...
THanks Russ, I'll look into it.
Ptim,
I went down the road you are headed. Bought a CDL 2x8 traditional arch that had a 2x2 reverse flow syrup pan with 2x6 raised flue evaporator pan. Added a Waterguy ro. Concentrated to 4%,...
I seen a two level design at an amish gentleman's camp that looked very efficient. I measured the height to be 30 inchs. I then modified it to include an ash pit, and narrowed it to support our 1-...

Works very well
A 2x8 with RO will handle 600 taps easy, but, if available, go with a crossflow syrup pan. I began with 12 taps in 2011, grew to 1100 taps in 2015. My CDL 2x2 reverse-flow syrup pan would nitre up on...
I added a second membrane (XLE) in series to my WG 2500, works fine. Be happy to talk with you, if you forward your phone number, but too many details for my typing skills. I also run a WG 5000 with...
I run 2 of them (1-2 membrane 1-3 membrane 800 total taps) to concentrate sap to 10-12%.
The key for me is to batch process at low (150) pressure and recirculate until the permeate flow almost...
Cider Hill,
I had problems like yours with a small waterguy ro.
I found that batch processing worked better me.
I process the first batch (275 gallon for me) to where the permeate almost...
Ben,
If you forward me your phone number, I can probably help you. Would rather talk in person.
Ben,
When you install the new larger filter and larger return hose, Take the cap or breather off the tank when you first test it. This will prevent blowing the filter in the event the tank is too...
Try running your unit with the Breather removed, add a pipe or hose to make a verticle column to prevent spilling, If it foams or pumps out the top you will need a bigger tank. (your problem is a...
