Marimuck, are those grey discs, umbrella valves. I still have the flapper type and thinking of trying them.

I do not believe Bosworth has a Teflon diaphragm for their hand pump. I like the silicone but it can really start to bulge under temp and pressure and wanted a back up. I did inquire about pigment...

I just upgraded my filter press hand pump. It came with white silicone diaphragm. The new buna-n (black) diaphragm i got to replace it is suppose to be stronger and last longer. When a got it I...

Couple years ago I had similar issue. My syrup tasted almost like the felt filter smells when hot. Filter appx. 2 years old, cleaned and stored properly. I do a taste test before filtering and was...

I to have a sheets press with hand pump. I usually do four to give gallon batches and add about four cups of de. It can be hard to get the last bit through. Interesting your getting five to seven...

I collected today, me trees are running more on the north side also. I guess thats typical, I allways make sure I put a tap on the north side for this reason. Some buckets were clear, most were...
