So the feed line is set up just like it is for my Deer Run reverse osmosis machine. The only difference is that the H2O is horizontal and the Deer Run is vertical. I’ve noticed that when the H2O...
I have a H2O 300 concentrator question. I’m having a hard time getting it to start initially. It seems like it has a vapor lock. Not sure if anyone else has ever run into this and if you have what...
So just a question on using a water jacketed canner. How long does it take to heat syrup up to bottling temp with an electric WJ canner
I have a question on bottling syrup. My current process is I put the syrup through the filter press into bulk barrels. When I need to bottle I then pump from the barrels with my filter press pump...
I like the side tie idea. Do you hook the wire directly on the laterals or do you put something between the lateral and the wire? I would think the wire would kink the 5/16 lateral tubing?
Would like to find out the best method for tightening laterals when running solo. Since my son is in college I usually have to tighten them by myself. Using a two-handed tool can be difficult. Has...
I went out yesterday afternoon and did some physical counts. The south side of the property is much better than the north side. On the southside I was averaging about 130 taps per acre. I believe the...

Looking at a piece of property for sale. Went out and looked it over today. Real nice maple bush. About 70% maples and 30% mixture of beech,oak,and aspen. Question is if I end up buying do I go in...
I have a smooth trowel finish. It’s fine the way it is for grip and traction. Even with snow covered boots. Just don’t like the way it looks (dirty)
When I built my sap shack I poured concrete throughout. Now it is getting stained and dirty and I would like to seal with something. Have tried Thompson’s and was not impressed. My concern is I don’t...
Hi Dave. Pump is 115v at 1.5 amp. I am running an inverter generator also. Thx for your help
Just curious how far anyone has run power (12/2 wire) to a sap guzzler pump without issue. I ran 250 ft last year and had no problems. Has anyone gone farther than that??? I have 110 volt pumps and...

So I'm wondering what everyone is using for their initial flush on there are R/O membranes prior to maple syrup season. Obviously I don't have R/O water and last year I just use tapwater. We have a...
Yes it came from a maple dealer. Lapierre. I put 7 cups with about 10 gallons of syrup and it was stirred constantly. I did the same way I’ve done all season and did 260 gallons of syrup with no...
Just another question from a newby. So I needed to get another bag of DE and grabbed the bag below from the local supplier. Noticed it was a different consistency (fluffier) than the last bag I had....
I just purchased a sap Guzzler pump today. I listened to a gentleman doing a demonstration on them at the Michigan maple syrup weekend in February. He stated that the discharge should be below the...
So I just realized after putting my taps in that I had used a 19/64 bit instead of a 5/16 bit when drilling the hole. The taps I am using our Lapierre 5/16 clear disposable taps. When I put the spout...
