Did you get 200 gph on the memprotec unit? Also, what % did you get on your passes?
Do you get 125 gph on the first pass or a little less?
Looking for any feedback between these two hobby ROs from anyone using either.
Thanks.
Yes I believe it is around 30 psi for low pressure shutoff. I am not understanding why parameters have changed going from one membrane to two. Running one membrane I could run my concentrate needle...
I should have clarified that when running at 2 gpm concentrate the permeate is at 2.25 gpm.
I just added preservative into the system and I usually ran the needle valve at 3.5 gpm concentrate when I rinse and add preservative at end of season when it was 1 membrane. Now with the newly...
Still trying to understand the pressure. So when I start processing sap the pressure will go up when running the concentrate at 0.8 gpm compared to 150 psi with distilled water at 0.8 gpm?
Ok. Thanks for the answers to my questions. I guess I will just run preservative in and wait until next season.
Will the pressure increase when I start running sap back to when I was running the single membrane (210 psi)? I have never adjusted the recirc screw from day one. It is running at 150 psi with the...
Just completed upgrading Dolly 100 to 225 and I am running only 150 psi compared to 210 psi when processing with the single membrane. I am leak testing and checking with distilled water on 2 brand...
Not much coming in since it got to above freezing yesterday afternoon. Trying to get enough for one more boil.
Vacuum was put on last evening but not much came in and then 25 this morning. Few have started running this afternoon but trees are probably froze again after this past week and I know frost is back...
Everything is tapped and sugarshack all set. Should be good weekend hopefully. Most guys here in Southern Erie County are tapped.
Started clean-up here in Southern Erie County. Alot of indicators that season is over (peppers out strong for three days in a row, 60s to low 70s since Sunday as of today with more coming into the...
Looks like these 60s yesterday, overnight, and today has brought us to the end coupled with some 50s sprinkled in the last week and a half. The freezes this past week didnt bring too much and the...
Was wondering how sap run was today. Finished getting tanks set, sugarhouse ready, and was set to tap but decided to hold off for another week due to the extreme cold, High winds, and saw 10-15...
Staying in it until tomorrow or Saturday depending on the run. Boiled today from collecting yesterday and will see where collection tank in woods ends up with from today and tomorrow. Around 100...
Seeing who is still tapped hoping for a run starting tomorrow. Turned the vacuum pump on late this afternoon but not much happening.
Going to hang in there through the middle of next week to see if we can get one more run after this weekend's freeze.
1 1/2'-2' of snow here and out of power since 5 am this morning. After plowing all morning it is time to finish and bottle some syrup today. Feels like I should be snowmobiling instead of doing maple...
For anyone running a Honda 5.5 hp motor on a double diaphragm pump, what is your run time on a full tank of gas?
Are you able to send me or post some pictures of it? Thanks.
Going to purchase one but been back and forth on a single or double. I currently have 100 taps on around 900 ft of 3/4" Main Line with around 1700 feet of laterals. I do know you need to keep the...
I see the ATC units are for a minimum temperature of 10C or 50F. Are there charts for compensation if the sap is say 45F or 40F?
Anyone using the Dolly 100gph?
