Tapping bits are effortless and drive themselves in. Highly recommended over any other bit. Last for 1000's of tap holes.

I've neutralized with vinegar. Don't run that thru the RO tho. I do washes at home in my garage. I use a 10 gallon stainless pot and I put it on a burner to help warm it up. My soap is chemically...
Smokey lake says to do this in their YouTube videos. You should check those out Gary
Tim, could aluminum be used as a head tank? Hood preheat?
Old 2x4 stainless flat pan. Want more capacity so adding 2'x2' pan to sit on top.
De could be lodged in orlon still? I found letting the syrup settle out first really helped the filtering after. How much de did you use per gallon? 1/2 cup per gallon is what I heard but I use up...
I use the gear auger machine to make cream and candy. Not sure why others said you cant. Maybe they just dont sell one? Lol
Called the manufacturer and these pumps wont work at all for sap due to the seals. They would be leaking in 1 months time or less. Thanks for all opinions and comments.
Yes as I said only the stainless housings and pump will be re-used. The stand and the electrical also. I did find that the pump is all stainless/no carbon steel. Going to call mf today and see...
The only thing being re-used will be stainless. That being said it is down to the membrane housings and the pump. I need to get more info on the pump and also take apart to see what its internals...
TY DR PERKINS! This would cost me 7-10k so buying some new membranes, piping and seals is alot cheaper. And yes I'm aware the permeate was their "product".
Again I'm bigger than the RO bucket. They take too long to produce I havent updated my signature but will do that now. Last year I did 350 taps. I boil about 300-500 gallons of sap in a day so...
How would a person test that with the kit? Fill with water after a good scrub/cleaning, new lines etc? Fill with water and test the water?
John- I'm a little bigger than the ro bucket buddy. Doing 4x40x3 or 4
Will the current smaller knobs leak when vacuum is applied? I'm a steamfitter so I know some good SS welders.
I'm considering only reusing the shells, the pump, and flow meters. I think the piping was undersized anyways at least for maple. They go thru a water filter before hitting the membranes also. You...
Last year I stored my unfiltered syrup in new plastic 5 gallon jugs bought at the maple store. This year I want to try the corney kegs. Do they seal good normally? Do I need to modify them to hold...
My thoughts are to gear up in this fashion
1 remove and toss old membranes
2 fill system and flush
3 test Hp pump operation off well water pressure
4 clean system with membrane soap cleaner?
5...
All valid questions mark. It appears like it's in decent shape. I have no money stuck into this. There is 2 of them. I got them from a friend. It seems like if I get it up and running and sell 1...
I have some carwash reverse osmosis machines up for grabs. If I run a wash cycle and install new membranes, can they be salvaged for maple use? They have a high pressure pump 4-4×40 membranes (which...
that just took me to usda dep of Ag website but nrcs does have an office in my neighboring city. what exactly do you reccomend i talk to them about?
talked to a smart fella yesterday and he said a centrifugal pump cant over pressurize a membrane to the point of explosion because centrifugal pumps will just slip in that scenario. In my head i...
what is that
Yes, and they refer the logger. Right now it's too late and I'll try again in summer. I'm from Clark County. Dad used to run Forestry and Parks also for a few years.
I think we are baffled together. He had to have meant the opposite.
