I had a big issue of chew holes caused by chipmunks and red squirrels. My previous lines lasted 7 years. But these lines were only on 3rd season. The line that was in use was Leader and before I buy...
I bought the RB25 kit last winter. It was easy to assemble and they are great to deal with. Also I averaged 58 gph which was higher than they had stated. It double my sugar content on one pass and...
Gord that seems like a good idea?
Will try thanks
Just went and hook up 4008 pump. And I hear it click for it to come on but nothing happens? This would be third season could it be seized?
What type of bracket is holding the filter on? Also I see a white clip around membrane cannister where did you get those?
If you have a Christmas Tree Shop you will find you can buy 16QT and 20Qt Stock pots at a reasonable price.
I have ordered a RB25 from RO Bucket company. I know I will mount to a 3/4 plywood. Rather I can mount it all on one side is dependent on space which I will not get to measure till next week. My...
Access water will be issue for me also. I will save 3 five gallon buckets of permeate each day for cleaning. Remainder I will discharge outside of shack.
Well I pulled the trigger on the RB20 it should more than handle what I will tap this year. And if I can tap all my trees next year after getting my knee replaced it will handle that too.
Years ago I took a maple class from Glen Goodrich. And what he was teaching was once you capped the jug to turn it upside down and than back and place it standing up. I have done that for 20 years...
I am trying to learn about these 2 RO's? And I have zero knowledge of RO in general. It appears the cdl unit removes 15% more water but at a max output of 7 gpr? So it would take longer to fill my...
My evaporator evaporates about 18 gph and my head tank is 30 gallons. I need a knee replacement that wont happen until late spring but I can stand for 6 or 7 hours boiling. So I am trying to figure...
I thought I would not be able to sugar this year but suddenly it appears I can. But to do so I think I will need an RO and given I will have about 100 taps I am thinking of the RB20 from the bucket...
I love to see pictures of how your set up if working within a small space? my shack is duel purpose and serves as a shed 10 months a year. I am not sure I would have room for a tank to house the...
Pete once you go over 1.25 inch in the pan on a 2x4 your boil rate drops considerably it defeats why you upgraded to the pan in the first place. I this this company does really well on making...
I got a 2x4 supreme pan and have same issue and to get the syrup to flow out of the center properly its needs to run between 1 inch and 1.25. I also have two gates to reduce the size of the openings...
Due to the virus out break I may not be able to get back to my property where I sugar for 2 weeks. I have close to 4 gallons that just needs to be thicken some stored in 2 pots in my basement which...
Anyone boiling on a supreme 2x4 pan? I continue to have issues with getting syrup to the draw off. The syrup stats in center channel!
My sap was 1.5 today and my highest has only been 2%
That thermost idea shown above is brilliant! Love this mapletrader site,
I boiled sweeten the pans yesterday and was a bit discourage that my sap was 1.9 but after reading here and seeing some where even lower I don't feel quite as bad. Hopefully it bounces up after good...
I have the 2x4 with blower and once I have built a fair amount of coals in fire box I can not run blower on high as It gets cherry red big time. If my mixture of wood is 1/2 softwood I dont seem to...
I used a deep cycle 12 volt battery and an inexpensive temp. control that I bought online. There are a couple threads on here that show you how to set up this kind of system. I will say if you got an...
