Can well water that has been run through a water softener be used to make a supply of permeate?
Yes, I have seen that video and what has sparked my interest in it. Hope to see more details come out from Lapierre.
Just saw a short video on the new Lapierre Vision evaporator but cannot find many other details on them. I have heard they may have a different style of flue pan than traditional evaporators.
Can you show more pictures of your setup? I have The Next Gen 45gph RO and would like to upgrade. It has one 2-1/2" x 40" membrane and removes 20-25 gallons of permeate an hour. If I could add a 2nd...
Excellent build and everything looks to be extremely well thought out. Now all you need to do is find more trees to tap!
We make 30-40 gallons of syrup a year which I know isn't a lot. I bought a used D & G 7 bank 7" filter press 2 years ago used for $900 and would never go back to Orlon filters. This year we filtered...
I built a 12' x 18' sugar shack this year with a 6/12 roof pitch using conventional framed rafters. Bought (8) 4' long LED lights that were on sale at the local Farm and Home store for $20 each....
Thinking of upgrading my current RO and looking at the Leader Micro 1. From everything I have heard it is a well built unit but I cannot find any actual production figures on what it will do. I tap...
I have one black maple out of 110 total taps and it is by far my biggest producer. Have not checked its sugar content individually. I would tap them in a minute if I was you.
I just checked my RO and here are the specs for the pump and motor:
1) motor is 3/4 hp
2) pump is Procon 112A125F11BA 144413-1-1 225psi
If someone can decode if this pump/motor...
I have a 45gph RO from Next Generation Maple Products and it works great. Like everyone else I have added more taps and would like an RO that will process more sap. The unit I have has a 2.5" x 40...
Give me a call Rich and come on over/ I will give you the grand tour!
Funny thing on the paint I used. Went to local Sherwin Williams dealer when they had a 40% off sale and got a sample quart of Rustic Red and one of Barn Red. Try them on some sample boards and one...

Time for another update. 98% done!!! Only have about 2 hours of electrical left and need to purchase and install the double wall Stainless chimney pipe. Other than help raising the walls, I have done...
I'm curious to how many gph you get out of your 2x6 badgerland pans. Have thought about buying a set in the future myself
If you go on Bill's website their are several links showing how to brick it. Good luck!
Does anyone know what the thickness is of the stainless steel sheet that is commonly used on arch sides.
Was wondering if anyone has made their own or had a air tight arch front made for an older style arch with a cast front? I know Leader makes and sells them but they seem super expensive for what you...
you could powdercoat the bolts but not the threaded areas as long as they are not a super tight fit thru the plates as the powdercoating will add a certain amount of thickness to them.
I would recommend have it powdercoated.
Our huge change/update this year is the building of a new 12 x 18 sugar shack that I have documented on another thread on this site. This will be a huge upgrade for us after boiling outside for the...
Time for an update. Got the overhangs and fascia framed in this week. Got 75% of one side of the roof sheeted with 1" x 12" rough sawn pine today before I got rained out. Hope to finish getting the...
I should have qualified my original question. My thoughts were about proper ventilation for the 10 to 11 months of the year when not sugaring. I am building the shack with a 3'6" x 6'00" cupola which...
