Dan,
Thanks for the info, and again, thanks for sharing your wisdom!!! I never even saw the 250W power supply. I agree, the price difference is minimal between the 200W and a beefier unit so I will...

Dan,
Thanks for the info, and again, thanks for sharing your wisdom!!! I never even saw the 250W power supply. I agree, the price difference is minimal between the 200W and a beefier unit so I will...
DRoseum,
I hope it is not bad etiquette for me to (again) derail 82cabby's original question (my apologies to you, 82cabby) but I have two questions regarding the Coronwater TYP-8900 pump.
1)....
Bullet,
Thanks. Yes, this is disappointing; however, it does somewhat ease the pain and frustration to know that my brother-in-law in not the only one that is experiencing these poor performance...
PaulRenaud,
My brother-in-law just recently bought the CDL Nano three-membrane system for the 2024 season. Due to our somewhat strange syruping window in Upper Michigan this year, he only set it up...
I am still very new to syruping so not too much experience to share... I did this with my wife's parents who showed me the ropes. Previously, they used a hydrometer and were always successful in...
If you are quick, there is a new listing on Ebay for the Coronwater TYP-8900 as of this morning - $55.69 + $15.35 shipping from New Jersey. I have been waiting for six weeks and they appeared this...
The very day that you posted this, I went to Ebay and set up a notification reminder when more arrived. Finally, six weeks later, more of the Coronwater Typ-8900K pumps appeared and I scored this...
...just another experience here...
I think each time I processed that there was at least two full days between running the sap through the RO and then boiling it. It may be noteworthy to state that...
Dan,
Thanks! Your help, guidance, and patience is VERY much appreciated!!! I am glad that you also posted the drawing of your system - I have been trying to read that from your website and, because...
DRoseum,
I, too, am very confused about the recovery rate. This subject comes up frequently and the last time it appeared I started looking up the topic of recovery rate and went down a few rabbit...
Hey Dan,
My apologies for always ‘piggybacking’ on others questions to ask another question BUT it is somewhat related. In regards to the Coronwater TYP-8900K pump, can 600 gpd RO membranes be...
We are in the Upper Peninsula and, just like everyone else, are VERY surprised at the unseasonably warm daytime temperatures that have occurred for the last couple of weeks. Most of our snow has now...
DRoseum,
Regarding the 500 gpd membrane housings that you are using for your 2023 RO build - are those setup for 1/4" or 3/8" fittings? Can it be either? If so, is there any advantage of the smaller...
Hey Dave!
I do not have an answer to your question BUT I do have a question for you regarding the Coronwater TYP-8900K pump. When I Google this pump, I see that it is available at a very attractive...
D. Roseum,
Excellent! Thanks for the explanation.
I have a basic question regarding reverse osmosis membrane sizing (i.e., 150 gpd, 200 gpd, 400 gpd…). Is there any disadvantage to using a larger 500 gpd membrane over using a 150 gpd membrane? Is...
DRoseum,
WOW! Thanks! All this is really helpful. I found an earlier thread where you linked the power supply you were using for the Coronwater TYP-8900 pump. That power supply had two separate...
82cabby,
Yes, this setup worked well for the 25 trees I have tapped for the previous two years. Given the number of five-gallon buckets I have on-hand, I have to balance the storage of sap to the...
I have used a home-built RO machine for the previous two years and it has performed nicely. The current configuration is much like the unit detailed on the Mattatuck Madness Maple Syrup webpage using...
That is SO true!!! My wife and I moved from Alabama to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula in the fall of 2020. Our land here is full of sugar maples so, with the help and guidance from her experienced...
Thanks fellow syrupers!!! With the plethora of practically instant search results, it is hard to distinguish realistic 'best practices' from someone, like me (very much a novice), 'one-time'...
Because our syruping season has come to a close, it is time to hibernate the Reverese Osmosis machine! Mine, like many others here, is a home-built version utilizing the AquaTec 8852 pump, a...
Dr. Perkins,
In additional reading, I see that there is a rather large debate within the brewing community about the usability and practicality of a Proofing Parrot. To get around some of the...
Short version: Has anyone attempted to use a ‘proofing parrot’ to test the Brix level of the concentrate from their reverse osmosis machine?
Long version: As I am still very new to syruping, I...
Has anyone here used/experimented with using the "RAPT Pill Hydrometer & Thermometer" (https://www.kegland.com.au/rapt-pill-hydrometer-thermometer-wifi-bluetooth.html) while processing their tree's...
