Is it happening only on the wash rinse cycle? On my Econox 600 when I wash or rinse I set my after filter pressure to 30 psi by the V3 valve. Thats according to H20 directions for wash rinse cycle.

Has anybody talked to A&A metal lately? I called a few days ago and left a message but no response. Earlier in the year I left a message and Nelson called me right back.

I talked to Nelson a couple weeks ago. I called 1-814-848-9840. I left a message and he called me right back.

Do you let the press run for a little bit filtering back into the heated syrup tank? It'll be cloudy then it'll clear up. Then you can go to the canner or what ever you're using to bottle. Did you...

You need to tell us a little more as to what the problem is your having. Everything Maple Flats said is how you run the press. I had 1 first year an filtered 92 gals of syrup. Biggest problem I had...

Loac they aren't cheap but the lightest I've seen. Makes a difference when walking thru the woods with them hanging around your neck. Also grip the tubing better even when wet.

What kind of filters are you using? The filters from Buon Vino? They have 3 different grade filters. I wouldn't dare to guess which 1's would work for maple syrup. They are a thicker harder filter...

I ran it thru 1 pass after you get the papers and plates coated. I thought it worked very well. I canned some in glass jars and no sand or anything.

Like Pdiamond said did you filter at 190 degrees? I had the same press as you. I bought additional plates from Maple Guys to get to 7 plates I believe. I also ran my filtered syrup back to holding...

Something to think about. This year I went to a 600 gph RO. My plan was to have the RO in a room off my shop as I didn't have room for a dedicated RO room in sugarhouse. I also switched homeowners...

I picked up a Pacer pump rated for 150 gph from Runnings for 269.00. It has a Briggs motor. I use a 1 1/2" hose on a 2" pump works well. You can throttle the pump down as well.

I have had plastic from drilling mainline get stuck in valves. I have unions on both ends. When this happens I take sap unhook unions an tip pump up n flood inlet valve. Usually works for me. Hope...

Bosworth company in RI. Yes you have to by the kit it'll come with valves, stop, O-rings. I put them in mine. Aren't they fun to pull apart!:lol:

Is it a true Guzzler pump made by Bosworth? They have the 400 and the 500. Difference being 400 has 4 bolt inlet/outlet and the 500 has a 6 bolt flange.

I had to order mine from Bosworth company. Nobody carries the umbrella valves. Very good to deal with. Got them in a few days. Valves are installed correctly right?

Something I also had happen was a piece of plastic caught behind valve which wouldn't let it seal. Plastic was from drilling mainline saddles. I tipped pump up while running an poured sap in it to...

I had same issue. No vacuum. I have 4 mains going to a bigger main. I added valves on all 4 lines. shut them all and checked vacuum then opened 1 at a time fixed leaks that I had mostly on tee's...

If you dead head pump an pull 15" it must be in your mainline lateral line system. Check make sure all taps are in. Which I'm sure you have. Do you have just 1 mainline?

I made my own pvc holders as well. I was going to use vacuum sealed bags but after trying 1 I bought sap sacks. Vac bags r stiff to wrap are the holder. If you do the math sacks are cheaper I...

Yes I'd like to see some info on it. Thanks

I used the Buon Vino press this past yr. Filtered 80+ gallons. I didn't change anything other than adding extra plates. Think I was at 7 or 8 plates. First run I was able to get almost 12 gals thru...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our maple friends an family’s.

I'm new to this site and new to vacuum. 1 of the big manufacturers say 3/4 mainline is good for 250 taps. But at what length of mainline. If u have 1000ft of line would it increase tap count?

When I bricked my arch this year I looked all over. I ended up getting my bricks from a local leader dealer. Leader seems to be the cheapest on both full and half bricks.

I haven't done anything with mine yet. I just used my 8+ yr old hunting boots that I primarily used for ice fishing. The guys I know that have them didn't say anything about size issue. From what I...
