The next 200 are in and only one more broken CV.

350 more for today. As expected one broken cv per day. Had a few southern facing show some trunk sap. Gave up installing the new ro in "factory condition." Found the pre filter installed backwards from the factory. That gave me licence to start tearing it all apart and put it back together the way the works best for me. Fun.

Mike,
I took the feed pump off and turned it around so that it faces the feed tank. I figure that if I keep it mounted to the frame it won't vibrate like you said yours does. I took the 5 micron filter and mounted it above the wash tank. I am considering buying another so I can change filters on the fly. I have yet to remove the MCC/FC panel and mount in the wall, but I bet I will do it before next season. FWWebb was the best price for the 20" filters. $4.00 ea when you buy a case vs $5.00 from the maple suplyers. I will post some pics when it is all done.
