    The sap was running some today, so i brought a sample home to test from the main line. 2.6%. Not bad for everything still mostly froze up. I know when i flip THE GREEN MOUNTAIN POWER SWITCH it will be a different story on content. There is plenty of moisture in the ground. There is going to be a river of sap coming to my s.h. this year.

    Thad, with the two RO's will you have to start concentrating long before you want to boil, or will the machines keep up? Do you run the membranes in series, or parallel? How long do you concentrate before you rinse, especially when you get to high concentrate? The ro room and plumbing looks nice and neat. Good luck with the new machine.
