    Does anyone have anything negative to say about Ray Gingrich ROs? Seems like all I have heard is positive and about 40 to 50 percent the cost of commercial units by the Maple companies.

    My seal between the high pressure pump and motor began leaking a few drop of oil per hour. Ray said run it until season is over as long as it doesn't get worse.

    We got Ray's bigger 125 gph unit and love it! We have spent way less time cooking this year, the thing works great!

    One negative thing about my 375 is that it doesn't take out the garbage or stack firewood.

    I take it he sells one smaller than the 125 gph unit? Are they simple to operate? Basically all you need are permeate and concentrate catch tanks and you would be ready to go?

    Now that all my tanks are full and the RO won't turn on and no answer at either of his numbers when I called at 4 I would say I'm kinda mad! No skematics for trying to trouble shoot it either. This sucks!

    Disclaimer: I am a complete idiot sometimes and just need to walk away and start over.

    After taking electrical box apart which was very simple. I troubleshot through the few relays and everything seemed it working properly. I then looked again at the motor and the cut out safety switch apparently I just didn't push it in all the way trying to reset it. I assume it popped up because I was having problems priming the pump which is why I added a feed motor. Ray did call me back late in the evening I didn't answer because I was busy concentrating and boiling and said I could call him back anytime the next morning.

    "Disclaimer: I am a complete idiot sometimes". Lol!

    Here's another disclaimer: Me too. I think we've all been there a time or two.

    Glad to hear that it was a simple fix. Simple fixes are awesome.
