    Default Looking for RO recommendations for 100 tap hobby producer

    Looking for recommendations for a small portable RO system for a small hobby operation that will max out at around 100 taps. Looking to keep cost down and avoiding going to a larger evaporator then my present 2 x 3. Any recommendations on brands and costs would be appreciated. Thanks , Clay

    I have a Deer Run 75. It does about 55 to 60 GPH and I can go from 2% to 5ish% in one pass.
    I think the price was $1500 but that was 3 years ago.

    I built my own. It will handle a maximum of 100 gal/hr. I was able to bring 300 gallons of sap from 2.25% to around 9-10% with the unit in about 5 hours. I spent around $600 total. (+ hours and hours of design time of course). Learned a lot though and had quite a bit of fun designing it.
