Yes, likely., thermometer off but you may be OK just adding 7.1 or .2. I usually add about 9 and get better results.
The filtering leaves a big question. Looking online at the filters Tap My Trees sells, I would like to know how thick the filters are? It looks to me that they are selling you 2 pre-filters and no filter. A syrup pre-filter is very thick and you don't need 2, but what you do need it 2 or 3 prefilters on top of the syrup filter. You filter by putting 2,3,4 or even 5 pre-filters on top of a syrup filter. If only filtering a little at a time, one or 2 is fine. Then with the syrup at 185-190 or more you pour the syrup on the filter stack. As it flows thru the top prefilter often gets plugged up with niter and if it slows excessively, you carefully remove the top pre-filter, letting the syrup flow into the second one and continue filtering. Keeping the syrup hot enough is the hard part on a small operation.
You do not need to nor do you want to filter so many times, the syrup will end up the clearest with just 1 proper filtering operation.
Go to a catalog for Leader Evaporator, or CDL, or Lapierre, or any other maple supply catalog and look at the filters, (or Bascom Maple carries a few different brands but likely only one filter choice. The main filter is very thick, maybe in the 3/16"-almost 1/4" thick. It will last for a very long time IF you take care of it. Wash it in clean hot water only, squeeze it to get rid of excess water, use no soaps or detergent and NEVER wring it. That will break the fibers and render it useless. You have 2 options, synthetic or wool. Most now days use synthetic. For the pre-filters, they can be and are washed many times and reused, again, use only clean hot water and those also should never be wrung out, just hang them to dry.
Keeping the syrup hot is key to getting it thru the filter. Try to come up with a way to help the syrup stay good and hot, pot in a pot, or some way to help hold the temperature. I said 185-190, but that is minimum, I filter at 210-215. Then be sure the syrup is at 185 -190 to bottle it. Do not heat it to over 190 to bottle or you create more niter. Here's a link to a page from Bascom Maple https://www.bascommaple.com/category..._flat/filters/
You will see their FPR22 pre-filters at $18/doz. and the FSYN22 is the filter to go with it. With proper care both should last yo 10 or even 20 years. Back when I was filtering small batches, I made a rack to hold a cone filter and placed it in a large pot (SS in 24 qt size) and then put the pre-filters in the cone. At that time I stacked 3 or 4 in the cone. Then I poured the HOT syrup in the cone and put a lid on the large pot. That held temperature. However cone filters are a problem because they fill and clog the bottom of the cone far too fast, make something to do similar with a large flat filter and it will work better.
Have fun.
Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
