What diameter were you using? I use a 1" silicone hose and the valves that feed it are full port 1" valves. Mine has not failed and it's been in use for 6-8 years. Are you pumping with a gear pump or air diaphragm pump? If air, slow the pump down a little.
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.
