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.

I am sorry to hear that. I can sympathize, to some extent. My equipment is in a low area, and I had water half way up my Busch pump, but fortunately didn't cause damage. Had to rescue pumpout pump just before it submerged. Hope you can get replacement equipment in time!
All the best,
