Does Using an RO change the flavor of the Syrup Produced?

Thanks Wiam. That website was helpful.

Correction table on that site is for MES membranes the table in Lapierre’s literature is quite different. But a lot of membrane info there.

I had a guy evaporating my sap for six years that used RO.
The syrup was good, but this year it was done the traditional way on a 2x4 continuous flow pan, without RO,
The flavor, is a lot different, more "maple" flavor. Call me crazy, but I'll never go back to RO processed syrup. The new "fast" ways of a lot of things aren't always better.

How does one define "the traditional way", and how can you be certain that it was the use of an ro that lead to the change in flavor you describe?

When it comes to cleaning and rinsing you machine its like brushing your teeth and then sipping a fine wine YUK. Next time rinse your mouth out real nice with water and take a few moments and then try it.
