Thinking about a Leader Micro 125

[MapleMark753]

I know you've asked about the Leader micro, but I'll risk your ire by posting a few comments about Rays' stuff. I have the electric 125 Ray makes. Its upgradable to 250, uses 9 amps of 220, has recirculation valve (not pump), has a 2HP main pump, and works pretty good. Mine has lasted 6 seasons so far on the original membrane with no problems. I think (but don't know this!) that Ray is closer to you than to me, but I haven't needed to go there for service, so can't comment on that. It produces just like Ray says it does. And, as far as I know, its more than a few bucks cheaper.
I know there's lots of leader 125s out there now, and it'd be nice to hear how they've worked so far.
take care, Mark

As I stated previously, I have owned one of Ray's units. It worked fine but the piston pump is way too loud in the sugarhouse.

The 125: 0.5GPM at 6% and total flow at 1.75 GPM(permeate + conc)
The 250: 0.5GPM at 8% and total flow at 2.125 GPM (permeate + conc)

They have been good sellers and the value holds. I have been considering one for our rinse water. At the end of the day we end up with a lot of sweetwater that we boil back down to syrup. If you get one, maybe I could lease it from you the rest of the year, Heus?
