Has anyone who replied to this thread actually taken time to read the OP’s question before going on rants about you should only by from a Maple Dealer? The OP asked if anyone had bought Chinese membranes and how they worked. He also stated in post #8 that he only has 35 taps. Very unlikely he is going to be buying a Maple equipment RO. There are lots of threads on Maple Trader on people making home built RO’s very successfully. For his quantity of taps, a small home built RO would be the way to go and not be in any danger of hurting sales of a Maple Equipment supplier.
