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.
Doubling your throughput...not bad.
You realized now you need to tap more trees...
Yes but the one from Lapierre has the recirc pump on the bottom of the tower and it's a bolt on that is the same as the one that I've already got. No Mickey Mousing to make it work. When my upgrade and repairs are done my RO will be the 250 Turbo that it was originally manufactured as.

I went up to Swanton today and picked up the parts to fix and upgrade my RO. I thought that I had made a mistake by not turning my vacuum pump on before I headed north this morning. The sun was out up there and it was 37* when I left Swanton. I got home to a temperature of 32* at 2:30 this afternoon. I didn't miss anything! I was surprised by the lack of snow up there. They have less than we do here in Loudon.

Yeah Russell that Champlain valley gets snow but it never seems to hold onto it. I have family just a half hour east of Swanton and they rarely have much for snow cover.

This morning I rebuilt the original recirculator pump on my RO then after I got that done I installed the new membrane tower that I bought for it too. The original plug for my membrane won't fit into the new MES membrane so I have to get one of those but I was able to install one membrane and everything else is connected and plumbed.

The sap decided to run a little today and this afternoon I went out to check for leaks. I did find and fix a couple but the trees in the colder areas weren't running which made leak checking difficult. The last time that I checked I had a 200 gallon block of ice and about 50 gallons of sap on the tank.

Nice!!
Just need sap...
Someday...
Russ - Not sure I've got my head around this move. You added a 2nd membrane and a 2nd recirc pump and plumbed them to operate in a series or parallel? As you know, I two pass with a sweet tank and a head tank but set the RO to whatever expels the permeate at the fastest flow. Bruce
