Mine is on a rolling frame and I have nothing hard plumbed. The first year it had a gas engine, so I had to roll it outdoors. By year 3 I converted it to electric, but it still gets rolled from my RO closet to next to my man door to the sugarhouse. I still use 1" PVC hoses to feed it, 3/4" braid reinforced hose for concentrate and potable water hose for the permeate. I do have 3 sap tanks side by side that feed the supply hose, they, are all on 1.5" spiroflex hose and manifolded to them is a 1" recirculation hose from my head tank and a 1" permeate hose from my permeate tank. That way I can switch from any source to another just by closing one valve as I open another. All 3 tanks for sap each have a valve too so I control which is supplying the sap. That sap hose has heat tape on it, in pipe insulation. It only gets plugged in when needed. I never saw a need to change.
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.
