    This is what I do:
    1. Do a 5 minute rinse.
    2. Do soap wash.
    3. Do a 10 minute rinse.
    4. Change pre-filter.
    5. Run R.O. - concentrate.
    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.

    Default Preservative rinse

    Just so I’m clear... after I change the prefilter I then rinse with the remaining 200 gals of soft water... I will then be ready to run fresh sap through the RO

    I would put a fresh pre-filter in just before concentrating.
