    Default Lapierre Releaser

    I pick up a Lapierre releaser 12X12X18X6 It has the float balls in it, would that take the place of a moisture trap?

    No, the moisture trap goes between the pump and the releaser. Any moisture to get thru the releaser gets stopped before it gets into the vacuum pump, it is to protect the pump.
    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.

    This releaser has 4 - 1" threaded holes for the inlet I will have a 1- 1/4" line coming in My plan is to plug the holes and drill and tap out a 1 - 1/4 hole do you see any problem with this? I have the drill and tap.
