    Thanks for correcting me Maple Flats. Misspoke there I guess. I modified my post so should be correct now.

    I’m trying to figure out why t-ing the permeate lines together would help. It seems like if you just ran each vessels permeate line into the permeate tank that would be the least amount pressure.

    Well I did check and I was wrong on the sap feed location, it does not go to the center as I had thought, but the concentrate does come out of the center on the second post. I am guessing the concentrate from the second post should go to the outside of the third post and will return at a high brix from the center of the third post. Is this correct? If so any guesses what I might see for a concentration.\?

    Just to be clear the post is stainless steel https://www.wateranywhere.com/4-x-40...3-4-1-2-ports/ and I am using brand new membranes from MES.

    I explained it the only way I know. Someone with a background in RO builds please explain how they should be plumbed.
    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.

    sap enters the outside port on all your membranes and concentrarte comes out the opposite end on the outside port. Permeate comes out the center port

    I get it know and do understand what you are saying about plumbing it now. I have a suspicion that the previous owner moved plumbing around for what ever reason, so I will have to re do it. Thanks for the help, if it hadn't asked I would have been very frustrated. Thanks for the help
