New membranes
While in season I detected no sugar passage in my permeate, I decided about 2 mos. later that some had passed. I save my permeate for filling my sprayer for spraying my blueberries. In years past the permeate has gotten very slightly cloudy after 2-2.5 months, but this year I found a heavy black cloud growing in it as early as May 25. I then decided it was time to buy the membranes others wrote about.
I ordered a pair of MES 4x40 membranes yesterday. Their web site showed them as on back order, but I was surprised to have them delivered today. That is super service for sure, about 27 hrs from placing the order to delivery. I hope they perform as well as others have said. My old membranes were the originals from 2012 (used 9 seasons).
It will be exciting to get familiar with these new MES membranes.
I will save the old ones for emergency use.
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.
