Contact MES and see if they offer that size. Whatever you get, you want ones made for maple sap, not just water.
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.
On MES web site looks like the bigger sizes is what they carry. I have found 200 gpd, thru 500 gpd membranes
probably will never have more than 150 gallons of sap going though at a time. Considering that should I go to say 400 gpd or use the lower size 200/300 gpd ?
If you plan on growing your sugaring experience, go with the higher output membrane.
