    Default Deer run 250 membranes

    How long should they last, just pulled out bill, bought 2014, I think they are starting to pass very little sugar. Need to replace. Need help, best re-placements to buy, and where? Any tips on replacements.
    Been a few years as everything was working good so did not use maple trader much. Back looking for help.

    I got mine in 2012, just detected sugar passage last summer and bought new ones. I asked on here which membranes to buy, by far MES was the answer. Thus I bought MES.
    Dave Klish, I recently bought 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.

    I believe that Ray now uses MES in his Deer Run RO's.
