    First thing people always say is buy the biggest you can afford, but really think about how much sap you intend to process? I bought the rb25 last year and I can't believe the time and wood it saved. I know everyone says it, but dang. Another thing to consider is if you plan on expanding,, then buy bigger from the start. Carl(ro bucket owner) is amazing in response to any and all questions about the product.

    I have the RB20 for my 100+ taps and it is perfect. The directions with it are clear and easy to understand. It is actually easier to use then it appears. You will love it!

    I suggest you contact Carl at Bucket RO and ask all your questions, He won't steer you wrong.
    It's best to plan your needs 5 yrs out, to decide what size to order.
    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.
