    Default gas powered small reverse osmosis?

    Does anyone know of a small (hobby size) RO that runs on gas or could run off a portable generator for my remote sugar shack? Thanks

    Ray makes 125 -1000 GPH gas units, and he recently started making one even smaller. Call 440-422-3047 and ask him for details.
    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.

    Is he the one that uses the pressure washer pumps on the ro? That would worry me as being not rated nsf etc could be a prob down the road as we face more regulation
