Ok - I hope I didn't screw up my membranes.
I have a RO 10 bucket kit, just got it last year. At the end of the year last year, I did the prescribed wash with the soap that came with the kit, and rinsed very well. Then, I took the membranes out of the housings, put each in a ziplock bag, and put them in my refrigerator. I did not leave them sitting in any solution. There is some condensation on the inside of the ziplocks, so they are still damp, and I did make sure that they did not freeze in the refrigerator. Then I read about people leaving them in solutions in the off season. I did not. Are they ok?
2017 - 20ish taps on buckets, boiling outside in two baking pans

2020 - less taps, short season, but RO kit was fantastic! Gained a maple cat!
2021-24 - expanded into the neighbors yards! 50 taps on buckets and 40 taps on tubing
