ro recommendations?

I spoke to a rep from CDL about their 250 gph 2 post, and he said that the pump will heat up the permeate after a few minutes of running it and will heat it up to the appropriate temp for washing. he said if i wanted the cleaning process to go a little quicker, i could heat up the permeate before it goes through but it's not necessary. hopefully he's not filling me full of b.s.. He was very helpful and seemed knowledgeable so i'm guessing he knows his stuff. they're a bit pricey, but it'll last me a very long time and the time savings is very appealing. i did reach out to LaPierre a few times as i've heard good things about their R.O's... but and can't seem to get a call back or email returned. not too impressed with that.

CDL used to make a 250 turbo with their own 4" posts. I have one. Just like a 600 with a 3 HP turbo instead of 5 HP. All the other bells and whistles and the same cabinet as a 600 that is fully expandable to whatever you want. So, just make sure he wasn't referring to one of those instead of the new 250 Hobby RO's. They are 2 very different machines.

Their new 350 RO with a single 8" post essentially replaced those. That may also be worth looking into as well if you can get enough sap to clean it. That is more like the big boy RO's at a price point between the hobby and big boys. I never did get a quote because I found the turbo 250 for sale and bought that one. Up until I found that one, I was looking at the Lapierre Turbo 250's. CDL is just closer to me and I have had very good customer service in Maine and in my discussion with them in St. Albans about the RO I purcahsed.
