This pump would work fine, it's much like the one I use except mine says max temp 200F, I run up to 210F thru it, with no issues. However, this one is rated for 225F, even better.

Suggestion, if possible keep the compressor remotly located. I used mine 1 season in the sugarhouse, after that I ran a trench for electric and air to my shop at about 80' from the sugarhouse. I then placed the compressor in the shop, and using the 3/4" air line between the shop and the sugarhouse, I ran it that way, now no compressor noise. Since my shop power runs from the sugarhouse (I have a 200A panel there, and I send 100A to the shop), way better. I can turn the shop power on and off at the sugarhouse panel, thus I just leave the compressor turned on, and run it from the sugarhouse. In the sugarhouse, just before the air line goes into the diaphragm pump I have a ball valve and a pressure regulator, giving me complete control. From the low point in the trench, I attached a drain line, out the bottom of the 3/4" mainline. That way, I just open a valve on the side of the sugarhouse to blead out moisture.

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.
I run the same Warren pump as Dave on my 10 inch press. They were about $400 when I got mine. Now they are about $750. My next one will be this pump. https://www.toolots.com/1-2-stainles...Made+in+Taiwan

950 taps
3 X 12 Thor pans on a Brian Arch
CDL 600 expandable
The" taiwan" pump specs show 3 different diaphragm materials, there doesn't seem to be a way to select a material,
What material diaphragm should I be looking for?

I wouldn't use it. You should be looking for one with a minimum temp. rating of 200 degrees or more.
First introduced to making maple syrup in 1969
Making syrup every year since 1979
3 x 10 oil fired
Revolution syrup and max flue pan
Almost 1300 taps total with 900 on high vacuum
Bought first Marcland drawoff in 1997, still going strong.
I'm also looking at the" happybuy" pump

In the specs I see "drink" but no mention of max temperature. I'd shy away unless it's rated at 200+F, and it leeds me to think it was speced by someone who doesn't really know english. In this country we don't normally say it's good for drink, but potable water or FDA approved. Buyer beware!Originally Posted by bmbmkr

It was futher down in the description, the max. temp. is 150*.
2004 - 2012 2x3 flat pan 25 to 60 taps
2012 2x3 new divided pan w/draw off 55 taps
2018 - didn't boil surgery - bought new evaporator
2019 new SML 2x4 raised flue high output evap. 65 taps
made 17 gal. syrup
2020 - only put out 53 taps - made 16.25 ga.l syrup
2021 - Didn't work out
2022 - 25 taps on bags / 8 taps on 3/16's line - late start
Don't... that's a cheap knock-off...As always, you will get what you pay for.
