thank you, my dad and i have been maple sugaring for 10 years and tap on average 125 trees a year. looking into RO systems this year as it is getting harder to keep up with boiling each consecutive year as the kids grow and get into more activities. Appreciate it!
I just expanded it from the original diy plans I started with. It's pretty simple, just a lot of different components to plug together. Here's what I started with:

It's will save you so much time and firewood. It's just a little fragile and can take some fiddling.
First batch with the RO system, something magical about cutting the boiling time in half. Love this time of year.
Nice boiler! It's only a matter of time until I end up with something similar. I'm already done sugaring for this season. Need to move on to other projects. It was the earliest run I've experienced so far in the several years I've been doing it. Glad the RO system is working out! Take good care of the filters and it will make the whole operation much more efficient and profitable.
