    Genius setup. That will save a ton of time.

    Cool! Always nice to see folks experiment with different methods to evaluate and learn for themselves if it will be an improvement for them.

    I was driving the other day wondering why we hadn’t seen any maple syrup content. Does anyone one else use a similar way to remove water? Great video.

      Yes lots of makers use RO on a much larger scale. That way is about the lowest scale you can do it.

    Been watching for years, but this got me to click quick. Love this kind of content. Science homesteading with cool tech is the future. Keep it up 👍

    Does the 'pure water' have any maple taste at all? If so, maybe try it to make coffee or tea, or just to fill water bottles.

      It is just pure water with no minerals or sugar, no taste really

    i thought you were filtering the waste hose into the same bucket lol.. just a test tho

    Welcome to the RO club. You may want to look into a brass needle valve that you can better adjust the pressure on your concentrate line, this will lower concentrate flow and increase permeate discharge. I have a link for what I use in my last Maple Syrup video on my channel. Very nice system

    Would be interesting to test some of the pure water to make sure it's really getting everything. Maybe boil down a bit of it and see? Or just taste it?

      Same thing I thought.

      Or hydrometer, if you have one.

    • @TheSmagzilla
      @TheSmagzilla 6 місяців тому

      Any ro veteran tests their permeate for sugar. It's always 0

    Thanks for the whole process being shown and explaining! Ive heard about it but nobody has done a video like this! Saved to favorites to build for next year!
    And appreciate and needed that Bible verse at the end! Creat in me a clean heart of God! Renew a right spirit wothin me!
    God bless!😅

    A couple of suggestions to improve RO efficiency you really should do ASAP:
    1. input PSI is critical. 45psi is at the low end. The inexpensive "home RO" membranes are most happy in the 70-80psi range, which means most efficient water extraction (permeate) from the concentrate.
    2. The concentrate line needs appropriate restriction to maintain pressure at the RO membrane. An open concentrate line (no restriction) is used to flush the filter and should be done periodically during operation and finally at the end. This produces minimal permeate. For normal operation use a fixed restrictor sized for the membrane (i.e. 75 gallon per day), or perhaps a needle valve to tune the restriction. I think a fixed is probably good enough, and avoids the risk of closing off the concentrate entirely and perhaps damaging the membrane with too much pressure. (A bypass valve around the restriction can be used to flush -- open to flush, closed to force the concentrate thru the restrictor for normal operation.)
    Finally, if this is something you want to do long-term, add a second RO membrane. Input -> membrane1 (permeate to drain) concentrate -> membrane2 (permeate to drain) concentrate -> restrictor -> collection. This will nearly double the water taken off each pass thru the system. But you MUST have higher input pressure! 45psi is not enough for "staged concentrate."

      I go 120-140 on mine and have used it for years

  • @TheSmagzilla

    What was your pressure? I don't think Shurflo gets high enough. Sure it woRks but aquatec 8852 pump gets mine to 140 psi which removes permeate faster. Also if you want it mobile just use flex tubing for everything and toss in a milkcrate instead of a heavy pallet. If sugar shack is heated, mount to the wall or whatever then.
