Sunday, March 15th Sugaring Work

Pat and Don were busy this weekend, putting in the Reverse Osmosis machine in the sugar house, and stringing up some more line in the woods.
Figuring the way through the woods to run the 3/16" line

In order for the line to work without a vacuum pump, the line must go downhill

First the housing for the Reverse Osmosis Machine must be installed

This machine should cut boiling time by more than half.
