30 overnight, but dropped to 28 at sunrise. Sunny and 38 today. Out at 3:00 PM to collect. Picked up 210 gallons, but sugar content down to 1.5 Brix. That’s 57:1.
Ordered a new R/O pump from the manufacture, Lapierre in Swanton, VT. The propellers and other internal parts are stainless steel. Should be better than plastic. Not sure when it arrives, but hoping for Friday. That’s 3 days away.
Also found out the Grundfos pump is prone to burn out the bearings. They can be replaced, but it’s still down time. We don’t need down time with burned out bearings.
Checked the woods at Noon. Dripping. Pressure 9 PSI. Collected at 3:00 PM. 210 gallons, but only 1.5 Brix.
Cook tomorrow. Should be about 10 hours. Back to the farmhouse by 4:15 PM.
