Using the CDL Reverse Osmosis

This is just a quick run down and video on how to use the CDL Reverse Osmosis and how I used it as a hobbyist.

Since I don’t filter my sap when I pour it into my containers (speeds up the process, especially if you have bits of frozen sap), I added an extra filter bag to my intake line.
