This is a community for those who come up with creative ways to make maple syrup. You don't have to be designing and building homemade vacuum or RO systems to participate. Have you done something cool with your buckets and spiles? Tell us! Are you proud of your tubes and buckets? Show us! Have you built your own homemade gravity of pumped vacuum system? Show it off! Do you design, build, or install giant, gleaming, stainless steel maple syrup production systems? Tell us all about it! If you don't make maple syrup but love it on your pancakes of johnnycake and want to ask question, ask away. The people posting here love to talk about making and eating maple syrup.

In 2020 I a hand and I built this insulated box so hold the vacuum pump, RO pumps, vacuum releaser, and RO. This prevented them from freezing overnight and eliminated the necessity to carry them in every night and back out every morning. The vacuum releaser is the two white circles on the right. The little heater bottom right stayed on overnight.

The only problem with this system was that my main storage, a 1,000 L IBC, was outside and the plumbing and valves froze up. It was a big improvement but it left a lot of room for improvement.
