We recommend that you purchase a small shop vac that is dedicated to use with this filter press only.
Being that we don’t know what size shop vac/shop vac hose you will be using, we don’t include the fitting that goes from your shop vac to the filter press so you will need to get the correct fitting.
Normally you wouldn’t need to use filter aid in the Vacuum Filter Press (Diatomaceous earth also known as diatomite celite) but some years the syrup has minerals that are hard to filter so we would recommend using filter aid to help filter through the 9″ filter press.
You could try 1 cup of filter aid per 8 gallons of syrup…and try more if still filtering hard. Using filter aid is not a true science so you may have to experiment with the filter aid to see what works best for you. Each year it could be different.
The filter aid will not create any taste difference.
