SAP HAPPY Maple Syrup Filter Kit — Orlon Cone Filter & 5 Pre Filters for Finishing Maple Sap, ReuAbout this itemCloudy syrup means sugar sand won. When you boil maple sap, dissolved minerals concentrate into gritty sediment called niter (sugar sand) that ruins flavor and texture. This 6-piece orlon cone filter kit uses a two-stage nested system — pre-filters catch the bulk, the heavy-duty synthetic master filter polishes the rest — so you finish with crystal-clear, professional-grade syrup.Complete maple syrup filter set includes one 1-quart heavy-duty synthetic finishing filter, five reusable sap pre-filters, and a step-by-step how-to card. The filters are washable and reusable season after season — just rinse with hot water after each batch. Pre-filters are designed to be stacked and swapped mid-batch when flow slows, so you never wait on a clogged filter.Skip the cheesecloth and cotton — makeshift filters shed fibers and can leach detergent residue into hot syrup. Our synthetic orlon filter is chemically inert and handles screaming-hot syrup without breaking down. Nest several pre-filters inside the master filter, pour while hot, and let gravity do the work. The result: pure maple flavor with zero chemical aftertaste.Works with any standard 10-inch fryer filter holder or cone filter stand (not included) — or simply slide a dowel through the three precut slits and hold over your container. Sized at 1 quart, these maple sap strainer filters fit the finishing stage for backyard batches. Pairs with the Sap Happy tapping kit, spiles, and tubing for a matched sugaring system from tree to table.
