Changing resin...

[Kenny Q]

I double di in the van. My ppm has started to rise, so I've started to change resin. I've just emptied the old resin from the first vessel, and half looks like slush, and half looks unused! Is it possible that this could be unused, or is it fools gold... thanks in advance.

you could try shaking it to see if it gives it a bit more life, but if you keep your resin and store it then you can actually recharge it from what i understand it takes a few hours but well worth it

If your di vessel is working correctly then that resin will be 'spent'.

Mmmm. I've read the process and I think I will stick with the conventional way.

How do you dispose of the chemicals you used to 'recharge' your resin with?

Test some if it that is unused by putting some in a plastic cup and putting a pin ***** on the bottom. Pour some water in and wait until the water is dripping out the hole and measure the ppm. If it reads 000 then you know that your di vessel is not functioning properly. This may due to the riser tube being too short

I'll try that... thanks for your replies.

Cheers for the info accordingly to the gardiner's resin calculator I should be changing every 25weeks just wondering if there is a problem with my DI vessel.

Wouldnt pay any attention to calculators mate...my ppm tap water will change +50 somedays...bugger knows y..the only thing i had with the vessel was the plastic tube insert that fits in the top and the filter cage that gies around it came unglued...so was gettin elevated ppm....i just wrap some insulation in place to stop it slidin bk down the tube
