Resin Refill

[scotty_boy]

evening all my tds has crept up to 2 today from my di. i have a 8l vessel atm and was wondering if i buy a 5l bag of mb-115 and leave some old resin in the bottle still would it be ok? just can afford a 25l bag at the mo.

If you empty out 5l of old and replace with 5l new,then by law of average it will drop ppm

 

[scotty_boy]

thats what im hoping as ppm is only at 2 at the mo. just wanting to make sure before i order some.

 

[OoO]

Shake and stir the old resin up, could get another X amount of weeks out of the resin (taking it back down to 000)

 

[scotty_boy]

will give that a go in the morning also i will have to replace some time soon would i be better replacing the whole 8l or would i get away with the 5l and leave some old resing?

 

[Bingo]

For a couple of quid more, why not buy a 10ltr bag, keep what you don't use in a bucket with a sealed lid......

I pay 77.50 with guaranteed next day delivery,so no it ain't,my opinion,I sure some others may find a squidge cheaper

 

[scotty_boy]

how high do you let your TDS before you change your resin

gd point Ooo giving it a stir

I changed mine today. It was 007, could've left it longer, but won't have time in the week and it'll probably go sky high before next weekend. I find once it gets to 002, it creeps up very quickly. Mine seems to go up a couple of ppm every 500L.

nice one tuffers mine is at 001 after only 5 weeks what do you think is that normal

Depends how much water you're making really mate. Mine will normally need changing between 4 and 6 weeks in an 11L twin di vessel set up. I have soft tap water and make 1250/1750 a week x 4 = 5000/7000L x 6 = 7500/10500 per 11L of resin. I also do not blast the water through. I trickle it through to preserve the resin.

using RO THEN di vessel to polish off 500 l per day

six days per week, using alot off water all my graft at moment is ist cleans

i,m blasting my water full pressure thro my R O
