Water Flow Speed Through Di Vessel?

[Tuffers]

Got to change the resin for the first time. I trickled the water through at the pace of a long slash for the first lot of resin. How fast can you flow the tap and preserve the resin. My mate says the slower the better.

If you have a 10 litre and above then normal tap pressure will be okay. Once the ppm creeps up then slow the flow rate to allow more contact time with the resin.

Anything lower and you have high input ppm you may have to slow the flow rate down to get 000ppm.

Volume vs flow rate vs input ppm is key

Hope this helps

How do those new more efficent di tanks work compared to the old ones doug?

 

[doug atkinson]

I've seen them Smurf but don't think their value for the money charged. They claim to have a better distribution of water through the di vessel which it probably does have but you can have the same effect by shaking your vessel and slowing the flow rate.

Cheers Doug, mines an 11 litre Spectrum.

I allwats run mine slow. I fill it up at nigh so there never a rush to get it filled. I did forget about it last week though, I only needed 3/4 of a tank. Time I realised it was what I done I ran out and thankfully it was juts about full lol

I never thought this would effect anything! Tho my do is in the van so guess its going through slow as my pump usually set approx 50

I've never had the need to use a di tank in a van as use a static system so just transfer pure to the van tank. Simples....

 

[Posh]

Always do mine slow

Ta doug,...I thought it was all hype just to warrant the extra dosh somehow.
