Changing DI resin

[DeLaCruz]

Couple questions regarding this:

* When you empty the used resin from DI vessel, how do you remove the excess water effectively without pouring water into the rubbish bag your throwing the resin into ? Feels like i need a 2ft square paper coffee filter ? I end up pouring resin beads all over the garden, which leading me onto my next question...

* I use Tulson MB115 resin, i couldn't find if this was biodegradable in the sellers info - does anyone know anything with regard to these polymer mixed bed resins being good / bad for the enviroment ?

As always thanks in advance for any discussion...

I just tip my vessel and let the water run out until there are resin in the water. Then I unscrew the top and dump the rest.

I dumpet it in a ditch behind my house last time, but the general consensus is to put it with the regular trash.

The MSDS data sheet has this info: Disposal considerations :- : For used / uncontaminated product, the
preferred options include incineration, landfill
etc.

metals or radioactive metals or toxic substances must be

Open up a drain lid cover pour it down that and rinse the vessel out with garden hose job done ????? the water authority have a very good filtration plant that will deal with it ?????
