Sep 10, 2013 #1 T timbeam Well-known member Messages 209 Just a quick question. What sort of flow rate would you expect through twin DIs? It takes me about 7 minutes to fill a 25l container. Does that sound about right? I was expecting quicker. Cheers!

Sep 10, 2013 #3 Tuffers Well-known member Messages 10,918 Location \_( ' ; ' )_/ That's pretty quick tbh. When I used to fill 25L containers they took about 12 minutes, but the tap was flowing slow to preserve the resin. BTW my TDS has jumped from 003 yesterday to 010 tonight. So it's time to change the resin. Always check your water purity.

Sep 11, 2013 #5 Smurf Well-known member Messages 20,533 All depends on the tap tds - the higher the tds & flow rate the more resin you will get through. Simples...
