High Tds Reading

hi all, i changed myt resin 4 days ago but its reading 17 already, 38 before it goes into the resin when its usually 20. ive been informed its bcos the hot weather is affecting my filters allowing more dirt particles through. is this true and is any1 else having this problem? plus is there any easy way to keep my filters and water system cool as they are all bolted securly in my red hot shed??? any help please guys as i dont wanna use water with tds 15 to 20

What resin are you using mate?

tulison from pure freedom, used it for 2 n half year n never had a problem, usually takes 3 weeks for it to read 10

if tyou turn tap off for any period flush the system for 15 /30 mins before sending through resin,,, also drain the water in resin bottle this will make it last longer,,

Hmm strange that's a good make resin, maybe it is the heat someone will help mate could be the heat on the di vessel getting to the resin .

yup clean the di vessel before you put new resin in that's what I did today /emoticons/smile.png

my di,s are sat in back garden an i have no probs there in direct sunlight all day ive just changed my resin so will keep an eye on tds.

i have 2 reverse osmosis systems at 2 different houses, 1 is reading around 15 after 4 days of changing resin and the other is reading 4. it takes 3 week to get to these readings normally as 1 is higher pressure than the other, so both are getting dirtier sooner so looks like the heat is affecting both of em

im guna leave mine in house then if that the case lol sod that resin cost enouth as it is :Image4:

any ideas on what can go over the water system to keep it cool? as evan puttin it in house will still be warm imo plus its a lot of messin around changin hose lengths etc

Have you got twin DI set up as well

no just 1 DI with 1 resin filter. maybe gettin another would be invaluable.

when you have 2 DI with resin on 1 system is it a waste of resin using 2 DI when the tds reading from the first DI is zero?? may as well fix the 2nd DI up when the tds starts reading around 5 as i cant see the point of water going through a 2nd DI with resin when it already reads zero, that would be a waste of resin??

no m8 if water comes out 1 di at o tds an goes throu second di it wont use an resin up on second di trust me :Image14:

so getting resin wet with water reading 0 does nothing at all to the resin? so the resin only starts to get "used" once the tds starts rising? so its the dirt particles in the water what affect the resin and not water wetting the resin?

ive got a 250 gpd with 1 di - and honestly, until now (before I added an inline di cartridge ) I thought 000 reading doesn't exist lol

I paid for that extra DI cartridge 12 quid

magic : )
