DI resin

jphayes921 · 01/18/2018, 09:19 PM

Where is a cheap place to get DI resin? I have high TDS in coming. Only getting a cpl hundred gallons before it's changing color. I don't have chloramines, but have a lot of maganese in the city water. It's softened water prior to the carbon and other filters. Might be a case to add an additional RO membrane. Let me know what you think.

I shopped this a few weeks ago, ended up getting nuclear grade resin at BRS which was the cheapest. It beat ebay prices

But you will be better in the long run to run better upstream filtration vs just going through DI like crazy over and over...
A second RO membrane,etc...

You might want to call Buckeye Hydro and ask for Russ and discuss your issues with him..
They are more than willing to help and can get you whatever you need to help address the issue..

I will give them a buzz and see what would be beneficial. Appreciate the feedback.

What is your tap tds? Mine is over 400 and my tds before the DI is around 4. That gets me over 1000 gals from a DI cartridge. It could be you just need to upgrade your current RO membrane or maybe a booster pump.

If you have prime, Amazon can be a good place to get resin.
