just a little help please
« on: April 25, 2006, 07:35:50 pm »
hi all
 i have just looked at my tds into my water butts and it is 001
the thing is i filled my 1 ltr di 17 days ago i use about 250 ltrs most days not at weekends so about 12 to 14 days of it running dose this sound about  right or is the resin going a little too fast my ro tds going into resin is 2/3ppm the sum i did was  365 days in a year divided by 17 days is 21.47 is 21.47 the number of ltrs of resin i will use a year if so this is not to bad  thanks all   stu
ps would you still fill up your tanks with 001ppm or change it today

Hiya Stu

Its actually only a 700ml cartridge you have there so you are doing fine. Some will work with water at up to around 10 tds from what I know but as soon as my TDS starts to climb above zero I change the resin. You gain very little by letting the TDS climb but you could lose a lot in terms of good results. Another reason I do this is that if there is ever a problem I can immediately rule out water quality issues.
