I stopped using Tulsion about 3 years ago because it became so inconsistent! It used to be great to begin with and built a good reputation. However, for whatever reason it all went Pete Tong. Used Unger ever since which has been super consistent.
That's my experience but..... you may wish to check the internal riser tube rubber seal and any internal strainers.

Interesting. I am DI only, and I have noticed that my resin doesnt last as long as it used to .

Tap water TDS can alter on a daily basis so unless you check it regularly if it’s risen this could be why the  resin hasn’t lasted as long and nothing to do with the resin it’s self .

This is true. In my case though, tds was the same and I changed both DI vessels and bought a new TDS meter. It was the resin.

You have a leak or disconnected riser tube which means some of your water isn't going all the way through the resin and mixing with the water that has,  before pushing the riser tube into the resin fill the vessel with water,  this makes it a lot easier to push the riser tube in straight, if its pushed in slightly off centre it can come loose or leak when you tighten the lid.

sorry, I should have said . my tap tds used to be around the 70- 80 mark.
the past few months it has stayed around 50
thats why I believe the resin is of less quality

My water went from 030ppm to 420ppm overnight and has been in the 400’s ever since. That was fun.
