most resin are very good mate in my opinion, but for your question mb400 is better than dowex ..for me....... and for one reason, when its spent, it goes to 003 004 005 ect the dowex goes to 000 to 050 straight away, just shoots straight up...

i can get mb400 for £59.00 plus vat and £5.50 delivery... inbox me for orders

hope that helps

About 65 quid

But there used to be  a place in Bolton that sold it for about 35 quid - 25 ltr bags

They are http://www.desal.co.uk/ I think they jumped on the window cleaning bandwagon when June Reynolds left and started selling to window cleaners, they quickly followed.
Worth giving them a call - very slow if you e-mail them, best phone and arrange collection yourself.

I think you'll find it's the other way round!

Purolite MB400 is recognised by almost every DI user these days as the worst resin you can buy! When spent, it's spent!

Dowex MB50 is very much better than the above

Tulsion MB115 however is better than them both.

This has a bigger impact on twin DI systems, if you're using RO's & not a heavy resin user then it won't make a massive difference to you to be honest.

Nearly 7 years as a DI only user & I have actually tried & tested them against each other over prolonged periods of time. ;)

Tulsion gets my vote too,.. I get nearly 30% more pure from a bag than I did with any other brand.
