Indeed, but only if you're happy to spend more on resin. ;)

i do di(used resin) - Tank - Pump - Di (fresh resin) - Hose

i save money this way as i dont discard fresh resin when it start getting past 003ppm instead it goes to pre tank to bring the tank tds down

Flow Rate Vs volume is a major factor in increased resin life. Blasting water through your resin at full mains pressure will shorten it's "effective" life - especially the used resin vessel! Water pumped through the vessels has a much better "effective" life due to the much lower flow rate resulting in the resin holding a low tds for much longer- Essential in a twin DI system!!!!

If you put the vessels in sequence after the pump you'll notice a much improved resin life.

Why?

Why not just have the vessels on the van & fill your tank in 10 mins direct from tap?

you just answered it in your previous post, flow rate is a major factor in increased resin life . and my flow rate going through the resin is slower than what comes through the brush . so i get as much life out of my resin as possible .  ;) my outside tap is set at this rate all the time ,  ;)

That doesn't answer my question Barry?

Why spend 7 hours filling a tank when it could be done in 10/15 mins by filling it with tap water & purifying on demand?  This way you could also fill up at any location.

im not spending any time filling my tank . i park up hook the hose up and leave it , the van never has to move until i go to work , i have a car . i suppose theres not much in it which way you do it , its just down to what we are all used to . i think we should both agree to disagree ;D
