Title: Is this the right resin??
Post by: PurefectWindowCleaning on May 26, 2012, 04:31:20 pm
My DI is 11ltrs
Also, when I refill the vessel, how much do I put in? (11ltrs I guess  ;D)

Ive never done this before, only watched Wagga video on youtube ;D

Just give them a ring mate to double check but looks the job.
You just empty old stuff out into bin then refill it all the way to top and then lift it up bang it on floor will go down a bit then.Then bung the tube with lid in,i push mine down and turn it at same time when it gets to the thread bit turn it anticlockwise till it gets the grip of the thread and then tighten it up.Its really easy mate i searched it on youtube my 1st time and coppied it.
Another good tip is to get a funnel like you would use on drain from bathroom sink (bit at top) and place that in top off vessell  and tip bag into that ,its much quicker.

Goodluck

Don't fill it right to the top, add some water and make sure the threads get washed over then gently push the riser tube back in, screw the lid back on and note the inlet and outlet arrows on the top.
Good resin too. I normally use this company   http://www.daqua.co.uk/

Ive never added water to mine untill i plug it back in to go,no harm to wash thread before screwing it in or just get a paint brush and brush around thread. :)

James don't use tap water because the tds is high use what pure you have risen the vessel lid before screwing it down as resin sticks to the threads ;)

Water will help the riser tube to go in, tap water will use up some of the resin (depending on the TDS of the tap water) pure water will have no effect on the resi as it is pure already.  ;)

Spot on. ;)

After filling 2 x 11ltr DI vessels on a regular basis for over 8 years- put water in before you re-insert the riser tube. In reality, it makes no odds whatsoever whether you use pure or tap- apart from what Paul stated above.

Fill with resin up to the shoulder of the vessel (where the side walls start to turn in at the top). Give it a little knock on the ground to settle/compact the resin then add a tad more if necessary. Then add water to the vessel to just below the threads in the neck. Gently re-insert the riser tube/head assembly taking GREAT CARE not to cross thread the head unit. This last task is now MUCH easier due to the resin being suspended in the water that you added!!!!!!! ;) ;) ;)
