Title: DI on the IBC.
Post by: Jim Waugh(Albright & Shiny) on January 19, 2014, 11:33:28 am

I RO my water into an IBC in the Garage. this brings it down to 008 to 010 Ppm. my van has a 650L tank and two HUGE DI Vessels .

I have just bought a backpack for awkward access jobs and with my van setup it takes an age to refill as I have to polish it thought the DI using my WFP pump..

To remedy this I will need to use a higher flowing bilge pump from the van tank. But this will be at 008 or 010 Ppm .

Im thinking about taking one of the DI vessels out of the van and fitting it between the RO and the IBC in my garage so that in theory my Onboard tank will always contain 000PPM

any downsides or flaws in my plan?

Thats how we fill.

350L pumped from static tank via DI takes around an hour to fill the van.

We do it like this due to getting free resin, and producing PPB water.

I wouldn't recommend it, its very slow and painful to fill.

Can you make pure water in the IBC? via DI then pump on pure water from the static?

EDIT

Just re read, yeah the way you plan to do it is how most people do it. We pump from static tank VIA a DI

Place your di vessels after the RO and before tank you will then fill with pure and have pure water stored ready to fill van or backpack.  The flow from the RO is not too fast and gives the resin bast chance to polish to zero TDS

If you di between tank and van tank at speed the resin may not reduce to zero due to the speed and volume of water

Don't be a slave to the '000' dictate!

We use water straight from the RO (no DI) up to 15ppm, only after that do we put a DI cylinder between the RO and the IBC.

Never any problems.

There are people on here who say they use up to 20ppm and more without problems.

Ditto


But if your going to use resin you may as well use it to the best of its ability
