There's got to be a better resin out there surely? Tulsion just gets worse and worse.
-
Where are you buying it from?
-
Tried most brands all very poor .
-
You could go nuclear instead then and see if it's the same with that?
Mind it would be a bit pointless as there is no gizmo to find out if it works or not ;D ;D
-
try ionics you may be impressed

where do you get it ?
i use gardiners if i need any bits at the same time or daqua if i don't & never noticed any difference in quality, im twin di only
-
Always got my Tulsion MB115 from Daqua and it's always been good. Stays on 003 ppm for around 3 or 4 months.
-
i use tulsion but some times i change just to c this time i got unger next bag will probly try that cedelite resin from cleaning spot i find there ant a lot in them now but defo tulsion ant wat it used to be
-
Iv been using unger for a year now with no probs.
TDs of 12 in, I get around 6-8 weeks before it rises to -1.

buy it from gardiners dave.its the better tulsion resin.ive been telling you for months and months!its really good mate.a bag is lasting me 4 months now(DI only).
i would never buy from pure freedom again as thats what i used before and then got 3 poor bags in a row.never again. ::)roll
-
Erm, that's where it comes from. I have a brand new RO, brand new vessel, twin set up and the crap only stays at zero for three weeks max.
-
There's something wrong there Dave and would gamble its nothing to do with your resin,
What level is the RO taking the water down to ?
-
DI vessels can become damaged and there are rubber seals in there that deteriorate over time and need replaced.
-
gardners resin is like £80 a bag tho ant it? u can get unger for £58 as its on speshel
-
It was the same on a different RO with different resin vessel. It's definitely the resin. Brilliant stuff when they brought it out years ago it wiped the floor with all the other resins at the time. Not any more.
Coming out of ro 009 (brilliant) after resin 002 and that's a twin set up.
Just checked again and it's up to 003. They must make it out of sawdust.

Hi Dave
It could be that the chemical composition of your water has changed which is affecting your resin life :(
Or if you are unable to get 000ppm reading from new it may be that your DI vessels are allowing untreated water to mix with the treated water giving a reading of greater than 000ppm. This could be down to your riser tube O rings seals or the riser tube itself becoming fractionally ovoid with age.
The performance of the Tulsion resin we supply has not changed at all since we started selling it. The Tulsion resin we supply is all batch tested (not all Tulsion supplies in the UK are batch tested) for performance and is not allowed through unless it is performing exactly as it should.
-
Alex how long would you expect a D.I. vessel to give guaranteed performance before something starts deteriorating and it doesn’t operate as intended? 5 years?
-
check your tap tds as well dave.mine shot up last month to 052 from 029.currently its at 039 now.
-
surly theres a massive market for a better resin ?? its ok inventing vision , light brushes , lighter poles , yet the most and the biggest repeat seller out of everything we buy is resin !!!! hello supplyers wake up and invent a better one or are they not doing this because its a money spinner for them ?
-
Dave at 009ppm from RO even crappy resin will last longer than 3 weeks especially on a double DI, there's either high
tds water getting at it or faulty vessels.
-
One vessel is brand new, I changed it because the resin always looked dry when the cap was removed. I've refreshed again tonight and swopped vessels around. See how it goes this time.

how can you say that without know what size vessel ;)
-
Try another tds meter. I have two and one reads 1 to 2ppm above the other. They both read zero when the resin is just changed but one goes up to 001 while the other is 000, then later it goes to 001 and the other meter goes to 002.
The difference is small - out of the tap one might read 300 and the other 302.
-
:) I've got three!

:) I've got three!
no you pay for them :D
-
I thought my resin was not performing like it did, then noticed my tap water reading has shot up from 57 to 107. How much does chlorine affect tds readings?

I understand that the water authorities can draw water from different reservoirs and this can impact on the tds water readings.

Dave how much water you producing a week

Got my last two bags from purefreedom, and its been really poor. Tds before going through di vessel is 12 but having to change resin every 4 days! its rubbish.

I had the same! Lasted a week before going up , I don't even use that much water . TDS going in was 3 , stayed 000 for a week . Iv changed to an 11ltr vessel now so should last longer . Got it from vyair

Yeah, my tap tds jumped from 34 to 94... not happy but what can you do!?

Not sure if chlorine effects tds readings but if you want to put it to the test fill a glass from your tap and check the tds, let it sit
for a few hours and check it again to see if its the same or lower, the chlorine will have evaporated.

009? Just use your RO and ditch the resin and DI at those prices.
