Title: who has thought about re-generating there resin
Post by: jouk45 on July 14, 2006, 10:33:19 pm: just a thought, sure i have read it here before about someone trying to regenerate their resin, first is it worth it, what equipment and method do you need to carry out the regeneration of old resin

Don't really think it would be worth it for me as I only use a sack a year.

I reckon the boys who go through s**t loads of it would benefit from re-gen!

Post by: Londoner on July 15, 2006, 06:45:09 am: Its not so much about re generating the resin. Its more about getting the last little bit of work out of the old resin.

When water passes through the resin it follows a path so only part of the resin becomes exhausted. Much of the resin is still OK although the TDS is starting to rise.

Take out the old resin and put it in something where water passes slowly through it and it will still work for a while.
