Title: best quality resin?
Post by: perfect reflection on April 14, 2008, 07:12:10 pm
just wondered if someone could give me any advice on resin, I use a merlin and the water only down to 35tds so need to use resin but the stuff I have at the moment is not lasting long at all?
thanks

Tulsion should give you around 30,000 litres with TDS at 35 from a 25l bag, if that is an improvement on what you are using. It's on Ebay.

However always check to make sure your di vessel is not faulty as that will have an effect.

thanks for reply, that is loads better than I am getting at the moment. What is the best way to check the vessel? I use a little 10in filter which resin I change.
Thanks

Most common fault is the tube that is attached to the head can go oval in shape due to pressure, this then lets in air and quickly makes your resin spent. It should always be round and a tight fit.

Have had this happen to myself and others that I have advised.

great will check that, does the resin need to be kept in air tight container once bag is open?

The air needs to be squeezed out the bag and sealed tight.
