£90 a bag :'(
Brodex is only £80 (inc vat & post!) if you buy it off tinternet (lot more if you ring em). Still not "cheap" but then what is these days. Always decent stuff though. There not as quick on delivery, but I'd rather save the tenner & wait a couple of days ;)

Post by: craig mcneil on March 31, 2009, 11:59:51 am: I'm another fan of Doug's. Great service and fast delivery. Excellent product too - in this case if it's more expensive then it's worth the money.

Post by: DASERVICES on March 31, 2009, 07:46:26 pm: When you buy a product ask what spec it is , how many litres per 100ppm.

Then do the maths price per litre and then you will know what product suits your pocket.

Mixed bed resin comes in many forms from 4000l to 7000l per 100ppm.

You may think you are getting a bargain but end up with a 4000l per 100ppm bag.

And be very careful mixed bed resin comes in two forms, one is for water purification the other will kill all your customers plants.

Now this will confuse a lot of suppliers as they probably have never seen a spec before. ;) ;D

Post by: EZclean on March 31, 2009, 07:57:21 pm: its true then... really? some di'd water will kill the plants! are you having us on doug?
someone mentioned it in a post the other day
Title: Re: resin what ya use and what ya pay n how much per bag
Post by: DASERVICES on March 31, 2009, 08:19:28 pm: The window cleaning trade and water trade use hydrogen fromat resin which will not kill plants.

Now if someone who had no knowledge bought the wrong format of mixed bed resin, sold onto window cleaners then yes there would be problems. Don't quote me on this as cannot find the brochure but the other format is sulphuric which is used in other industries.
