Mines been brown all year,however,i do have an 11ltr di prior to the Ionics one,which will save you £80 every couple of months. Any higher TDS and i think you'll be pushing your luck.

I just fitted an 11ltr normal di vessel prior to my Ionics blue change and i haven't changed either all year. 006ppm into di's and 000 thereafter,all year.

Keep the Ionics filter where it is on the front of the tank but the hose leading to it you cut in half and put a connector either end and plug it into your 11ltr di(mine is to the right hand side of the tank). Gapswater,amongst others,sell the di's. Connect with Hozelock type fittings or jubilee clips.

The last time i changed it was Christmas,so until my tds rises above 000 then i shant. I use roughly 500ltrs a day. All because the resin changes to brown it doesn't necessarily mean the resin is spent. You have to go by your tds reading and not the resin colour. When my Ionics filter does need changing then i'll buy another 11ltr vessel as it holds more than the Ionics one and is far cheaper option.

Yes,vessels are refillable,unlike the Ionics ones. You don't need to change both at the same time. If you 'search' twin di's then people have explained the two di rotation system far better then i could.
