Whilst working away yesterday I had a thought of how to test all the brands of resins out there.

This may settle the old "which resin lasts the longest"

Using an inline water meter to measure how much has passed thru a small 5 litre dumpy di vessel with an inline di vessel on the outlet side of the vessel I could measure several brands back to back ... all recorded for youtube.

The test would end the second the tds hits 001.

The brands I can think of are

Tulson 115 (the one I use)
Ionics
Puralite

Any more please add in a comment.

If run say 3 times a year then this would even out the old "must have been a bad batch"

Comments and thoughts please.

There's a brand called Dowex.
I once bought some in a plainer bag and told it was called "Mitsubishi".  Never was sure if it was a wind-up.

[Ian101]

Dowex ... forgot about that one

Unger

Good Idea I will be interested to see the results! A lot of complaints about resin lately.

All I can say you must have a lot of times on your hands to even bother doing something like that.

ha ha ... far from it ... jobs mental busy .... moving house next week so living in chaos at the moment with s hit everywhere ... then gotta sort new place out for water production ... stressed as house buyer is a nob who keeps messing about ... and lots more on top .........

No problem to do the "roadtest" as a Saturday afternoon will see it done then me and others may have an idea of what resin performs well and what don't ........................

want a job doing give it to a busy guy

[Ian101]

When I do the tests I will have some pure water to give away however any donations gratefully received to cover cost of resins .... hoping to do this when settled into new place so prob mid November 

[Matt.]

Good idea Ian

It's good to see people interested in doing stuff like this to benefit others.

I use tulsion 115 and get it from corwoods ( South Manchester ) never had a bad bag but still good idea and look forward to reading results

I meant donations for the "purchase" of pure water ............ but more than happy to receive any money towards it .... will post the results / video then anyone who wants to chip in that'll be great

yeah that's what spurred me into action plus my mind wanders when cleaning apartment blocks

Why not ask a load of manufactures/suppliers to donate some resin samples for the test or you will be a few quid out of pocket as there are loads of different branded di resin out there including nuclear grade too.

[slap bash]

Its a sign of a true professional when you do things for the betterment of the industry. More of us should think like this. Well done mate. We need to up the industry as a whole. So often I see some poor bugger trying to uplift the industry only to be laught at and belittled by others on this forum. Its a shame that we cannot see the forest for the trees at times. Thanks and well done again.

All the resin we use will come from a factory in China or a similar country, it will just be bagged into different
bags belonging to different suppliers but it will be the same resin.
As with any factory every now and again they will produce something that just isn't up to the usual quality and that will go to what ever company is having their order filled at that time, or use an old factory favourite throw a couple of dodgy bags into each order.
The thing is just because one supplier gets a slightly dodgy batch this time doesn't mean it will be the same the next and
the same goes for a supplier that gets a good batch.
That's why some will say a certain brand of resin is the best they have ever used and others will say its crap.

not doubting you at all as this is something I thought of as well ... after all someone has to make asda / Tesco / morrision own brands beans but do you know this for sure or just suspect it like I do ?

maybe Alex G may know ?
