Resin advertised above!
« on: October 21, 2012, 08:43:21 am »
Hi
TDS up to 002 yesterday changed the resin 3 months ago in a 14ltr vessel and used half a 25ltr bag.
I use two DI vessels, I am going to change the resin today and was going to order some more advertised above.
* BEST UK Price For Tulsion MB-115 Resin *
The price looks good I paid £80 for the last lot.
But I've heard about resin going "off".
As it will probably be at least 3 months before I have to change again will it keep?

Cheers M8
Just changed over today. 1 bag does two fills. 
I am DI only and I picked up 140 houses trad converted to WFP and my own work in the last 3 months so I've done a lot of 1st cleans, in fact nearly all 1st cleans in the last 3 months.
So I reckon it's not bad costwise half a bag in 3 months at £30 about £2.50 a week.
TDS out of the tap about 90.

Just get rid of as much air and zip tie it up. Will be fine
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

it comes in two bags.  Reseal both, then keep it in the dark in a cardboard box.  I'm not sure about that last bit being necessary but it's free, so do it anyway.

Yes keep it air tight.  I stored some in a plastic tub and didn't shut the lid properly. Had to chuck it away in the end as was giving a reading of about 15.  :(

thanks
did notice that the resin at the bottom of the bag was really soggy! The bag was closed but not airtight and been there for 3 months or so.
I've ordered some more just in case.
