Take a look at the vid I have given in the threat it explains the process It not rocket science my system can process 20 liters at a time. I save up all the spent resin and  do it when its 20 liters. I am not prepared to argue the pros and cons of recycling as its up to each one to decide what he wants but don`t write the process off as it is cost effective and cost me less than 2 quid to recycle 20 liters .  I dont like to shear knowledge on this forum as there are just two many smart asses who would not know a  bargain when they see one.
I don`t want to say too much but I have recycled and sold resin for two years and many have bought it in the past and I have never had a batch returned yet. I have had very feedback.

Hi slap bash thanks for the info. I thought you were only treating 5 litres but as you explain you do 5 at a time in batches. Sounds interesting, even for the pedantic one.

I have made one out of two 25 liter used office water bottles it in the back of my garage. All I need to fit is a hose the rinsing drain is out into the  wash a way  under my lawn. I do use gloves when using it.

I've ordered the caustic soda online, hopefully I've ordered the right stuff.
Now what are you using for the"transmission flush valve"?

What ratios are you using if it's not the same as the vid.

seriously some of you guys must have too much time on your hands!i couldnt be bothered messing about buying dangerous chemicals to save a few quid on resin plus the time  spent re charging it.

i spend around £320 a year on resin(DI only)four 25kg bags.thats just over £6 a week.by the time you ve bought the chemicals and the faffing about how much money are you really saving?

Not everyone has the good fortune to have 30 TDS out of the tap!

First time regenerating 5l of resin
From getting of my arse completing the process getting cleaned up took 3 hours!
I don't know how you can do this in the back of your garage. The acid vapour was chasing me around the garden and trying to hold my breath whilst pouring 5 x the quantity of acid used in the video was proving difficult.
Is it worth it??

[slap bash]

I HAVE A SYSTEM WHICH HAS A LID SO ALL VAPOR GOES OUT IN THE RINSE.

SO HOW DO YOU GET THE ACID INTO YOUR SYSTEM.

[slap bash]

The cos-tic flows out of the plastic tap at the bottom  into a plastic bucket which I the put the lid on the fumes are only active while its working. It sounds like you are mixing your costic to strong  dilute it with pure. I also dilute the acid. My system is made out of a plastic water bottle used in offices. I tip it upside down so the tap fits in the neck of the bottle at the bottom with the normal bottom faces up . I up a wet cloth over the top so I can this put the cut out bottom over the cloth. It does made gas and heat ( just worm)a bit  its right a the garage side door. You need to use your head when doing these things. Check the video I posted and do as the chap  says.

true but if you ve got a high tap tds surely you use an RO and just use resin to "polish" it off down to 000

[Smudger]

I admire you guys for giving it a go, but far too dangerous for my liking, have enough fun throwing hypo and ammonia together 

I agree with Daz if your tds is higher the ro will knock it down, mine goes from low 300's to 5 - make 10k of pure per week, double di and not changed resin in 12 weeks.

I'd rather window clean for those 3 hours with less risk to health and I could buy 2 bags of resin.

That's just my perspective on it, btw happy to save spent resin if anyone wants to collect it

As nobody responded to the question I used the same ratios as the video. Caustic is caustic and there are two strengths of hydrochloric acid, I used the 36% acid.
Now when you pour the acid from its container into whatever receptacle your using the vapour has to go somewhere, so unless I have an extractor setup I wouldn't be opening the container of acid in a confined space.
I've got another 5l to recharge and I'm looking for advice from the people who have experience with this as too the quantity of 1-acid and di water 2-caustic and di water for 5l of resin, and how are you rinsing the resin?

Some things "I" have to try and if it works out that's fine if it doesn't then I'll try and improve the way I done it. The video was for around 1l of resin for his fish tank or something, its not a practical setup for window cleaning usage.
I've got 5l of Gardiners resin @£19.20 sitting in the "cloakroom". I'm sure I can hear it laughing at me!
