I’ve noticed my resin isn’t lasting half as long since the weather has been so hot. Has anyone else noticed this?

[p1w1]

nope

[AuRavelling79]

Or are you getting through more water?

[mike1986]

No same amount of water. Maybe I’ve had a bad batch

Check your membrane?

[֍Winp®oClean֍]

Is it Tulsion by any chance?

This is what puts me off buying full sacks these days , so many reports of duff resin compared to the old days when Purolite was top of the pops !

[P @ F]

My old man swears by Cedelite these days , mind you thats cos hes too tight to pay a windy , and i was the silly sod who gave him a CLX cast off to do DIY 

[mike1986]

It’s unger. My TDS is around 135, I use and 11ltr di vessel and I’ve literally got about 1000 litres out of the last resin change and it’s now reading 015. I usually get around 2000 litres before having to change

How much water do you use a day Mike ?

[mike1986]

Usually around 600 litres. There’s 2 of us working

[P @ F]

so 6 days work from a bag of resin ?

[P @ F]

have you checked your tap tds lately mate?it could have shot up due to the hot weather(taking water from a different reservoir).it does happen from time to time.

my tap tds is usually 25-30 but has shot up to over a 100 on the odd occasion.....

Does Alex still do the 5L buckets ?
I cant see them on the site , and i wont use a bag up in a long long time .

Does anyone know why Daqua always seem to be out of stock of Tulsion?
I've used them for about 8 years but for the past 8 months or so they always seem to be out of stock (according to their website).
I had to order Purolite last time which was about 25% more expensive than Tulsion.
And I've not been that impressed with it.

No idea rich as I always buy a 25kg bag being DI only

Double DI vessels saves me about an extra 2 weeks of filling compared to one DI.   Making full use of the depleted.   When the read hits 001 I change the oldest vessel and move the 001 canister over to first in line with the new resin last in line.

I changed mine 2 weeks ago and the reading from vessel 1 is 012 now.  So the new resin is not working very hard at the mo.     My tap is about 70 tds though.

I installed a three way tds reader from Gardeners on my last change.

1.  tap tds into vessel one
2.  between the two vessels
3.  out of 2nd vessel tds (going to my tank 000)

I phoned Varitech this morning as they fill your vessels with the right amount and charge you per litre , which for me is ideal as i dont use much .
But they cant get any 115 resin in themselves at the mo ,  i have just had a callback offering me 111 instead that they have recieved this afternoon .
Never had it myself so i think i might hold out a bit .
