Di resin?

[ade]

Ok I know that there is more that one person in the NRVRC that uses DI resin. If all you need is a small amount then chime in and we can work something out. Cheep dosen't come around too many times is this hobby, and I think that this is a great deal, if not then please let me know.

Thanks for all the information Russ. My proportional calculations were about right regarding the number of fills, just the accuracy was off on how much in each cartridge and number of lbs in a cubic foot (by about a factor of 2 on both).

I have found that, in my particular application, the performance of the resin has not decreased *significantly* after storing for about 12-15 months. Of course, it has probably lost some effectiveness, but I have not been able to measure it (my time interval between changes has remained about constant).

(Along the lines as manderx) its Seems like I remember someone at Buckeye field supply telling me the color changing resin wasn't as good.. it is the same resin, but a lesser amount of the part that "works" because the part that chages color has to replace the "working" part..

You're experience isn't unheard of, and I'm glad that was your experience. The recommendation I gave was conservative.

Hmm - We've nearly always carried the identical resin, other than the color indicator.

exactly, the color changing dye uses up some of the capacity. and since you really need to use a TDS meter to monitor it anyway regardless of which type you use, there's no point to getting the color changing where some of it is already used up.

Due to the lack of interest in a bulk buy. I am just going to order enough resin for myself.
Maybe next time.
