Group Buy DI Color Changing Resin

Ok here we go,
This group buy is for DI Color changing resin for your RO/DI systems.
I'm told by AWI that my Typhoon III take about 1lb to refill the cartridge. (Your mileage may vary)

Best price I could find for color changing was AWI.
So here's the deal.

We need to hit at least 40 lbs (or 80 or 120 for that matter).

Cost from AWI

$275.00 = 1 cubic foot of resin (40 lbs)
and $40.00 shipping to my house.

So total cost gross = $315
gross cost per LB 315/40lbs = $7.88 per LB

I will round up cost to $8.25 per LB, to cover Ziploc bags, PayPal fees, time spent, headaches, etc..

The paypal account I have is tied to my business (http://www.jbflops.com) (Bovine Communications and Marketing)
So it will say you've made a payment to Business:Bovine Communications and Marketing

I've made a Paypal button below to use.
This will make this VERY easy to pay for your order.

It will even ask you questions like "How do you plan to pick this up?",
and PLEASE fill out the RC Handle line so I know who to contact on here with your order details.

RULES (PLEASE READ, and don't buy if you can't follow them or you disagree with them!!!)

Once Payment is received I will post here the amount of your order, so we all know how much is left on the order.

Closing day, Last order must be received no later than (March 8th 2007)
If we have an even amount (40, 80, or 120 lbs) and the orders slow or stop before the close date, I may push this closing date up and close the GB early.
IF I decide to close the GB early as described above, I will email all current order holders, AND post on this thread, 3 days in advance of an early close date.

You may back out on your order for a full refund UNTIL the order is placed (March 9th 2007)
UNLESS the GB is closed early as described above, in which case the last cancellation date will be whatever the order date is.

If you do not arange pick up / delivery, before (April 9th 2007) 1 month after the purchase, I will consider your order abandoned and will either resell it or give it away to other club members, and YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND OF ANY KIND FOR ANY REASON.
I don't want to sit on this stuff forever waiting for you. You want it, you paid for it; so make sure you don't go AWOL on me.

I will make every effort to acomodate pick ups at LFSs (CRS and YR)
Exotic and downtown stores, etc. are not local enough for me, and if I must meet you at these places, there will be a charge for gas to drive all the way out there for you.

I must have payment to secure your order. Checks and cash are fine, but you must get them to me somehow.
Paypal is the best, but if you don't want to use this method the other payments are ok.

I don't want the rules to scare anybody off, I just want this to go smooth and painless for all of us. I think these rules will help this move very well.

I am purchasing 7 lbs, so we need another 33lbs sold for this first bag (40 lbs).
 
Good deal. I am in for 10 lbs to kick it off in the right direction.

Thanks for the rules up front and for putting this together, makes it much easier!

BTW - this stuff does not go 'bad' does it?
 
As far as I know it does not go bad, as long as it stays sealed.

Confirmed MrMikeB 10 lbs

23 lbs left on the first bag.
 
Give me 10lbs that I will pick up at the next MARS meeting. I n additoin to what Steve has mentioned, the DI resin does have to be kept in a cool dry place. So don't leave them in your garage during the hot months.

Steve - are these the mixed DI resin (both cations and anions)? Did you check with AWI to see what type of resin we need?

Yes this is mixed Resin
Since RC won't allow the vendor website to be posted here is the quote from the vender...

" This is mixed bed and color changing resin. Both cation and anion resins are combined in ths one bag.
Color changing resin available, color changes as resin is used up."
 
Ok current round up of confirmed orders

Funman1 = 7lbs
MrMikeB = 10 lbs
Mihn = 10 lbs
jlfnjlf = 5 lbs

Remaining to get first bag = 8lbs
 
Thanks for being up-front about costs and what-not. Heck, if you're organizing and it's still cheaper, you deserve the extra!

Thanks for disclosing.

My wife was hysterical after last MARS meeting when I dumped 1lb of acid and picked up 30lb of rock. She figgered I was either an alchemist or the drug king-pin of Nor-Cal...

I'm in for 5lb of resin...
 
To be honest ALOT of that few extra cents goes right to paypal, so there's really not that much extra, trust me.

:)

OK current round up

Funman1 = 7lbs
MrMikeB = 10 lbs
Mihn = 10 lbs
jlfnjlf = 5 lbs
kevin95695 = 5lbs (Pending Payment)

Ive read somewhere that you can only store DI resin for some period of time, or maybe it was on my RO/di instructions manual. Is that correct?

i would be interested in buying some resin if its possible to store them for long period of time.
 
As long as it stays, moist "sealed" and in a dark cool place, it "should" keep for a few years at least.
 
OK current round up

Funman1 = 7lbs
MrMikeB = 10 lbs
Mihn = 10 lbs
jlfnjlf = 5 lbs
kevin95695 = 5lbs
xia = 2lbs
H20Sidhe = 5lbs (Pending Payment)

First Bag SOLD

Remaining to get SECOND bag = 46lbs
 
Correction:
I have no idea why I was thinking the second bag had 50 lbs in it!?!?!

So 36lbs left on the second bag, Sorry for the error.
 
By-the-way... I'm only finding info that these types of resins are 'color changing'... Assumption is that when the resin has adsorbed to it's limit it magically changes color to let you know? Right? If so, from what color to what color? Thanks.
