I have absolutely no idea, the liink doesn't work!!

I do know that the recharging of the resin involves acid and isn't really something you can do in your garage.....unless the info in the link that cannot be accessed says otherwise of course!!!

Confused ???

the link will not work because it has been moderated...WHY??? because where it says "salthingyer" it should read "s a l t w a t e r"
If you type it without the gaps the word "t w a t" appears.

Hi Philip

Sounds ok, however, judging by the size of the tub, you would need to purchase 50 or more, to fill a small DI bottle. I do not think it would be suitable for our industry; otherwise it would be available to us.

As far as I am aware, nobody in the UK can recharge the Resin, this I believe is down to health & safety and the environment. It can be done in the states, but, postage would be too much :-)

I have saved the resin that has been used over the last twelve months for the time when there is a solution to this.

£6k in Resin over two years, you really need to get a RO unit.

easy clean surely any good business is always trying to reduce its overheads? 6k is alot of money which you know and why you have bought an r/o but my concern with r/o is how much water is lost.  fresh water is not an unlimeted resource even in this country and to be so wasteful with it does not feel right. So i am just trying to find evironmentaly friendly alternatives to save money.
