 Premium grade Virgin mixed bed DI resin   £61.50 exc vat

Dowex and tullcan are the best =Last longer and cost a little more at time so look around. The other with out name a generic products. No always the best.Expires to quickly not good value to you. Bought in buck and packet by the supplier or ealse they would put a name in and were they get it from. I buy Tulcine from Filtration an line.The last time it was 64 95 a 25 kg bag a very good price.

the tulsion resin lasts longer than the rest i think.

doug at daqua give me a few tips with resin, havent tryed it yet.

when the tds starts to creep up a little give the vessel a good shake to open new channels in the resin, or something like that anyway.

have a butchers on the site mate.

hiya there martin & franky guy's ;)
Yeah right about rolling the resin about,i heard that a while ago....
Shuck it a bit,it took the tds back dow just a couple ov ppm,but wasnt long b4 it went back up....might not have shook it enough...it was heavy ;D
Might try rolling it around next time ;)
i had a di bottle in van & 1 in shed where my ibc is,and use to swap used old resin(always in shed) with new stuff,then put slightly used resin out ov van into shed to get full pottential from resin....
Didnt like throwing resin away just because its ppm is above window cleaning standards 8)
Always put used stuff in di in shed until totaly used up.....
But bought another van now & used di from shed to set my new system up in van.....just bought another di from simon funny ya should say that franky http://www.cleanitup.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=88610.0......just waiting for it to arrive then gunna change old stuff but will roll bottle about....c wot happens....let ya know guy's ;)
Thanks for ya help fella's ;)
Take care & Kindest regards
