One vessel is brand new, I changed it because the resin always looked dry when the cap was removed. I've refreshed again tonight and swopped vessels around.  See how it goes this time.

Dave at 009ppm from RO even crappy resin will last longer than 3 weeks especially on a double DI, there's either high
tds water getting at it or faulty vessels.
how can you say that without know what size vessel  ;)

Try another tds meter. I have two and one reads 1 to 2ppm above the other. They both read zero when the resin is just changed but one goes up to 001 while the other is 000, then later it goes to 001 and the other meter goes to 002.

The difference is small - out of the tap one might read 300 and the other 302.
It's a game of three halves!

I thought my resin was not performing like it did,  then noticed my tap water reading has shot up from 57 to 107. How much does chlorine affect tds readings?

I understand that the water authorities can draw water from different reservoirs and this can impact on the tds water readings.

There's got to be a better resin out there surely? Tulsion just gets worse and worse.

buy it from gardiners dave.its the better tulsion resin.ive been telling you for months and months!its really good mate.a bag is lasting me 4 months now(DI only).

i would never buy from pure freedom again as thats what i used before and then got 3 poor bags in a row.never again. ::)roll


Got my last two bags from purefreedom, and its been really poor. Tds before going through di vessel is 12 but having to change resin every 4 days! its rubbish.

Not sure if chlorine effects tds readings but if you want to put it to the test fill a glass from your tap and check the tds, let it sit
for a few hours and check it again to see if its the same or lower, the chlorine will have evaporated.

It was the same on a different RO with different resin vessel. It's definitely the resin. Brilliant stuff when they brought it out years ago it wiped the floor with all the other resins at the time. Not any more.
Coming out of ro 009 (brilliant) after resin 002 and that's a twin set up.

Just checked again and it's up to 003. They must make it out of sawdust.
009? Just use your RO and ditch the resin and DI at those prices.
