Ionic resin
« on: August 06, 2020, 06:19:55 pm »
Hi Guys
Just a heads up bought some resin from ionic and it has literally lasted me 6 weeks.
My TDS is 67 out the tap,
So be careful if you are buying any from ionic at the moment may be a bad batch.

Buy a 10k system from them safe in the knowledge that it’s going to make you the best window cleaner in the area.
We look at them, they look through them.

that tells us absolutely nothing about the resin . You could have purified 50000 litres . Or 5 litres .

It's anecdotal I know but I've used mb115 for years but couldn't get any recently so bought 3 bags of ionic resin. Used two bags now,  but it isn't as good. Can't tell you in litres but it just doesn't perform as well.

You don’t I think you need to buy an add on heater or complete system to put there livery on your van,years ago I guy near me got a call from them because he had it on his van.
He got his van wrapped and the guy used the download from another guy he’d done previously very naughty,he got a warning to remove it from them. A local bloke had spent 1000s with them for the privilege reported him.

I use roughly 3/4 00 litres  of water a day. 4 days a week = 1600  litres a week.x 6 weeks =9600 litres of water  1 bag of resin tap TDS 67.
Usually I get a least 12 weeks.

may be a bad batch.... I use roughly the same amount of water , and my tds is a little higher than yours . I bought 3 bags before lock down from ionics , and a bag lasts me roughly about 12 weeks .
although i do let my water creep to about 10 before i change it .... I also stir the resin for a few days when the tds starts rising . this gives me a few extra days also.
i dont think any resin is as good as it was years ago

Would it not work out cheaper long term to get a 4040? My 4040 churns our water at 001 , then I put it through resin .
