Common questions

What does DI resin do?

The mixed-bed resin is used to reduce dissolved ionic contaminants and total dissolved solids.

Is a particular purity or zero-TDS result guaranteed?

No. Required water quality depends on the complete system, incoming water and application. Verify the output against the requirements of the process.

What sizes are offered?

The current variants are 2-7/8 by 9-3/4 inches, 2-7/8 by 20 inches, 4-5/8 by 9-3/4 inches and 4-5/8 by 20 inches.

How do I choose the service flow and replacement schedule?

Confirm the permitted flow and required output water quality for your exact system and cartridge. Service life depends on the incoming water, use and application requirements.
