Does anyone recharge DI resin ?

[David Grigor]

Last summer I purchased some Bulk DI resins becuase of the low cost of the resins, I don't have any interest in recharging resins anymore.

If anyone still does it, I have 9-12 exhausted cartridges (
tap-water purifier ) you can have them. I can bring them to a meeting or you can come pick them up.

Hate to just throw them away if someone could use them.

HI Dave, bring them to Karen's, I will add it to my pile of resin and some day ..........get around to it

I did not know you could recharge mixed bed resins. How is it done?

[David Grigor]

Use Muraitic Acid and lye to recharge. Can get messy you need chemical resistant gloves and don't breathe it in. Best to do it outside.......

It isn't too bad one you get a system going but the first few times can be a bit messy.

Now that Bulk resin available and not spending $28 a cartridge is just wasn't worth the hazzle any more.

Here is the long version article. Others have simplified the steps but need to read the long version first to fully understand:

Dirk - you snuck out before I could give you the box full of resin. Do you want me to hold onto another month or just throw it out.......

I forgot too, can you bring it to gregs next month?? How about coming down and checking out the NEW corals?????

I may do that once I figure out my 2002 Income Tax.

Holding out for the buy one get one free sale
