    Deionization resin recharging w/ 15% sodium hydroxide and 5% hydrochloric acid

    Has anyone tried to recharge or successfully recharged deionization resin? I found this interesting video on how to do it. You need two things you most likely already have: RO/DI water TDS meter. Two dangerous solutions you don't want to leave around children: 5% hydrochloric acid solution...

    Do i need to change my di resin?

    I have a 5 stage rodi system and it's currently letting 8 tds through, super high, I know. But my resin looks unevenly worn. Is there a problem with my system or is this when I would normally need to change it? I thought it should all change color before needing a replacement.

    TDS 1 but drops to 0 over time while in bin?

    So I have a mystery I cannot explain with RODI (BRS unit). My source water is less than or around 300 TDS, and the RO membrane (99% rejection rated dow) takes it down to around 6-8 before going into DI resin. After DI resin it comes down to 1 TDS. The process ate up DI resin fast compared to...

    Anion without cation????

    So I have a local friend that runs cation, then anion, then two mixed bed resins (all color changing). He almost never runs out of cation but does run through anion. Being that I’m using the same city water supply, is there a reason that I can just skip the cation and run two anions instead? I’m...

    RODI Not Putting Out 0 TDS

    I've been struggling with red cyano again; and my corals haven't been happy for about a month. The issue I found is that my RODI membrane is putting our 36 TDS and the DI resin is only polishing it down to 8 TDS. I'm not sure how I missed this. So I've been cleaning out the cyano with water...

    ammonium readings in filtered RO/DI water, advice?

    Hello everyone, I've been having issues with ammonium readings in fresh made ro/di water lately. I'm using this ro setup from BRS and swapped all the canisters last week, however the problem still persisted. So I upgraded the carbon block to this and took another reading again no change. Here is...

    Crazy DI Resin Consumption

    Hi, this is my first post on the site... so I hope I'm doing this right. :/ I set my 100gpd RO unit to fill a 75gal container, changed all the filters (except the membrane itself) because it had been sitting unused for quite some time. I tried to flush the membrane as best as I could before...

    How does an auto flush flow restrictor, booster pump, and pressure switch all work in conjunction?

    I’ve been looking to add all three to my RODI system and have been watching some of BRS’s videos to see how it all goes together, but I’m confused. From what I can tell, the pressure switch from Aquatec can only connect to the booster pump or auto flush flow restrictor, not both at the same...

It’s gone extremely dark...

    DI Resin & Algae ID question
