IONPLUS MB-30 Mixed Bed DI Resin (1 Cubic Foot) anybody use this?

[TomToro]

I saw this on the net for $149 including shipping for a cubic foot or about 50lbs. That's about $15 a 5lb bag compared to $50 a 5lb bag I was paying.

Anybody use this with their systems?

Reef quality resins are expensive for a reason. Theer are literally thousands of resins and blends on the market and the major RO/DI vendors have found what works for our hobby. Most sell only nuclear or semiconductor grade resins and they are the most expensive because they work the best and last the longest. Its not worth skimping on DI trust me. My DI life went from 150 gallons per refill to over 1000 gallons per refill when I switched to Spectrapure products. Thats a major cost savings right there and they more than pay for themselves.

You don't want to buy a cubic foot unless you can use it in 6 months or it will degrade.
