Burning through DI resin quickly

[rhitee93]

Update: I've made about 45 gallons of RO/DI water with the additional cation/anion beds in place. You can see in the pic that there is some consumption of the anion bed , but virtually no change to the cation or either of the mixed bed cartridges. This is a much happier situation for me

Assuming the consumption is "linear" it looks like I can make well over 200 gallons of water on a $15 change in resin.

I still don't know if it is dissolved CO2, or chloramines that are making it through to the resin, but at this point I'm calling it good enough.

ammonia would be hitting your cation resin.
co2 hits your anion resin

Thanks Russ. That would mean if I start seeing the cation getting used up quickly that my carbon blocks are giving out.
