Silicate Removal Media for DI Filter?

[CMO]

Anyone know what silicate removal media is used in these filters? I'd like to just buy it in bulk to pack my own filters but can't seem to find it. Thanks

My guess that it’s just a color changing Di resin which can be bought at BRS

The top media yes, but the clear beads on the bottom which are the silicate removal media are different I believe.

Yeah, but I still have reasonably hi silicon in my RODI water with the regular mixed bed media. Still getting more diatoms than I'd like so going to give this a try.

Another good video I hadn't seen. I'll look into adding another DI canister, that makes good sense. Thank you.
