Changed out resin yesterday.

Today after running about 20g of RODI, my resin chamber looks like this while running

It may take a while for the air to work its way out, unless you have a purge valve on the canister. Mine did the same, but, it eventually filled up with water.
 
So I just discovered the fix

As it's producing water, slightly unscrew the canister just enough to where its still screwed on securely but to allow the air to escape.

The air escapes and the water level rises.....

Once the DI water starts to trickle over the top, down the canister side, screw it back on tight

Air gone, full DI canister.

Although I've read over and over, that it doesn't matter. I do exactly this. It just looks weird to me to have that air space in there.
