I finished my first house/job today. After packing up my equipment, I can hear water still inside my DI tank. And I supposed to dump the water out every time I’m finished or leave it in the tank until the next job? Please answer would be greatly appreciated!
I have the same resin vessel filled from brand new. I am not sure how to use it. I attached hose water pipe on one end and a hose spray from the other but there is no water coming out. how long does it take for the water to come out or am i doing something wrong?
@@PedroKarsan There is an input side and an output side. The water has to go through the input side, from the water passes through the resin, fills the tank, pressurizes and the pushes the water up through the riser tube to the output fitting. I don’t believe it’ll work if it goes in the opposite direction. If you have confirmed you are going in the input and still not working, may I ask if you have any kind of shutoff valve installed that may be in the “off” position? Outside of that, I’d put a call in with where you tank for more trouble shooting.
@@WCSkills I put the hose coming from the tap to the vessel where it says “IN” and a shower hose where it says “out” so I think I have that part right at least. When you say the water passes through the resin, fills the tank. pressurizes and pushes the water up. I imagine this would take some time and wouldn’t be that quick? How long would this normally take?
So for starters, filling around 3/4 is a nice balance between being able to close the screw lid but also longevity between changeouts. Volume can improve by allowing the water to pass through at a slower rate(more contact with the resin beads). That said, if you’re low on replacement resin, you can fill it less like half or even a 1/4 and so long as the tank is upright and the water flow is turned down, you can purify the water but less beads available will return less overall output of purified water.
Not for drinking - Can it make the 100 gallons? - For the carpet shampoo business - I understand the resin will need to change more often but what do you think? - Another size tank?@@WCSkills
After opening, reseal bag. Don’t leave it by a heat source (or in a vehicle in the sun). Preferably stored in an air tight container. Can last up to about six months under ideal conditions as described above.

Hi
Is the vessel 7ltr ? it seemed on the picture wasn't a bigger like 11ltr , or more
Watched it on m/b phone , just wanted to be sure.
Thanks
Thanks
Hold a little less than 1/2 cubic ft of resin, so by my calculations, around 11-12 ltr.

You can leave the water inside. No need to drain it.

@@WCSkills I also don’t have any shutoff valve. I was pretty bummed out that it didn’t work as expected
Do you need to fill the whole tank up with the resin, or can you fill it up with less in hopes of less output gallons of purified water?

Would you recommend this tank to fill up once a week 100 gallon fresh water tank? ... Any suggestions? ... Nice video.
No, the DI tank produces non-potable water. Its free of minerals but still not good for you to drink.

This size tank will get you 3-5k Litres before you have to change the resin depending on your water quality
Question. Do you have to put gravel at the bottom ? And do you need free bor space in the tank ?
No gravel required. Just fill with mixed bed resin. Leaving a few inches of space at the top in order to screw in the cap and riser tube.
I'm a friend. I am a window cleaner. How long can you keep a bag of resin for once it has been opened

Great video! Thank you
Thanks for watching. 🙂
