Question 1

How is the unit recharged, do I need to buy a resin module or a bag of resin pellets?  Can my old resin be recharged by soaking in a salt solution?

Accepted Answer

Because this unit is a mixed bed demineralizer, not a water softener, the mfg does not use salt to regenerate the resin beads.  There are two different kinds of beads in the tank which are regenerated using powerful acids.  You cannot do it.  You must buy a new bag of mixed pellets, dump the old in the trash, and dump the new in.  The On the go company has on their website, different sizes of bags and boxes up to 50 lbs to replenish the unit.  The 50 lb box is way cheaper per filling if you are going to use the tank a lot.

Question 2

How many gallons do you think can come out of this before replacing resin? Or how many car full car washes. Thank you in advance! :-)

Accepted Answer

If you can tell me the TDS of your water source I can answer that question. Where I live the TDS is around 100 ppm and that unit will make around 560 gallons. If you live in an area with a TDS of 300 ppm it will make around 190 gallons. I would not want to give you incorrect information. We find the average to be around 250 ppm and this unit will make around 225 gallons. If you know how many gallons you use per car you could go off that.

Question 3

How is using this unit better than using a water softener?

Accepted Answer

Water softeners produce high quality soft water, and they remove harmful minerals like calcium, magnesium, lime, and iron that make water hard. By removing these minerals, buildup in pipes, on fixtures, and in your RV water heater is eliminated. Removing these minerals also improves the taste of your water, and helps eliminate odors. However, there are still some remaining minerals in your water, as water softeners do not remove all the dissolved solids from water; some of our customers use the water softener for washing because it can reduce spotting, but it will not be spot free.  Finally, a softener uses simple table salt to regenerate the resin.
 
Deionizer (DI) systems remove all the dissolved solids and produce laboratory-grade water for a spot free rinse.  The process takes out all of the solids in the water, so there is no nutritional value and the water will have a different taste and smell. DI water is also more expensive than regular water. Our deionizers use new, virgin resin and we only sell new, virgin resin. This resin cannot be regenerated like our water softeners. The total dissolved solids (TDS) and model determine around how many gallons of water your DI can produce. DI water is used in the process of making whiskey, tooling, laboratory testing, manufacturing, car/solar panel washing, and food safety testing, to name a few, as these applications need more than a simple

Question 4

What is the dry resin weight for a refill?

Accepted Answer

I have the 22 x 6 in. tank size ....replacement resin comes in a 10 lb. bag for that size.
