DI resin reusable?

Gools · 01/13/2010, 12:41 PM

I remember reading a long time ago that they can recharged, so they can be used, is that right? I have a lot of them before I chuck them can I resue them? Thanks

Never considered it. Resin is cheap and while interesting, that looks like a serious PITA.

Great, Thanks for the link
Resin is cheap, but in my area it has to be ordered in, and the weight charges start to add up, also gives me something new to do.

Going to buy Muriatic acid and lye together might not be a great idea, that is what is used in manufacturing meth. Not illegal, but will raise some eyebrows.

Already looks like I have a grow opp in my basement at night, when my basement windows give off more light then the street light

I know the feeling! I live in a townhouse and whenever I see my house from the outside at night when the halides are on I think to myself "the entire neighborhood must think I have a serious grow operation going here."
