Whooooaaahhh hold up...
I was just on the Aquariumpros.ca website looking at the refillable canisters and they are $135.99 (w/ drain and purge valves) or $89.99 (w/out drain and purge valves). :shock: Seems to me that even at $90 + $25 for three cartridges worth it's almost cheaper just to buy the DI resins. :? Can you shed some light on this Ryland, before I commit to the purchase?

Andrew,
I believe (but will have to check with Jayson) that the refillable cartridges for 19.99 at SWC are just an easily refillable cartridge - not a housing like on Aquarium Pros. Basically, if you look at any DI catridge at a retail location, imagine the plastic casing it comes in w/o the resin, and that is it (except w/ easy open and close for adding resin). This is what I have seen on the net. So, for anyone who already has a RO/DI system (or other cartridge style filter), the refillable cartridge is a one-time purchase and the resin is cheaper in bulk. Thats it. Jayson, if you are reading this can you confirm? Ryland **As an aside, the housing on Aquarium Pros site looks like any other regular housing with a tube added on the output - I imagine this tube is full of really small holes so as to not allow the resin beads to escape. This would be very easy to make, as the output on any standard housing usually has a lip for tubing to be attached to. Get a piece of PVC, drill some really small holes, and presto - refillable water housing for DI. This would be an alternative for anyone who didn't already have a spare housing as part of their RO system.**

Hi,
That's weird...its $19.99 for each refillable cartridge at SWC -- I am assuming they are the right ones. I'll take two cartridges. While we are on the topic for ordering stuff from SWC, can I tag a cabbose on the order ? I want to get a TDS meter (on sale for $31.25). Oh...if you don't find any more people interested, I can pickup the rest of the slack. I believe this deal is based on a sale price for October, so there is a time limit. - Victor.

The refillable cartridges are like ryland described. They are the same as your regular DI unit they just come apart to add resin. The cartridges will be a one shot purchase. You can use these for carbon as well I have some people using them for aragonite after the DI to buffer the water. I hope this clears up any questions that you may have had. If you have any further questions feel free to email me. Thanks

Steve,
The Resin is on special until the end of the month. Currently, there looks to be seven people interested - including yourself. Victor (ReefBurnaby) wrote in an earlier post that he would be willing to take any extra resin. I would like to place the order next week, and you could arrange to get your portion around the end of the month. Let me know what you want to do... Victor, I am looking at getting one of the TDS meters as well. Ryland

Well if we are only talking $19.99 for the refillable cartridge, then no problem I am still in on this one.
One cartridge + 1 set of refills for me please!  Now that it has been explained, it totally makes sense and was what I was expecting. I just wanted to make sure after getting the "sticker shock" on the AquariumPros web-store. I can see the difference, and a refillable cartridge is all I need. BTW, I picked up a 1 micron sediment filter from Canadian Tire today for $6.99 and a carbon cartridge for $9.99. Less than $20 after taxes, not bad for the two cartridges that get replaced the most (every 4-6 months for me). And they have two-packs of the above cartridges for even greater savings, but I wanted to try these out first before buying a bunch. Anyways, I digress.
