Recharge di resin

[rhody605]

The lye solution is basic. And the muriatic acid is of course acidic. They will neutralize when mixed together. When cleaning up mix everything together.

Me personally I like to tinker with things. So when I see something that can easily be done at home and prevent more stuff going to the landfill and safe some money too. I'm willing to try it. My tds out of the tap is around 230. So I'm using about a pound of resin per 2 months or so.

So you'd rather dump chemical waste down your drain instead of sending 1lb of beads to the landfill? Even if the chemical reaction is balanced enough that you wind up with a pH neutral solution it is still chemical waste. Sorry man, your logic isn't clear there...

Do as you please but in terms of safety, expense, waste etc. they just don't add up.
