View Full Version : DI units

MY RO/DI units lie horizontal to the RO unit. However, it appears to me
that the water channels along the top and don't actually pass through
the resin material.
I ordered some more resin to see if I could pack it in there better, but
are there any tricks of the trade. I'm tempted to just mount them
vertically with the water flowing up. I think it would work better.
Anyways, either my TDS is broken or I'm doing 0 ppm on the outflow.
Next time I shut it off I'll have to switch my output/input meters and
see if there is a difference.

The RO usually goes horizontal. The prefilters, and
the DI usually go vertical.

It depends on the unit you may be talking about. Many of the newer ones have
vertical DI housings to help eliminate the channeling effect and also better
contact through the media. My old unit had a horizontal DI canister and my
newer unit has a larger vertical unit that works much better and less
channeling.
See:
http://www.thefilterguys.biz/ro_di_systems.htm
It will show the smaller units with horizontal and the larger units with
vertical canisters. I use the OCEAN REEF + 1 FIVE STAGE 75 GPD RO/DI and
although it costs more it puts out 60-65gpd and still has 0 TDS by unit
meter and handheld meter after 4 mths of use
