Virgin Mixed Bed DI Resin Facts

Tucker supplies only virgin mixed bed DI resin, sold in 1 ft³ and 1/2 ft³ resealable buckets for refilling cartridges and tanks. A fresh DI stage should read 0 ppm TDS, and the reading climbs slowly as the resin is used up.

Spotting on glass starts once output rises above 10 ppm, so a TDS meter tells you when to refill. Keep resin sealed: dried-out resin stops making pure water.

Bulk Resin in a Resealable Bucket

Bulk Resin in a Resealable Bucket

Bulk resin ships in a resealable, reusable bucket with a liner, not a bag that is hard to close. Tucker gives it a shelf life of typically 6 months, depending on storage.

Refill only what you need and reseal the rest. When you fill a cartridge, pack the bed tightly so no air gaps let water slip past the resin.

Empty Cartridges You Fill Yourself

Empty Cartridges You Fill Yourself

Tucker's refillable cartridges come empty in 4" x 21", 4" x 30" and 4" x 40" sizes, plus a 20" filter for the Max Output and a 4.5" x 10" for the mobile RO/DI cart and Fill N Go. The 4" x 30" holds 1/5 ft³ of resin.

Filling your own from bulk resin lowers your filter cost. Tucker's funnel makes it easier to pour resin into a cartridge or DI tank.

Got Questions?

Find answers below or contact our support team.

How do I know when to refill the DI resin?

Check the output with a TDS meter. Tucker's manuals say fresh DI reads 0 ppm, and spotting on glass begins once TDS rises above 10 ppm; non-glass surfaces can typically be cleaned with water up to 40 ppm.

How many gallons will the resin last?

It depends on your incoming water. Tucker estimates about 1,600 gallons per change for 1 ft³ of resin, and about 800 gallons for 1/2 ft³, at 100 ppm incoming water.

How much resin does a refillable cartridge hold?

Tucker lists the 4" x 21" refillable at 1/10 ft³ and the 4" x 30" at 1/5 ft³. So 1 ft³ of bulk resin fills the 4" x 30" about five times.

How do I fill a cartridge so it works?

Pour the resin in with a funnel and pack the bed tightly, with no air gaps for water to slip past. Tucker's manuals say to seat a DI canister with its black seal on top, nearest the sump head.

How should I store DI resin?

Keep it sealed in its bucket where it cannot freeze. Tucker gives the bulk resin a typical 6-month shelf life, and resin that dries out completely stops producing pure water.

Can I drink DI water?

No. Water purified by DI resin is non-potable.
