does anyone use IONPLUS MB-30 Mixed Bed DI Resin in their DI tanks?
I was using Thermax Tulsion (MB-108-BG) Mixed Bed DI Resin but the place I was buying it before is no longer selling it. I was getting it at $100 for 1 Cubic foot.

I noticed that the IonPlus says MB-30 and the Thermax says MB-108, what do these numbers mean? I can only assume that the 30 wont last as long.

I am looking for some affordable resin but I cant find anything close to $100, does anyone know of a good place for resin?

At $100 for that Tulsion, it was insanely cheap.

MB30 is a decent resin as well. The # has little to do with quality. These are just model numbers.

I see, I found IONPLUS MB-30 Mixed Bed DI Resin (1 Cubic Foot) for $149 on waterfilters.net. Do you think this is a good price?

Its a fair price, but the MB108 is a better product.

5

Is Tulsion the only one who offers MB-108? Why is the MB-108 a better product?

Get your resin from WCR. The quality is great and the price is even better.

Thanks John… We receive nothing but compliments on our virgin resin…

I did a search and looked at a few prices for MB108. That’s some pricey stuff! I saw prices in the $250.00 to $350.00 range for a full cube. At those prices it better be a better product. That must be nuclear grade or something special.

I would imagine the MB-30 at $149.00 is more in line with what us WFP’ers need. I actually have a full cube of MB-30 that I’ll be using when my resin expires.

From what I’ve seen, $149.00 is a great price for virgin mixed bed resin, even if it’s not the top of the line resin like the pricey MB108.

Prior to this post I thought resin is resin and the only big difference is whether it’s virgin or regenerated resin.

Will a tank filled with regenerated resin expire sooner than a tank filled with virgin resin?

Chris, the above link took me to the WCR store but I only saw regenerated resin. I have recently looked for virgin resin at the WCR store but only saw regenerated resin offered. Can you post a link to the virgin resin? Thanks!

All resin is not created equal.

RHG uses MB108 in all of our DI cartridges and sells it in bulk.

Is the Virgin resin you sell MB108?

12

Chris misspoke. Our resin is regenerated.

I’m currently using WCR resin in my DI tank and it’s still going strong after 3 months + of heavy usage. So it is definitely good resin.

Yep sorry about that… We used to have the virgin, then didnt notice any difference in quality than our current stuff… So we stuck with it…
