xTL Reefs Deionization DI Resin — Color-Changing Mixed Bed (1.25 lb, 1 Piece)
Upgrade your DI cartridge maintenance with a resin that visually guides you when it’s time to refresh. This mixed-bed resin from TL Reefs is designed to fit standard 10" DI cartridges, delivering a reliable path to lower total dissolved solids in your system. Each piece weighs 1.25 pounds, a practical size for hobbyists and enthusiasts who want a straightforward replacement option without guessing at resin life. The resin is individually packed and vacuum-sealed to preserve freshness from shelf to cartridge, helping you minimize waste and optimize storage.
Color-Changing Indicator: A Practical Maintenance Cue
The standout feature is the color-changing resin: it shifts from purple to a light brown/amber hue as it exhausts. This visual cue helps you gauge when to replace the resin, reducing uncertain monitoring and the risk of running resin past its effective point. While this indicator can simplify maintenance, it should be interpreted as a helpful guide rather than a guarantee of performance.
What’s in the Pack and How to Use It
- Color-Changing DI resin that signals exhaustion through a color shift
- Each pack yields enough resin to fill one standard 10" DI cartridge
- Individually packed and vacuum sealed for maximum shelf life
Using TL Reefs DI resin is about predictable setups and clean transitions. To refresh your cartridge, open the vacuum-sealed pack, pour resin into the cartridge as directed by your system, and run a flushing or conditioning step per your equipment’s guidelines. The color change provides a practical reminder to evaluate when a replacement is due, helping you maintain consistent water quality without abrupt changes.
Storage and Practical Considerations
Keep the resin in its original vacuum-sealed packaging until you’re ready to use it. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve performance. Because this is a mixed-bed resin designed for deionization, it is most effective when used as part of a standard DI cartridge maintenance routine. Consider keeping a spare pack on hand to minimize downtime during replacements.
