Mechanical / Hydraulic

• Backwash Expansion: Estimated bed expansion as a function of backwash flowrate and temperature (10 – 60°C / 50 – 140°F) is shown in Figure 1 of the datasheet.
• Pressure Drop: Estimated pressure drop as a function of service flowrate and temperature (10 – 60°C / 50 – 140°F) is shown in Figure 2 of the datasheet. These expectations are valid at the start of the service run with clean water.

Resin Pairings
