Product Performance

Treated Water Quality

• Provides demineralized water with conductivity < 0.1 µS/cm and neutral pH.

Suggested Operating Conditions

• Temperature Range (H⁺/OH⁻ form): 5 – 60°C (41 – 140°F)
• pH Range: 0 – 14

Hydraulic Characteristics

Estimated bed expansion for cation and anion components as a function of backwash flowrate and temperature (10 – 60°C) are shown in graphical figures.

Estimated pressure drop as a function of service flowrate and temperature (10 – 60°C) is shown in graphical figures. These expectations are valid at the start of service with clean water and a well-classified bed.
