Throughput Capacity (Gal/cu. ft.)
Mixed Bed throughput capacity is based on the stated inlet conductivity of neutral pH waters and run to a 1 µS/cm endpoint. TDS is based on NaCl (2.5µS/cm/ppm as CaCO₃). Different salts may have different contributions to TDS. Capacity is based on the anion component and is for virgin resin. Following the initial exhaustion and regeneration, subsequent cycles will likely be shorter, depending on how skillfully the resins are separated, regenerated, and remixed.
