When you break it down it's not bad at all.
A refill on a DIC-20 is $90. Depending on your water hardness.. lets say it's pretty hard and you get 300 Gallons before you go above 30 PPM TDS (spotting appears). That's 30c a gallon! It's even less if you get more water out of it of course.
Code:
(input ppm) resin vol gal resin vol gal resin vol gal
50 ppm .02 (1/38) 94 .17 (1/6 ) 799 .33 (1/3) 1551
100 ppm .02 (1/38) 47 .17 (1/6 ) 400 .33 (1/3) 776
200 ppm .02 (1/38) 24 .17 (1/6 ) 200 33 (1/3) 388
400 ppm .02 (1/38) 12 .17 (1/6 ) 100 .33 (1/3) 194
Flow Rate: .2 gpm 2 gpm 4 gpm
I'd love to be able to go to the store and buy DI water @ 30c a gallon.
Yes the initial cost is a kick in the pants but to be able to use that water for dilution mixes and final rinse will be well worth it in no time flat.
