NSF Approved 10% Crosslink Softening Resin, 0.50 Cu/ft Box (50-BOX)

Product Description

10% Crosslink Softening Resin is a High cross-linked styrene divinylbenzene strong acid cation resin in bead form.  Specially developed to eliminate taste and odor and provide excellent stability.  It is primarily used for softening water in municipal and industrial water treatment. 

Cation resin in sodium form removes hardness ions such as calcium and magnesium by replacing them with sodium.  When the resin bed is exhausted,  the hardness ions begin to pass through the bed.  Functionality is returned by regeneration with concentrated sodium or potassium chloride solution.

The capacity obtained depends largely on the amount of salt used in the regeneration.  Typically 15lbs. of chemical per ft3 is used to obtain maximum capacity of up to 33,000 grains per ft3.

10% High Capacity Cation Softening ion exchange resin is more Chlorine Resistant than our Standard 8% Crosslink High Capacity Resin. For use in any water softening system, with a Chlorinated Water Supply. Will also remove up to 3 ppm of Clear Water Iron.
