Ion Exchange Resin for the Removal of Negative Ions,
Specifically Silicates in Reverse Osmosis Water
Silico OH- is a resin designed for removing negative ions, particularly
silicates.
Silicate is one of the most challenging ions to remove and requires a specific
resin. By placing this resin at the outlet of reverse osmosis systems, it is
possible to minimize diatom problems when starting up tanks and drastically
reduce the input of silicates during water top-offs. It should be used only at
the outlet of reverse osmosis systems.
Place the contents of the package into a refillable
cartridge and then inside the filter (vessel) at the outlet of the reverse
osmosis system. The resin is preserved with a preservative liquid that may have
a pungent odor. Do not sniff. Upon first use, rinse with osmotic water or
discard a volume of water equal to 6 times the amount of resin used. Using only
Silico OH-, which is 100% active resin, it is normal to observe a slight
increase in conductivity and pH between the inlet and outlet of the resin. To check
when the resin is exhausted, use a conductivity meter or TDS meter.
