Can I use well water for ro and saltwater?

Triple di saver from brs (or others) can save on your resins.
High co2 eats up the anion. With the anion and cation seperate before the mixed bed, it's easy to recharge the anion with some lye. Just wear your ppe.

Google lye and how to mix before preceding!


I dump the anion in a plastic colander with a coffee filter or other small filter. Mix lye with tap water. I also use a small bowl the colander fits in and submerge the anion into the lye. In a few minutes the lye is recharged. Rinse with rodi, a couple gallons will do. Repack, run unit until zero TDS is restored (takes 5-10 minutes or 1/4ish gallon).

Would be interesting to find that article

Sorry I have looked. I had a friend that had well water. I was hoping that someone on here would have a better memory.
