Yeah, I am familiar with the look of exhausted mixed bed. But don't remember what the other two looked like when new.Your mixed bed looks exhausted and needs to be replaced. However, it doesn't look like the anion or mixed bed were packed very well in the cannister.
Agree. I know the mixed bed is done but which of the other two is "done"?Only replace what's exhausted. They'll get used up at different rates, so you don't have to change them all at once.
The anion will look like the mixed bed when it's exhausted. Yours looks greenish in the photo. It's blue when new and brownish tan-ish brown when exhausted like the mixed bed. I've never seen mine a greenish color like that. Both your anion and mixed bed cannisters have visible gaps between the sponge at top and top of media. This shouldn't be like that.Yeah, I am familiar with the look of exhausted mixed bed. But don't remember what the other two looked like when new.
As to packing, curious about your method. I just repeatedly bash the canister into the ground and keep adding to the top pretty much so that the lid does the final compress.
You are correct. Once I removed the canister and inspected there was almost an inch empty in the top. Which is strange because I bang these things and stuff them pretty good.Yeah, it's kinda hard to tell by the pic, but they don't look like they're packed well? I got tired of packing mine, so I switched to a hybrid BRS/Spectrapure system.
