Do you rinse the anion after the lye? How much did it take you to get to zero tds? I recharged mine and wasted just as much rodi to rinse it as I did to make it. Tips?Well I am not going to get into a trash debate. BUT if you want to do something about it, THEN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!
Get a 3 stage di unit. Thats anion, cation, and mixed bed. Odds are very very high you are only exhausting the anion or the cation.
Buy a big bag of the one your are exhausting. Change out as needed. Then when you dont have any left..recharge it.
I dump my anion resin in lye and water. BOOM.. recharged. Cation needs an acod and water. Rinse with rodi water, let air dry. I bought a fine mesh filter that fits on top of a 5 gallon bucket for like $12 to assist in the process.
I blast through an entire cartridge of anion resin every 100 gallons... well water. Have not bought anion resin in about 3000 gallons of rodi.
So instead of worrying about throwing it out... don't..
