Regenerate or Repurpose DI Resin. If so how?

[LRT]

Seen this topic come up in a thread and am curious how folks are going about re using DI Resin.
How are you doing it and what materials are needed?

How much DI Resin are you burning? I've change my DI Resin once in 12 months.

Every 2-3 months when my anion cart is depleted.

This is how I do it. I don’t now mix the resins together though, I layer them into the DI cartridge;

At quick glance, a cpl ingredients, well written. I think I could manage this. Thank you for this @Garf

Probably a dumb question but I'll ask it anyway. I have a whole batch of mix bed that dried out on me. Do you have a hack to reionize or make it wet again?

I think that the “Do not allow to dry out” claim maybe false, to be honest. I’ve heard that numerous times over the years. However saying that, I don’t recall letting any go bone dry myself (then again, I can’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday either). I’d just chuck some RO through it and see what happens, perhaps let it soak for a while before taking TDS measurements before condemning it to the bin.

Thanks man I took a gamble with it last round. Still had a slight stink but kind of poured into the can a little like sand and i have been stressed about it ever since. Don't know how far I can trust my tds meters but I am getting 0 after my anion and mixed bed can so hoping for this best.
