Arrived tired. in Fish & Aquatic Pets

Resin was not vacuumed, so it was delivered used up. Of course, I only noticed that when I emptied the old resin. Edit: Seller quickly replaced the order, will update after a few months of use.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Band

Save $ by refilling

Resin allows me to refill my DI cartridge for half the price of a replacement. I use it in the AquaFX Barracuda but it will work with any refillable cartridge that unscrews from the bottom. Just unscrew the bottom, wipe off the old resin, rinse well and refill with this pouch. The bag was the perfect size to fill once.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Some Cons

Disappointing. good for aquarium pumps and filters

Works but changes color quickly. I used the filter manufacturer's resin for about 6 months before the tds went above 2 and there was about a 90% color change. The resin completely changed color within 2 months and showed up to 50% usage over 2 tds. The slightly lower price is not worth it in the long run.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Interchangeable

Short lifespan compared to other brands

This resin works great but has a very short lifespan. I purchased an inline refill DI filter which lasted just over 6 months including the initial fill of a 100 gallon aquarium. Refilling the filter with this resin took 2-3 months. Ro's Tds membrane is regularly tested 2-3 times (my drinking water) so only this resin has changed, I will buy another brand next time.

Pros
  • Convenient item
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Beware of the missing link!

I bought this item which says it was a 600g pack and I made sure to order the 600g item and after I got my removed old resin and went to order, to my surprise, I refilled the container, it wasn't enough! I then removed the label that Revain puts on the products saying it's a 600g pack to find out the actual weight is only 500g as stated on the manufacturer's label and not enough to fill a standard 10 inch tube in the image I've added. Not happy at all. I told Amazon customer service to makeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Quality from 180. Do not buy.

I gave it 5 stars at first because it deserved it. Not now. See below. Update July 2019 This is the last time I will buy this product. As another reviewer noted, the bad weight isn't 1.25 pounds. I've bought this 3 times though Revain. This is the third. The other 2 times I had to pack it into the Ro case so tightly that I had some left over. Lately? To kid. Not only that, there was 1 inch of space left after filling. After only 75 gallons were made, half the resin had already changed colorโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Some difficulties
