So far, so good. Fast delivery, no damage, works as expected.

I purchased 1/2 CuFt of resin to increase the capacity of an underfilled softener resin tank. Shipment was quick, and there was no damage to the bags containing the resin, which has identical appearance to the resin already in the tank. The only reason for less than 5 stars was that the price would have been lower elsewhere, but I needed it quickly (and it was delivered quickly).Note that when adding new resin, a small amount of leaching- fractured beads/residue- is normal and to be expected…

Pros
  • Perfect resin replacement for my On-the-go water softener.
Cons
  • This resin is not for DEionizer replacement.

Works great! for my opinion

Was just what I needed to get my RV water softener back up and running. Works great water is soft just like when it was brand new!

Pros
  • Have worked perfectly so far!
Cons
  • May not be effective in removing all contaminants

It doesn't work in my review

This resin doesn't work. I did a simple test, see pictures. In cup #1, it's tap water. In cup #2, tap water passed through the resin. For the water in cup #1 TDS (total dissolved solids) tester shows 104. In the cup #2 the tester shows 133, but it should be 0 (zero).

Pros
  • New water softener resin. Good Value.
Cons
  • Only half a cubic foot of resin

Product works as it should. Water is soft.

Correct amount in packages. Easy to switch out old for new and everyone can feel a big difference in the softness of our water.

Pros
  • A very good value for the price. Completely satisfied with the hole ordeal
Cons
  • Resin didn't even last for 1 car wash. Don't waste your money

Great product & price. An amazing seller as well.

Been buying this type of media for awhile now and this is the best value for product. An amazing seller that truly cares about the customer. Guaranteed to be a forever customer

Pros
  • Would buy again
Cons
  • May clog easily

Works for homemade chemipure

I bought this to make homemade chemipure along with some highly quality carbon and powdered GFO. This works well. My water doesn't need to be softened a tremendous amount, so I put about a gram per gallon being treated when I'm making up a fresh chemipure bag. Works great. I do dispose of it with the carbon, but this one bag will probably last me well over a decade with 5 tanks and over 300 gallons of water running. I placed it all in quart containers and I have like 7 or 8 of them. I haven't…

Pros
  • High quality product but expensive. Get what you payed for. It was a bit cheaper than the competition.
Cons
  • May leave residue in the water

Great for softening aquarium water

I live in a city with very hard water (General Hardness (GH) >300ppm), so it’s difficult to keep my water parameters in check. Thankfully I found this stuff. I just put it in a small filter media bag and put it in my filter so water is constantly flowing through this and it works great. On average, it keeps GH around 25ppm. This number has been verified by a simple litmus test as well as an advanced chemical water testing kit, so I’m satisfied with the results.I saw another review with this…

Pros
  • The resin was easy to use as replacement for my portable Soft water container
Cons
  • May contribute to plastic waste

Very short life. Must be recharged very often

I have had just under three months of use and the test readings went from super soft to almost very hard. I tried to contact the seller after the community question confirmed this was not normal but have had no reply yet on trying to get them replaced.If I hear from them and maybe just had a bad batch, I will change my rating. But so far I am not able to honestly recommend this product due to the short life and time it takes to get it. This was an expensive inconvenience thus far.UPDATE: After…

Pros
  • just what I need for my water soferen, great price.
Cons
  • May not work effectively in areas with extremely hard water

Do it yourself in my review

As long as you now the size of your softener you can order the correct amount of resin. These came in 1/4 cubic ft. bags so they are easy to handle, remember to order a large funnel to make this an easy do it yourself repair

Pros
  • Great product, price and shipping. Replaced my old resin and it re-charged my softener right up.
Cons
  • May not be easy to dispose of

Guess it is working

I bought this to refill a chamber for my RO/DI system I guess it is working cause my water is still coming out at 0 tds and has the same flavor.

Pros
  • Ordered two bags and one is more than enough for the larger softener.
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other water softener resins

Shipping Policy in my review

Supplier hides the fact that signature is required to receive this item. When you need to either take off work or waste more of your day driving to and waiting in line at the shippers facility, you will soon realize this purchase was a very poor value.

Pros
  • Exactly as described and well packaged
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain types of water softeners

BUY a funnel! on my review.

Do NOT try to replace your resin without a funnel made for the job, trust me on this. I tried without it and stopped until I got a funnel purchased. The resin was good quality

Pros
  • As advertised
Cons
  • May not be enough resin for larger households

Did not work in my CRS spot-free rinse

I tried it my CRS DI-120, as an cheaper alternative to the CRS brand which is expensive. I was surprised that it did not work at all. In fact it raised my parts per million by 30 points. I recommend not using in a CRS machine. A waste of your money.

Pros
  • Just what I ordered
Cons
  • May not be able to handle high water volumes
