Yes. Dime Water specializes in chemical-free and low-waste systems that conserve water and energy. We design solutions that are safe for both the environment and your household.

Maintenance varies by system but typically includes periodic filter replacements, membrane flushing (for RO), and resin regeneration (for softeners). Dime Water provides easy-to-follow maintenance instructions and ongoing support for all systems.

Some countertop and under-sink systems are DIY-friendly. However, whole-house and commercial systems should be installed by professionals. Dime Water offers installation guidance and support to ensure everything functions properly.

Yes, it is safe and fit to drink.

Yes, it is an ion exchange resin based technology.

We have to do everything by the cubic foot. The customer has to give us the chemistry of the feed water and then we can determine what the quality of the water will be. We calculate manually. After determining the quality we will also know how much chemical it’ll takes per cubic foot.

Well it conducts, yes, but the level of how much it conducts is a function of how functional the DI is and to what level it is removing the dissolved solids.

Yes

No, it partially deionizes it, but reverse osmosis is not considered a deionizer.

It is pretty much the same water.

Yes they are.

Single tank is typically a mixed bed DI tank. Dual tank is a cation and an anion tank separate from one another. A triple tank can mean that between the cation and anion tank you might want to take out something with a special carbon dioxide or that you have a cation and anion two column unit doing 99% of the work and then you follow it with a mixed bed tank as a polishing tank to take out the very last of any dissolved solids.

No, it is not a good choice; there are risks of contamination.

The answer cannot be given in days or weeks, just in gallons and it depends on the cartridge size.

The cost varies by the size of the cartridge and the type of the resin in the cartridge.

It is probably the anion resin. Anion resins are constructed in such a way that they will give off a small amount of chemical called amines, this will have typically a fish-like odor.

It should when it is new, but when used the resin gets smaller as it exhausts so that is probably why it looks like it is not full.

Gravel is nothing more than a mechanical filter. So, depending on the size of the gravel particles � which can be anywhere from a fine sand to relatively large rocks � are used to filter particulate matter out of the water.

It�s a function of what the chemistry of your water is, so if you have a laboratory report or wish to send us a sample we can come up with a very close estimate on how long the filters are going to last.

You have to send in your water to be retested, our estimate of how long the filters will last are pretty accurate but if the customer is concerned the retesting the water is the answer (somewhere close to our estimated time).

Our water contains two types of minerals: organic and inorganic. The human physiology has a biological affinity for organic minerals and most organic minerals for our body functions come from dietary plant foods. Tap water presents a variety of inorganic minerals, which human body has difficulty absorbing. Their presence is sometimes linked to a wide array of degenerative diseases and they are poorly absorbed ore rejected by cellular tissue sites. It is understandable why a consumer of drinking water wishes to have all harmful dissolved items removed from the water and free of microorganisms.Purity has different meanings to different users of water, so when it comes to commercial/industrial applications, customers require a higher purity level of their water. Once a level of purity is determined and the water sample from the customer is reviewed, the processes will be selected. Apart from RO systems, deionizers (DI) help achieve a high level of purity, as they remove virtually all ions from the water by using an acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid plus sodium hydroxide, which is called caustic soda.

Deionized water, or DI water as it is sometimes called, is just what it sounds like: water that has the ions removed. Tap water is usually full of ions from the soil, the pipes and other sources. The process of deionization uses special-manufactured ion exchange resins, which remove ionized salts from water.Deionization typically does not remove organics, viruses or bacteria, so you cannot say that deionized water is pure water 100%. Also, do not get the impression that deionized water really has no ions; at room temperature it still has about 10-7 molar each of H+ and OH- ions.

DI water is suitable for many applications, including autoclaves, hand-pieces, laboratory testing, in the pharmaceutical industry, manufacturing processes requiring high purity water, vehicle rinsing and detailing, laser cutting, and automotive use. Some of the advantages of using DI water include:convenient refill processeasy and fast hook-upeasy to usehigh degree of portabilityless investment requiredlightweight and compactlower cost per gallonno tools requiredreduced operating costsimple refillingenvironmentally safe for disposalflexibility and conveniencestandard hose connectionsTDS meter eliminates guessingmodel for every applicationno more tank rental costsno more hassle of exchanging tankssave time and laborfor a spot free rinseno need to towel dry your car after washingwill not damage vehicle wax finish

Depending on the size and design of the unit, and the total dissolved solids of the supply water, the total number of output gallons varies. It can be anywhere from 4 to 70 GPM (gallons per minute) for our automatic DI units. Depending on the customer�s needs, the flow can be increased. Custom sizes quoted upon request.

The main differences between these DIs are:the dual bed tank deionizer will produce between 2 .5 and 3 times theamount of water compared to the mixed bed single tankthe cost per gallon will be reduced by approximately 50% with a dual tankthe tri-bed tank unit will produce twice the amount of water compared to the dual bed tank unitthe cost per gallon will be reduced even more with a tri-bed tankthe dual bed and tri-bed will provide more gallons of DI water than a single tank unitat the single tank mixed bed unit, both resins co-exist in the same tankthe ultimate purity of the water or the degree of the absence of ions in the water is much higher in single tank units

The water deionizer must be in the upright position while in use but it can be stored or transported in any position.

Our two-column DI units range in size from 48 x 16 x 65 to 48 x 18 x 82 (W x D x H), and our mixed-bed single tank units have a tank size from 16 x 84, to 36 x 84 (diameter x height).

Total dissolved solids (TDS) comprise inorganic salts, principally calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, bicarbonates, chlorides and sulfate, and some small amounts of organic matter that are dissolved in water. TDS is a measure of the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid in molecular, ionized or micro-granular suspended form. The TDS concentration is a secondary drinking water standard and therefore is regulated because it is more of an aesthetic rather than a health hazard.

The two principal methods of measuring total dissolved solids are gravimetry and conductivity. Gravimetric methods are the most accurate. For home use, hand held TDS digital meters will provide an accurate reading ranging from 0 to 1000 PPM (parts per million). They are very simple to use and will give you an instant read out. You can check the TDS of your water source to determine capacity and also use the meter to check the output of the DI unit in order to determine when change-out is necessary.

Resin is used in ion exchange systems for water and wastewater treatment. An ion-exchange resin (ion-exchange polymer) is an insoluble matrix that normally comes in the form of small (0.5-1 mm diameter) beads, usually white or yellowish. Resins are fabricated from an organic polymer substrate and the beads are typically porous, providing a high surface area.The trapping of ions occurs with concomitant releasing of other ions, thus the process is called ion-exchange. There are multiple types of ion-exchange resin but most commercial resins are made of polystyrene sulfonate.

No. Resin color has no effect on the quality of the water nor does color provide any indication of the quality of resin.
