Water Softener Resin Media Replacement - 1/2 Cubic Foot (CuFt) | 100% Ion Exchange High Quality Premium Cation | 16,000 Grain Capacity | NSF Certified (MED-CAT-025/2)

Refurbished my softener cylinder with this resin media and other components (rings, filter basket and draw pipe) Packed in this resin and it went flawlessly. Saved my softener and and getting wonderfully soft water again. Well water FULL of iron, Nickel, Magnesium, Manganese.. Super hardness. All handled effectively by these new beads. Totally worth it.

Use this for my RO water for my saltwater aquarium works great

It was very easy to install after getting the old out of what I call the bell. Getting rid of the old and adding the new has made showering in our 40 foot fifth wheel very nice.

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 when water is first passed through the tank. After connecting the softener tank, I ran water from a faucet near the connection. The water started discolored (gold/tan), but after about 5 gallons ran completely clear. Again, this initial discoloration is to be expected with fresh resin, and I cannot say whether it was from the resin I bought here, or the resin (also fresh) already in the tank. I anticipate no problems with the resin.

Watched a youtube on how to change it in an on-the-go softener that is 14 years old. Was easy to do and the water is now much softer and was a lot cheaper than buying a new one.

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 media in a cup of water with a before/after style review and they didn’t get good results. I’d suggest having circulating water that runs through the media; this should help with reducing the hardness.

I used it in two 4.5x10 filters, two weeks so far no changes that I can find. Using aTDS meter same readings 258-325 if not some higher, water still not sudsing , and still hard water spots. Disappointed. Next stop Lowe’s for water softener.

Our full-time fifth wheel in the Arizona desert will have access to clean water for on-the-go needs. Immediate results are expected.
