COLOR CHANGING DEIONIZATION CARTRIDGES

Aries FilterWorks offers color changing deionization cartridges for easy indi­cation of resin exhaustion without the need for monitors or indicating lights.
Available in two configurations: High Purity and High Capacity, users have the
flexibility to select the right cartridge to meet their effluent needs. High purity
color changing mixed bed filters provide a resistivity greater than 10 MegOhm
and distinctively change from blue to amber upon exhaustion. The high capacity
cartridges provide better than 20 Kilo-Ohms and the speckled purpled cation
resin changes to amber as the resin capacity becomes exhausted.

APPLICATIONS

INDUSTRIAL USE -

High Purity cartridges are used for; aquarium make up supply, rinsing and
washing, cooling loops, battery filling, hydrogen generation, and fuel cells.
High capacity cartridges are typically used with a lower effluent water
quality specifications. Applications include; environmental chambers, humidi­fiers, chiller systems, jacketed cooking vessels, sterilizers, autoclaves and ultra­sonic equipment.

LABORATORY USE -

It is important to effectively match the purification technique to the application.
High purity cartridges provides water with a resistivity of >10 megohm, when
used with properly treated tap water. Mixed bed cartridges may be placed
downstream of the RO unit, completing the purification process. This quality
water is used in making up reagents, preparing buffers, and diluting various
laboratory solutions.

ABOUT SCALE, TASTE AND ODOR REMOVAL

The process used for removal of all dissolved salts from water is referred to as deionization or demineralization. Deionization requires the flow of water
through two ion exchange materials in order to affect the removal of all salt content. The use of an indicator dye, bound to the resin, that changes
color is specifically intended for use in clear housing. Such systems are designed without meters and rely on the changing color of the mixed bed resins
to indicate exhaustions and replacements of filters.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• USE OF RESINTECH COLOR INDICATING MIXED BED MEDIA

Easy visual indication of cartridge exhaustion gives complete utilization of all the exchange capacity, which lowers operating cost

• FITS STANDARD RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL SIZE HOUSING

AF Series cartridges are double-open end cartridges that fit standard residential and industrial housings

• OVERSIZED CARTRIDGE FOR MAXIMUM MEDIA FILL

AF Series cartridges have up to 50% higher capacity and extend cartridge life, due to the use of larger cartridges

• QUALITY PRODUCED AND MADE IN THE USA

Cartridges are produced by Aries FilterWorks, a division of ResinTech®. Strict quality control over all aspects of cartridge and media production
allows complete traceability of every filter
