DESCRIPTION

Bring your softener back to life without buying a new one.

This 8% crosslinked, high-capacity cation resin is the part of your softener that does the softening. Its gel polystyrene beads pull out hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium. If your water doesn’t feel soft anymore, fresh resin may be all you need.

  • Premium grade, high capacity
  • Fits household and commercial water softeners
  • WQA Gold Seal certified against NSF/ANSI 61
  • Seven sizes: 0.75 to 3.0 cubic feet
  • Free shipping
  • 100% no-risk money-back guarantee
HOW TO USE

Swap the old. Pour the new.

  1. Pick your size. Choose the cubic feet that matches your tank. Not sure? Call our experts.
  2. Replace the old resin. Empty the tank and pour in the new resin.
  3. Backwash, then regenerate. Rinse the new resin and run a regeneration before using it.

Customers say the job takes about one to two hours.

HOW DOES IT WORK

Swap. Soften. Recharge.

Hard water flows through the resin beads. They trade calcium and magnesium for sodium, which leaves your water soft. Over time the beads fill up with hardness minerals.

Your softener then regenerates with salt, which flushes the minerals out and recharges the beads.

Top Quality Replacement Resin For All Water Softeners

This is a higher-capacity, standard gel polystyrene strong acid cation exchange resin, ready for use in household or industrial water conditioning equipment.

It removes hardness ions — calcium and magnesium — replacing them with sodium ions. When the resin bed is exhausted, hardness ions start breaking through in the treated water. Capacity is restored by regenerating with standard softener salt.

Features:

  1. Premium grade, high capacity
  2. Removes hardness ions such as magnesium and calcium
  3. WQA Gold Seal certified against NSF/ANSI 61

Genuinely economical softening capability for household and commercial water softeners alike.

Customer photo review of Resin 8% Crosslink, High Capacity Cation

I was pleasantly surprised when received it in Florida after 3 days of ordering it from you in California you never mentioned that you have a distributor in Tampa fl. Thank you and The unit I have is 22 years new , I changed the Resin in 2011 and it was good for 10 years , it was time to change it again and it worked fine it is back to auto recharge every 4 days and works perfectly. I have had to replace the seals in the Distributor every 3 to 4 years , which is normal ware and tare, and the cost of a new one is 3 to 4 times what i paid in the beginning preventative maintenance is worth the time. Best Regards Ron Grigal

Resin 8% Crosslink, High Capacity Cation

I purchased your soft water system 18 years ago but for the last 2 years the water just didn’t feel soft. I did a little research and found that it was recommended I change the resin media. I knew the system was still working as my potassium would still need replenishing on a regular basis. I changed the resin and now I have very nice soft water again. Best $ 235 spent since I originally purchased your system. Thank you for having a great product! Greg Bandy
