I would like to host a meeting and was wondering if any of you would like to learn how to recharge di resin as a hands on topic, I am also 1 hour north of Dayton and would like to gauge amount of people that would still be interested since majority of people are South of me?
What months are still available?
Thanks.

Here you go Cyber:

The chemicals can be found at Loweâ€™s and the tools at Wal-Mart. The lye is found at Loweâ€™s in the pluming section. It is used for clearing drains and made by a company called Roebic, and is 100% sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), listed as lye on the back of the bottle. The muriatic acid is found in the paint department. The mixing bottles must hold 16 oz. of fluid. The two containers used to separate the resins came from Wal-Mart and hold 64 oz. each. I also needed a large colander, window sheer as a filter, a stir stick, 5 oz. measuring cup (large shot glass), two 32 oz. tumblers, and two 5 gallon buckets.

I have done this twice and worked well both times.

Secondgen · « **Reply #13 on:** March 03, 2010, 17:12:11 »

I would make this one provided no emergency came up. This would be a close one for me.

METZCOOL · « **Reply #14 on:** March 03, 2010, 19:57:04 »

About 1.5 hours with a 1 hour of that time waiting for the anion and cation seperation, other things could be done during the seperation time.

HUNGER · « **Reply #15 on:** March 03, 2010, 19:58:57 »

What months are left for meeting?

ghurlag · « **Reply #21 on:** March 06, 2010, 15:56:18 »

No one has taken March yet, although might not be enough heads up for people with "budget" issues. I just got a text for my wife stating that the money she made today filling in for a friend at 2nd St. Market might pay for a third of the speeding ticket she got on her way home

I guess she forgot to mention that her husband is former law enforcement...

HUNGER · « **Reply #22 on:** March 06, 2010, 16:23:38 »

pay for a third of the speeding ticket she got on her way home

ouch

Reefd Up · « **Reply #23 on:** March 06, 2010, 16:55:38 »

Nooo...please don't do this meeting for March!!! I won't be in town the rest of this month, and I'd really like to do DI resin recharging!!! Please!!!

METZCOOL · « **Reply #24 on:** March 06, 2010, 16:59:57 »

March will not work for me either as I prefer to work with these chemicals in the garage with the door open, so a warmer month would be best.
What months are available yet?

Mmmmmm, chemicals...

I wasn't begging for March, to be sure. I have a list of purchases already slated for this month, so if we can push this back, I am game. I'm just saying that no one has taken March yet. Not even a whisper of anyone taking March. Makes Ghurlag sad

xXTheWendigoXx · « **Reply #26 on:** March 12, 2010, 20:02:58 »

I'd definitely hop in on this. I badly need more knowledge on good DIY stuff.
