⚖️ Resin Options: 8% vs 10% Cross-Link vs Fine Mesh

Choosing the right resin depends on your water quality and application:

• 8% Cross-Link Resin (Standard)

  • Most common and cost-effective option

  • Works best for normal city water with moderate chlorine levels

  • Average lifespan: 5–7 years (depending on water chemistry)

• 10% Cross-Link Resin (Premium / Chlorine Resistant)

  • Higher cross-linking means tighter bead structure

  • Provides longer life in chlorinated municipal water (7–10 years)

  • More resistant to oxidation and bead breakdown

• Fine Mesh Resin (Specialty – Iron Removal)

  • Smaller resin bead size for higher surface area

  • Excellent for water with high iron content

  • Often used with an iron filter for enhanced performance
