Frequently Asked Questions
What is the shelf life of Purolite MB400?
Unopened and kept in its original factory-sealed bag under proper conditions, Purolite MB400 has a recommended shelf life of up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
Can Purolite MB400 be regenerated and reused?
Technically yes, but practically no for standard non-industrial setups. Regeneration requires hydraulic backwashing to separate the cation and anion components by density, regenerating the cation resin with acid (HCl or H₂SO₄) and the anion resin with caustic soda (NaOH), and then intimately remixing them using oil-free compressed air. For most applications, replacing spent resin with fresh MB400 is far more cost-effective.
What water quality does Purolite MB400 produce?
Under standard operating conditions with RO or low-TDS feed water, MB400 produces fully demineralised water with a conductivity under 0.1 µS/cm, resistivity up to 18.2 MΩ·cm, and 0 PPM total dissolved solids (TDS).
What is the recommended service flow rate for MB400?
The optimal operating flow rate is typically between 10 and 40 Bed Volumes per hour (BV/h). For example, a 10-litre vessel filled with MB400 is designed to handle flow rates of roughly 100 to 400 litres per hour, depending on incoming raw water TDS and required output purity.
Why am I seeing high conductivity or TDS breakthrough early?
Premature breakthrough is usually caused by:
Channeling: Water carving preferential paths through the bed due to poor distribution.
Excessive Velocity: Exceeding the maximum recommended service flow rate.
Upstream Contamination: High levels of free chlorine or organics in the feed water fouling or degrading the anion resin.
Dried Resin: Resin that partially dried out before loading, leading to fractured beads and short-circuiting.
What makes Purolite MB400 a high-quality mixed bed resin for water purification?
Purolite MB400 is designed for effective water purification by reducing total dissolved solids and maintaining low conductivity, making it a reliable choice for achieving high water quality in various applications.
How does Purolite MB400 perform in terms of water conductivity over its service life?
Purolite MB400 achieves an average conductivity of about 0.1 µs cm-1 throughout most of its service life, ensuring consistent high-quality water output.
Can Purolite MB400 be used in different water treatment systems?
Yes, Purolite MB400 is versatile and suitable for both regenerable and non-regenerable cartridges as well as large ion exchange units, making it ideal for various water treatment needs.
What are the main applications of Purolite MB400?
Purolite MB400 is mainly used for demineralization and general-purpose water treatment, providing high-quality purification for diverse settings.
What are the specifications of Purolite MB400 resin?
Purolite MB400 is a mixed bed resin with a theoretical total combined capacity of 0.55 eq/l in regenerated form, supplied by GAPS Water Treatment, and is designed for efficient and cost-effective water purification.
