Choosing the Right RODI System
While the initial cost of a DI tank is quite a bit less than an RODI system, because DI resin is expensive, an RODI tank may quickly pay off in the long run.
An RODI system is considered a 3-phase system because the water first runs through a pre-filter (usually carbon) to remove chlorine, then an RO filter, which removes about 98% of the water's impurities, and finally through a DI filter. The amount of costly DI resin needed is then greatly reduced with an RODI system.
However, not all RODI systems are the same.
When choosing an RO//DI system, there are some things you need to consider, including:
- What is the average TDS of the water in my area?
- How high am I going to be cleaning with a water fed pole?
- How often am I going to be cleaning with a water fed pole?
- How many people will be cleaning with water fed poles at a time?
Yes, budget is another consideration, but it's a little more complicated than just the initial purchase price. The smaller the system, the more often you'll have to change cartridges, which cuts down on productivity.

The ProTool Flat Pack Cart

For a small amount more, you can order an assembled cart that requires just a few steps to get up and running. Simply add the wheels and filters, then connect two hoses and you're ready to clean.
