## Description

desertcart.com : AquaticLife Mixed Bed Color Changing Bulk Deionization DI Resin Refill for Reverse Osmosis Water Filter for RO/DI System for Aquarium, 5 Liter : Pet Supplies

Review: Great deion media - Been refilling my aquarium water cartridges with this. It works really well and have saved quite a bit already. Doesn't seem to last as long as the OeM media, but damn good for the cost to lose a few gallons between swaps.
Review: Water quality and color change. - If you own an RODI unit, first make sure you have a canister on it to do refills. Second, use this DI media for replacement refills. Easy use, color changes to let you know when it needs replacing. WAY cheaper and convenient than purchasing a new cartridge each time. Just remember, save the filter pads inside your existing cartridge.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the 5L presentation 1 big bag, or several smaller bags?**
A: One big bag, I use a 1/4 cup and scoop into the filter cartridge works great

**Q: The standard 10" cartridge is about 20 ounces?**
A: We say 1.1 lbs. It depends on how tight you pack the resin into the cartridge.  Ken @ Aquatic Life

**Q: Can I use this for a fish tank filter, instead of regular carbon?**
A: Not really, the beads are very small and would likely leak into the tank, and most filters wouldn't  give enough flow, also with fish making more pollutants it wouldn't be effective - as part of an RODI  the water is  forced though the beads for maximum effect and depending on the system 50-100 gal per day is about average, and after a few hundred gallons need to replace the beads.  carbon, and maybe softening pillows (fresh water), or rechargeable media, would be more cost effective.  most RODI have carbon for one of their prefilters.

I use several carbon, and other pillows, in my tank filters or sump. and use these in my RODI to keep pure water  going into the tank

**Q: How many cubic foot is one liter?**
A: 1 Liter = 0.035 CuFt

Smells clean, looks clean, and it left me with 0TDS! There’s a good amount in the bag, so one is definitely enough for any standard RO system
