PRESSURE DROP - The graph above
shows the expected pressure loss per foot of bed depth as a function of flow
rate at various temperatures.
Features
- Complies with USDA & FDA regulations (paragraph 21
CFR173.5) for potable water applications.*
- Macroporous structure
- Uniform particle size, low pressure drop.
- Superior physical stability.
- Low color throw (APHA No. 50 * For potable water
applications, the resin must be properly pre-treated, usually by multiple
exhaustion and regeneration cycles, to insure compliance with extractable
levels.Max. as shipped).

ProSoft™ High
Porosity is the most chemically resistant softening resin we offer. It is
manufactured for minimal pressure drops and where high iron content requires
constant bed cleaning with solvents. ProSoft High Porosity is also a favorite
in chemical processing applications.
