 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.*
- Reversable exchange of organics.
- Superior, physical stability.
* For potable water applications, the resin must be properly
pre-treated, usually by multiple exhaustion and regeneration cycles, to insure
compliance with extractable levels.

ProSelect™ Tannin is the choice
for color, organics, and tannin contaminated waters. It works as an organic
screen, either as a stand alone prefilter for a softener, or in some
applications as a media which is simply added to an existing softener.
ProSelect Tannin will sit on top of the existing softening bed to protect it
and remove organic (heme) iron as well. ProSelect Tannin regenerates with
salt.
†CAUTION: DO NOT MIX ION EXCHANGE
RESINS WITH STRONG OXIDIZING AGENTS. Nitric acid and other strong
oxidizing agents can cause explosive reactions when mixed with organic
materials such as ion exchange resins.
