ReadyAquatics has some smoking deals on Kati Ani De-Ionizers

Kati Ani de-Ionization is a preferred method for water and is more efficient and can tend to give you a purer end product than traditional reverse osmosis systems and if you ever thought they were too expensive, ReadyAquatics.com has some units on sale for a great price. Besides making your water more pure, other benefits of Kati Ani systems are not really needing sediment or prefilters, not producing waste water, and the cation (Kati) portion can be regenerated. Each system comes with two reactors plus the amount of media needed for each part of the system.

For the Kati Ani Model one that is suggested for systems up to 100 gallons, the cost is now just $116.98 (marked down from $179.99) and includes one liter of resin. For larger systems you can get the Model Two for $168.98 with two liters of resins (for tanks up to 200 gallons), the Model Five for $361.98 with five liters of resin (for tanks up to 500 gallons) and the Model 10 for $611.88 with 1o liters of resin (for systems up to 1,000 gallons). Check out the ReadyAquatics website for more information.

    Curious to know if it is the same regen procedure as normal DI resin, which always seem like too much of a pain than it was worth for me. I have a 7 stage RO/DI, last 2 stages are DI, and I get maybe 500G of water with 2 stages before the DI is exhausted/no longer getting 0 TDS. I have very dirty/high TDS tap water, 700+. 

    I think most of us know you can use straight DI resin and get 0 TDS without the need for extra filters, but the extra filters make the DI last longer and pre-filters are a lot cheaper to replace than others. 

    I guess my big question is, how is this method cheaper than going with the traditional method? 0 TDS is 0 TDS, doesn’t matter how you get there, just matters how much it cost to get there. The statement their water is “more pure” strikes me as very odd as well.

    To recharge the Kati-Ani units, you need HCl and NaOH.

    So the same method to recharge. It may sound scarier than it actually is, but the articles I have read have always turned me off. The amount of work involved with hazardous chemicals in order to save $10 on a DI refill bag from BRS just seems way out of proportion, at least for me, so I just pay the $10 and refill with new vs all the work involved to recharge. 

    I am thinking this product may be a little easier to recharge since it is split, no need to sit and separate the 2, so that is a plus, but I am still curious as to the final “cost per gallon of 0 TDS water” when comparing this product to traditional RO/DI units, and also curious why they claim their water is more pure, unless they are just comparing it against RO and not RO/DI. If this method turns out to be significantly cheaper than traditional methods, awesome, I will order one, but I suspect it really isn’t.

    The problem with this system, and doing away with the prefilters, is unless you have clean water from the get go you’ll chew through resin like nobody’s business.    Can you recharge?  Yeah, dealing with quite scary chemicals (even with the proper safety procedures), and I would question how much (if any) you’d save over a long haul.  Used to be easier when Red Devil from Home Depot was exactly what you needed for your base solution, not so much anymore.  

    I’ll take reverse osmosis any day over this, since my water isn’t pretty damn pure to start with, waste water? Yeah, but I can deal with that and I run it to my backyard so never water that.  Plus running 2 RO filters in line cuts my waste water that much more.

    I’ve thought about recharging before, but like you I’ve just stuck with the BRS refills. I don’t care about the chemicals, but opening the cartridge and separating the resin seems like a huge time waste.

    The only way it would be effective for me is if I added a second DI stage to my RODI units with one cartridge cation resin and the other anion. Then I could just save up the spent cartridges and regen them in the reactor setup I use for GFO regen. Maybe I’ll do that at some point, but resin is cheap and labor is expensive.

    By the way, I didn’t watch the ReadyAquatics video, but that still image looks like the start of a bad porno!

    No need for pre-filters? What about the removal chlorine, chloramine or other organics?

    I was just thinking the same thing, what about chloramines. You need carbon to break apart the ammonia and chlorine and remove the chlorine, then on top of that the left over ammonia will greatly reduce the lifespan of the DI resin. Lots of articles written about that already.
