What it does for your water
The LiquaGen 1/4 cu ft 10% Crosslink Softener Resin is replacement cation resin in a 1/4 cu ft quantity. Crosslink: 10.
A cubic foot of standard softener resin is rated about 32,000 grains at full salt and about 24,000 at an efficient setting, so 1/4 cu ft is about 8,000 grains at full salt, or 6,000 at an efficient setting.
10% crosslink resin stands up to chlorine better than standard 8% resin, which matters on chlorinated or chloraminated city water.
Match the old bed's volume and don't top the tank up to the neck; resin needs freeboard to expand during backwash.
Other listed details: model 1/4 cu ft; resin 1/4 cu ft.
The listing gives dimensions of 11 x 11 x 11 inches and replacement media in the box.
