LiquaGen 1.5 cu ft 10% Crosslink Softener Resin: high-crosslink resin

What it does for your water

The LiquaGen 1.5 cu ft 10% Crosslink Softener Resin is replacement cation resin in a 1.5 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 1.5 cu ft is about 48,000 grains at full salt, or 36,000 at an efficient setting.

10% crosslink resin stands up to chlorine better than standard 8% resin, which matters on chlorinated or chloraminated city water.

Buy the volume your tank was built for. The empty space above the resin is there on purpose: the bed needs room to lift during backwash.

The listing also gives material resin; resin 1.5 cu ft.

The listing gives dimensions of 8 x 18 x 10 inches, a shipping weight of 75 lb and comes with funnel in the box.
