Hey Accumulator, it`s OK I too have come across as a jerk and not meaning too. Lets call it water under the bridge and have some fun detailing!!



Really this is more of a "I`m really bored" kind of project to get me through the winter time just to see if I CAN do it. I have a TDS meter on order and should be here by next week so I`m going to do some good ol` testing. I found a local company that sells the resin so shipping won`t be an issue! I can get 5#`s for $40 which should be plenty to get me going. But yes I had thought of doing a prefilter setup ahead of the DI filter. I figured a 20"x4.5" housing unit for the DI and a 10"x2.5" housing unit for the softener. Here`s the website I have been looking at that is local to me....should give you a pretty good idea of what I`m thinking of.



There are a few people on AG`s forum that also are a little interested in if this setup will work. So we`ll see. If nothing else I`ll have fun and learn from it!



Thanks for the suggestions Accumulator!
