Deionization is typically accomplished by passing water through two ion exchange columns, one positively charged and one negatively charged. The ions, which have positive or negative charges, are exchanged for H+ ions or OH- ions. The H+ ions react with the OH- ions, leaving no ions remaining in the solution. It's also possible to use a mixed bed of cation (negative) and anion (positive) exchange resins in a DI cartridge, simplifying the process of deionization. How Deionizer Cartridges Work To purify water with a DI cartridge system, water that has already been filtered to remove particulate matter (and, in many cases, which has already passed through a reverse osmosis system or filter ) is piped into a standard filter housing. This housing typically contains two or more deionizer cartridges, and may also include additional filters as well. As the water flows into the cartridge, it passes through the mixed bed resin, which attracts nearly all of the mineral ions and replaces them with H+ and OH-. These new ions combine to form H20 or water. You're left with high purity water that can be used for a range of industrial purposes. In addition to being simpler, it's more cost effective to purify water using DI cartridges in housings or pods. The regeneration p
