Resin Trap - A safety assurance to prevent media loss

RESIN TRAPS

Cost-Effective Filter Insurance

The resin trap is installed at the filter outlet to capture resin and media, preventing downstream movement. Its design features a wedge wire screen with one closed end and a welded flange on the other for easy installation and maintenance. The wedge wire structure ensures smooth fluid flow with continuous slots and supports both FITO (Flow In To Out) and FOTI (Flow Out To In) filtration. Customizable height accommodates diverse fluid and environmental needs.

A resin trap (or media trap) is a simple, inexpensive protective siev device that ensures the ion exchange resin or other filtration media does not leave the water treatment equipment.

How do Water Treatment Systems Get Damaged?

Many water treatment processes use small granular, plastic, powdered, pelletized, and/or crystalline media in a pressure vessel. Over the years, complex screens, slotted pipes, perforated plates, and molded devices have been engineered to keep the media in the vessel. But through corrosion, chemical attack, thermal damage, rapid flow changes, system age, and/or water hammer, these distribution systems will be damaged.

When the distribution systems are damaged, the ion exchange resin or other media will get into the water distribution system, contaminating and/or destroying downstream RO membranes, expensive membrane filters, pumps, tanks, piping, processed,s and any product this contaminated water touches.

Resin Trap Benefits

Best practices call for all media systems to have a resin trap, so you minimize the risk of downstream contamination.

Resin traps can:

Eliminate mass resin/media loss into piping distribution systems

Prevent loss of resin during backwashing

Protect downstream equipment and pumps

Function and Placement of Resin Traps:

Resin traps act as in-line strainers, capturing debris and preventing it from entering critical system components.

The ideal placement for resin traps is after carbon filters or water softeners.

Use the sight glass on the resin trap to monitor for any signs of resin or debris build-up. This is an early warning signal for potential system issues.
