Description
ResinTech CGS-BL is a dark colored sodium form standard crosslinked gel strong acid cation resin. CGS-BL is optimized for residential applications that require good regeneration efficiency and high capacity. ResinTech CGS-BL is intended for use in all residential and commercial softening applications that do not have significant amounts of chlorine in the feedwater. CGS-BL is supplied in the sodium form.
RESIDENTIAL SOFTENING APPLICATIONS
