ОтветитьYou should not be pouring this out on your yard. Put in the trash.
Ответитьanother idiot
ОтветитьLooking at the comments, I would say it's a controversial video.
Even if you are just DIYing things, it is advisable to do some research beforehand, take your time and stick to best practices instead of making assumptions ('biodegradable resin') based on some random suggestion and going with whatever comes to your head in that moment.
Wasn't sure about disposing of water softener resin, and looking for information. There's a lot of talk about pollution in the environment here. I just removed my softener completely. No softener, no plastic to dispose of. Problem solved.
ОтветитьI just lectured my old uncle (77yr) about this and microplastics!
His attitude was: "well, it's just the way it is..." "What can we really do?" "I did it this way last time.."
He ended up making a big effort to put most of what we could salvage in a bag so we could dispose of it properly. I've never been more proud!
Is there a biodegradable material out in the market rn? Or alternative method?
So it dissolves over time? Could u add more resin without emptying it?
ОтветитьResin is not biodegradable
ОтветитьWhy did you dump that resin in your yard? Should've gone straight into a trash bag. Now you have to do extra work to get the resin out of your yard.
ОтветитьResin doesn't expand that’s the water cohering to it. You will not loose resin if it’s installed correctly. The screens and some with o rings on the tube are designed to keep it in. Installing it backwards can send resin out of the tank. As the water passes down the tube up thru the bed the minerals get stuck in the crevasses in the irregular shaped plastic bits “resin” thus filtering your water. When the resin bits get fully plugged with minerals you get hard water until the unit regenerates. The salt water from the salt tank gets sucked into the resin bed and the salt breaks the minerals off of the resin. The unit backwashes the salt water and the minerals down the drain leaving clean resin to filter water again. Use good salt. If you have rust use salt with rust remover additives. Iron can coat the resin and is harder to get off than the minerals and can shorten the life of the resin. You should have your hard water tested and your soft water tested before you replace resin or buy another softener. Don’t just “put one in.” The current softener could even be in bypass and of course the water is hard so check that. Dad was a plumber for 38 years. Also bypass your water softener if you ever chlorinate your well. Enough chlorine/bleach can melt the resin.
ОтветитьJust had my resin break loose into my plumbing and plug up everything. So inconvenient.
Ответитьhow do we know if resin works or not?
ОтветитьHey there Elmer Fudd. That looks like perfectly good resign to me.but, Nevertheless it should not be poured out onto the ground. It should go into a container and disposed of according to local code.
ОтветитьEvery one on here talking shit whats wrong with yall if you dont like the video then dont watch it
ОтветитьI usually eat the resin in small portions with my meals until it’s gone. I’m just worried that I’m polluting when I take a poop.
ОтветитьAwwwww, you got it on you fwip-fwops!
ОтветитьListen to all the climate change retards 🤦🏼♂️ Let’s go Brandon!
ОтветитьLol. the levels of confident utter cluelessness in some people is just astounding. Let's dump assloads of microplastics straight into the open environment because someone once told me "it's biodegradable, so it's fine"! Hilarious. It's literally polystyrene. It takes HUNDREDS of years to biodegrade.
ОтветитьYou shouldn't have dumped it in soil. Those are plastic beads. It is important to dispose them properly.
ОтветитьThe village idiot!
ОтветитьLove how people know it all! I’m just glad to see what goes on inside the tank, everyone else - molecular experts and water engineers 😂.
Ответитьvery nice
Ответитьhow many days we replace it
ОтветитьHello . When I do a resin reload, I use a construction vacuum cleaner to remove the water. You can reboot quickly and dry without dirt.
ОтветитьThis water softener was manueal
My company water softener was automatic call to my number 9880354901
🙆♂️🙆♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
ОтветитьHave you heard of microplastics? A landfill is lined with thick clay and plastic to contain everything, and that's better then just dumping it out in the open. There's absolutely no justifying dumping plastic anywhere really.
ОтветитьYeah....it's biodegradable in about 1000 years!!
ОтветитьBIODEGRADABLE.....DRINK IT THEN AZZHOLE
ОтветитьWHAT A FUQQING MORON
Ответитьtypical DYI idiot .... just throw it to the soil...
ОтветитьLegend says that resin is still on that dirt
ОтветитьThe stuff, plastic is 100% non biodegradable. The reason it is getting broken down and disappears in the system is from chemical decomposition which is definately not biological which means life forms.. so bio (organism) degradable (digestion) more or less but no organism has evolved to be able to compost meaning eat and shit out any man made plastics (dunno all of the varous types) but that is why it is recycled and reused, because it doesnt break down naturally so it piles up.. and chemically dissolving it only turns it into another compound likely more harmful of a chemical bond.. but either way its non toxic so it would act like vermiculite in the soil.. no harm.. now if dumped down storm drains or in toilet than it will not be good for processing plants and fishies would eat it and die from their stomach being full but unable to get any nutrients or ability to eat more cus wont digest...
ОтветитьI don't think you should've dumped it. It's plastic beads.
ОтветитьIt looks like the resin was in really good condition... ?
ОтветитьWhat type of Resin is that? Cation or Anion? Thanks
Ответитьyou shouldn't dispose of any kind of chemicals in the environment, but nature aside, I really REALLY hope that resin is not the most commonly used styrene-DVB copolymer because that shit is a health hazard. it is teratogenic, can cause reproductive health problems and causes damage to specific organs with repeated exposure. if it is this copolymer, you should have used gloves and mask dude
ОтветитьResin is recyclable this guy does not know what he does.
ОтветитьDon't dump plastic into your flower beds.
ОтветитьYou get me to actually replacing the resin and you stop? That's like. . . . .
ОтветитьResin is PLASTIC, it is NOT Biodegradable!!! This guy does not know what he's talking about!! If you fill a softener with 1 cubic ft of resin you will always have 1 cubic ft of resin. Resin gets damaged by chlorine and fouled by minerals and loses efficiency over time but it DOES NOT DISSOLVE!!
Ответитьthe worm was running for it.
