Any interest in bulk DI resin?

I'm interested in buying some mixed bed DI resin from resindepot. $189 for 35 refills.... a whole cubic foot of the stuff, 52 lbs. That's about $23/ea for 10 ppl, shipping and all, for ~3 - 4 refills. Lots of folks use it, including Randy Holmes-Farley. Since BFS sells it for $39/5lbs, that's quite a savings.....
Anyone?

Is this the color changing type? If so I'll take some of this if it is still available. 23 bucks for about 3-4 refills right?

Hey big cat you seem so good at this can you find us a cheaper source for phosphate remover to? I found one place but I think you need to order such huge amounts we couldnt afford it.

I can't do the meeting 'cause I'll be working, as usual during meeting times, so let me know if you decide to order.

Payment is by paypal (or in person if you are on the East side of Columbus) I decided to go with Two Part Solution, an RC vendor, and get name brand stuff.... Purolite Nuclear Grade non color changing.
Cost per person is $22.35, including paypal fees and shipping. Distribution will be @ the next CORA meeting, the Maxi Jet workshop, or @ my house at Hamilton & Livingston. I have a premier paypal account, so you can use a credit card if ya like
ONE MORE PERSON NEEDED.
Also, they have great prices on sediment and carbon block filters, check 'em out and we can work something out on that too.
If there is more interest Real Soon Now, we can expand this, otherwise I'm gonna cut this off @10 ppl including myself

what's your paypal account? You live right up the road from me so i'd probably do a local pickup. when you do expect it in? Can you send a PM with your paypal account info and address?

Thanks

Just FYI, I would never depend on color changing resin. A TDS meter is the only way to be sure.... and they are very cheap (O ya, I'm an instrumentation engineer/metrologist too)

Would everyone be willing to spread this among 8 ppl instead of 10? $176 + $38 shipping = $214/8= $26.75 each. The vendor states that 1 cu ft is 44 lbs, here is the link to the product
http://www.twopartsolution.com/index...products_id=60
That is 4 - 5 refills each, About $6 - $7 per fill
Please LMK soon, I need resin bad!
