What it does for your water
The Purolite C100E Softener Resin is replacement cation resin.
Standard 8% crosslink resin is what most residential softeners ship with.
Replace the same volume your tank holds and leave the free space above the bed the maker calls for; an overfilled tank can't backwash.
From the listing: model C100E.
The listing gives dimensions of 14 x 8 x 20 inches, a shipping weight of 45 lb and 1 cf water softener resin in the box.
