Resin Traps / Media Traps are essential to protect /collect the Ion Exchange Resins A resin trap is used on service outlet and backwash lines on :
Cation, anion, mixed bed, and selective ion exchange resin systems
Commercial and industrial water softeners
Activated carbon filters
Greensand, multimedia, sand, anthracite, etc. media filters.
What is Resin Trap?
The trap is a Filter Basket type / Conical Type with fine filtration upto 0.2 mm (200 microns) with more filterration area.The strainer can be installed in backwash line before the drain manhole.
Vira make traps are designed in corrosion resistant alloy steel material to take care of PH values.
The resin trap holds back escaping media at the onset of a failure. Visual monitoring will alert the operator to underdrain, lateral or strainer damage prior to catastrophic failure and extensive loss of media. An unmonitored resin / media trap will collect the ion exchange or media in the resin trap until the water flow is completely blocked, but it will still protect the downstream product, process, equipment and/or pumps from damage and contamination.
