Here’s the truth: The best DI system is the one your team actually maintains. A fancy EDI gathering dust because no one changes the pre-filters is worse than a humble exchange tank that gets swapped every Tuesday. Don’t let the marketing brochures hoodwink you into “ultra-pure” if your process just needs “regular pure.”
So before you sign that purchase order, walk down to the production floor. Look at the water stains. Ask Dave what he’s really tired of yelling about. That is the system you need. Trust me on this—I still have the mental image of a grown man hugging a filter skid.
