Commercial Di Filtration Units for Industrial Applications
You’ve got options, my friend. And yes, they come in sizes that range from “cute little box” to “we need a forklift for this.”
First up: point-of-use units. These are small, sit right next to your machine, and filter water on demand. Perfect for labs or small-scale stuff.

There are also twin-bed units (one tank for positive ions, one for negative). And mixed-bed units (one tank that does both jobs). The mixed-bed is like the overachiever in class.
