Can you mix filtration media or resins in the same tank?

In this Quick Tips episode of It’s Your Water, Mike and Denise explain when mixing media can work — and when it leads to serious problems. While it may look like a space-saving shortcut, mixing media often creates backwashing issues, calcification, drain clogging, and contaminant leakage when system design limits are pushed.

Learn why cation and anion resins shouldn’t be mixed on hard water, when mixing is especially risky for health-related contaminants, and why chambered (plated) tanks are usually the safer, modern approach.
