Deionized (DI) water systems remove dissolved ions from water through an ion exchange process. According to Corrosionpedia, “Deionization is the process by which both positively charged and negatively charged ions (cations and anions, respectively) are removed from water. These ions are considered contaminants and provide false results in scientific testing, and are also corrosive to metals and metal alloys. Although the name suggests completely ridding water of ions, there are inevitably some that remain.”
Deionized water systems clean water by removing tiny particles called ions. The water flows through special materials that swap out unwanted ions for harmless ones, removing minerals and salts and leaving the water deionized and clean.
Besco Commercial uses the latest technology in our deionized water systems. We make purified water for many different business uses. We build each system to fit our customers’ needs, which works great for them. If you need pure water for labs, factories, or cleaning, we can help. Our water is so clean that it meets or exceeds what industries require.

What Are the Benefits of Using Deionized Water for Your Business?
Using deionized water offers numerous benefits for businesses across various industries. Some key advantages include:
- Enhanced product quality and consistency
- Extended equipment lifespan
- Reduced maintenance costs and downtime
- Improved efficiency in cleaning processes
- Ensured compliance with industry regulations
- More accurate test results in laboratory settings
These good things happen because DI water contains few to no contaminants. Without these impurities, machines work better, and products stay pure. Clean water also stops crusty buildup and rust on equipment. When businesses use a deionized water system, they can do their work better and keep things high-quality. This helps in many different ways they use water.
Besco Commercial’s deionized water systems provide these benefits and more to our clients. Our tailored solutions help businesses:

What Types of Contaminants Does a DI Water System Remove? 
A deionized water system is highly effective at removing a wide range of ionic contaminants from water. These include:
- Dissolved Minerals: Including calcium, sodium, magnesium, and potassium
- Anions: Including chloride, sulfate, and nitrate
- Other Ionized Particles: Including some heavy metals and certain organic compounds. According to Labconco, “Because the ion-exchange resin [in a DI system] is not a physical filter with a pore size, bacteria and dissolved organics will not be captured.”
However, DI water systems may be less effective against non-ionic substances, particulates, or microorganisms.
Besco Commercial designs DI water systems that thoroughly remove contaminants, meeting strict purity standards. Our systems can be customized with additional treatment options to target specific impurities in your water. This allows us to fine-tune the purification process to match your needs, ensuring the water quality meets your industry’s needs.
“For instance, we can incorporate carbon filtration or UV sterilization to tackle organic compounds or microbiological contamination,” says Besco General Manager Ken Morgan. “This ensures your water meets the exact purity specifications required for your applications.”
How Often Do DI Water Systems Need Maintenance or Replacement of Resin?
Maintenance frequency and resin replacement for DI water systems depend on factors including:
- water usage
- incoming water quality
- required purity level
Generally, resin beds may need replacement every 3-5 years, but this can vary. According to Felite Resin Technology, “Usually, DI resins have a five to ten-year lifespan. These resins will be active until their beads have no physical and chemical damage.” Quarterly or Bi-annual maintenance, including system inspections and performance checks, is typically recommended. Monitoring the quality of the produced water is crucial to determining when resin regeneration or replacement is necessary.
Besco Commercial prioritizes the longevity and efficiency of our clients’ DI water systems. We provide comprehensive maintenance plans tailored to each system’s specific needs and usage patterns. “Our expert technicians conduct regular check-ups, perform necessary adjustments, and provide timely resin regeneration or replacement services,” says Commercial Operations Manager Brian Noble.
What Is the Expected Lifespan of a DI Water System?
A well-designed commercial DI water system can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care and regular maintenance. However, individual components may need replacement or upgrades during this time. The resin beds typically have a shorter lifespan and may need replacement every few years, depending on usage and water quality. Factors affecting lifespan include system quality, usage intensity, incoming water quality, and maintenance practices.
As a member of the Water Quality Association and the Michigan Water Quality Association, Besco Commercial designs and installs DI water systems built for longevity and reliability. Our systems use high-quality, durable materials and components that withstand continuous operation demands. “We emphasize proper system sizing and design to ensure optimal performance for your specific application,” says General Manager Ken Morgan. “Our comprehensive maintenance plans and expert technical support help extend your system’s life, maximizing your return on investment.”
Can a DI Water System Be Integrated Into My Existing Water Infrastructure?
Deionized water systems can often be added to your existing water setup with careful planning. To do this, we look at your current water supply, figure out where you need the clean water, and design a system that fits your space and connects to your current pipes. We think about things like how much room you have, your water pressure, how fast the water needs to flow, and if the water needs any cleaning before it goes through our system.
Since the early 1960s, Besco Commercial has been designing and installing DI water systems that work well with your existing setup. Our engineers carefully check your current setup and consider what you’ll need in the future. Then, we create a custom plan that won’t disrupt your work but will still clean your water well.
Commercial Operations Manager Brian Noble explains, “No matter if you need clean water at just one spot or all over your building, Besco Commercial ensures our system fits in smoothly. We improve your water quality without messing up how things already work.” However, you don’t have to take our word for it, check out our case studies to see how we solved a few of our clients’ problems.
