    Towards the bottom of the sales flyer, order FILTKIT-3PK-CSPDI or FILTKIT-3PK-CSPDI-HC for only $4 more and 1/3 more DI capacity.

    Both kits have a much more efficient 0.5 micron absolute rated sediment filter, the 1.0 micron does not do as good a job of protecting the 0.5 micron carbon block.

    Yes, it includes a refillable cartridge filled with 20 oz of fresh reef specific SilicaBuster DI resin.

    Yes, all their cartridges are refillable since they blend and pack all their own resins in house. Once you remove the cartridge from the canister, the bottom should unscrew and expose a foam donut and the resin below that. I have 5 empties around the house as it is cheaper to buy the prefilled cartridge when they are on sale than the bulk resin refills.
