Every time I watch one of your videos there’s something else I can’t live without!
Absolutely love your Channel Pan!!! Shoutout all the way from South Africa. I'm starting up a mobile car wash/detailing service for the guys struggling with the sea breeze inland containing salt/fallout particles, highway debris, etc. . I have a passion for clean detailed cars and trucks. I myself drive a Ford Ranger and the car washes we have here is uneducated. My New truck is about 6months old, and after watching some of your videos, I took a walk around my own truck and started noticing a lot of things that went wrong in the wash bays. I can be a hard-ass for finding things wrong...lol.. It makes me sad as its an expensive part of one's life.... I didn't realize this until I've watched most of your videos!! Keep up the good work!! #supporter for life!!!
Definitely pick one of these up, night and day difference in washing your vehicle. Apec CWS-300 is the model I use, it comes with a tester, but it isn't built in to the unit like Pan's.
I’ve had the CR Spotless DIC 20 unit for about 4-5 years now. Absolutely love it. The resin is very easy to change especially if you buy the replacement cartridges instead of buying the extra bags. A little more expensive but worth not making a mess with the resin. I use with my Karcher K5 power washer and it works just fine. I love the security it provides in not having to deal with water spots. Highly recommend it.
How many washes would you say it lasts before meeding to be replaced ?
Your video pop up on CZcams one day I started detailing my truck now thanks to you I watch every day
😄👍🏻
Great video Pan. RV Mods sells an attachment for your system, if you haven't bought it already. Filter rods that allow you to pack more resin into each container by removing the need for the inner plastic resin containers.
I have a DI system, different brand but same concept, and I would suggest anyone about to purchase a unit like this, get a TDS meter and find out how hard your water is first, because that will help determine the continued cost by replacing expensive resin. For instance, I live in Florida where TDS is easily over 400. It goes through the resin very quickly. I have an irrigation well that is only 200+ TDS in comparison, so I use it and it helps to save the resin for more rinse cycles before replacement.
I have seen videos where reverse osmosis setups that fill a tank and use a small pump to push the water out will lower TDS to about 10 before it hits the DI resin and really elongates the DI resin for thousands of gallons of 0 ppm water. I could easily see your already impressive garage adding that to the setup.
I own the same system and love it can't ever go back! The only drawback for me living in the desert is our water quality isn't that great. So the resin. Only lasts me 10 to 14 washes roughly. So its a pricey luxury for me. Still a great product.
When I purchased a similar unit here in Australia I installed a 5 micron pre filter unit. This will make your main filters last longer.
I’ve been looking at these for years! Especially detailing in Arizona, where the foam soap dries on the car before you can even wash or rinse 😂 they were so much cheaper years ago, now they have gone way up in price! It’s still worth it out here in the desert though!
I've been using this same model CR Spotless (DIC-20) for about 2 years now. It's does exactly what the manufacturer claims. Just be sure to use a designated rinse hose with the supplied spray nozzle and it works! CR Spotless also has a resin filter exchange and the price is good. They'll send two new filters, two long and sturdy plastic bags, and a pre-paid return label. You can then return them in the same box.
Love my CR Spotless...I run a splitter at the inlet of my pressure washer so I can switch between regular and deionized.water...regular for pre-rinse and wash...deionized for final rinse...Makes it last much longer...
I bought one three years ago when I bought a 2019 black Ram 1500. I don't wash my vehicles that much so after three years my filters are still good. It's also great for washing the outside of the windows of you house. I am glad with the purchase and recommend as well.
Thanks for the real world feedback! 😁
This is definitely a fantastic unit for the home. Quality seems top notch. Great video pan. 👍🇨🇦
Thanks!
I use the Griots Garage single tank setup. I love it. I get close to a full season of washing if I only use it to rinse.
Hey Pan! Thanks again for these awesome videos! I AM GETTING ONE OF THESE ASAP...I appreciate you and your videos...Your channel is the only detailing channel I watch sir...You DEFINITELY know your stuff my friend!!👍🏾
Thanks for the kind words and positive feedback Joey! What’s your favourite video on my channel so far?
@@PanTheOrganizer,
Well sir, I have a few favorite videos, but 1 of my favorites is your updated garage, & then there's the video when you 1st got that beautiful Porsche, & the video(s) where you explain the detail products you use & the best product for certain jobs... My friend, I could go on & on! Just know Pan I greatly respect you, I actually got some new items thanks to you, So I really appreciate your time to do these videos sir!👍🏾💯🚘🚗
Love your channel and I have learned so much from your videos. I recently retired after a career of teaching and I am getting into detailing cars. So far only for family and friends but we’ll see where it takes me. I really enjoy doing it. Two questions. What is the best way to clean the headliner? Also, do you ever use steam to clean tough areas on the vinyl or plastic interior parts?I would appreciate your expert advice. Thanks
ZeroWater filter pitchers use the exact same resin based filtering, just on a much smaller scale. You get to know that "fishy" smell very well. It's even worse when you're going to drink it.. 😁 Cool video, thanks Pan! 👍👌✌
In the UK, Raceglaze do a water filter filled with resin. I’ve had one for some years now and it makes a heck of a difference. No trying required so less swirl marks.
I’ve been on the fence about buying one of these for years. Thanks for doing an overview Pan.
Now you know! ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer can you make a video or perhaps guide me to some video or link that can show me how to connect a pressure washer to this car spotless DIC 20. Thank you Pan.
I'm definitely getting one if I ever get my garage cleaned out
Just got this bad boy a few weeks ago and it was a game changer. Great review Pan!
Thanks Rex! Did you have hard water issues before?
Thanks for the demonstration & review. I had been skeptical of this unit because a lot of the reviews say the resin was too expensive and ran out super quickly. But as Pan is my true father , I will buy this deionizer…
I’m still new to this DI system so I will see how long it lasts. I wash my car twice weekly. But one of my viewers told me he washes his car 1-2 times per week and his resin lasts 11 months.
@@PanTheOrganizer I look forward to the updates on longevity. 300 gallons sounds like a lot , would be interesting to measure water usage during a wash
We have a reverse osmosis system at the fire station. It’s nice not even having to dry anything.
My station barely has water hose nozzles or hoses that reach the front of the truck lol
What is that guys?
@@erickposada6772 it’s an unbelievably expensive system. Can’t imagine how it’s justified but I also don’t know the situation to be completely honest.
I bet they have to keep your gear looking and working , valves, gauges, etc..... But its great if they let you use it . 👍👍
Culligan Water installed my DI system years ago but commented not many home owners have them. They are usually for factories making electronic parts. I have three 4’ tanks and a dedicated spigot running outside. I use a pressure washer because it uses less water. I have well water (dirty hard water) and a water softener. The DI system I use for the whole wash, not just rinse. Suds are heavy, but the best part is if you don’t towel dry, you still will not have spots with Di, demineralization water. Amazing but true. I wash my Harley road king, lots of chrome, no spots even when left soaking wet to dry.
Thanks for the review! Very nice system… especially with it being portable!
Thanks Kyle!
Christmas present to me coming soon 😀 Was just wanting to see a video on this very topic, came just in time. Thanks.
👍🏻
Wow!!! Very low cost!!!!!!!! I want one of these so bad. I haven't tried anything like this since the "Mr Clean Auto Dry" :)
I thought about getting one of those a while back, I'm glad you are testing this system out! I'd love to hear from you how long it lasted. As always, thanks for the great videos!
Thanks Allen
Hi Pan, new subscriber learning all the new ways to detail. This new process saves so many hours!!! I haven't detailed professionally for about 20 years, wow how things have changed! Your channel has helped tremendously. I do not intend to start a steady streaming business detailing, just a few cars a month maybe. QUESTION: I like the idea of not buying deionized water, but was curious if I don't have a high volume of vehicles if I can simply leave this system full of water for long periods, (months), or will the filtering particles break down over that kind of time? Thank you for your response, and for your excellent training and product reviews!

Thanks for the review. Definitely would reduce wash process time - spotlessly. Will seriously consider, I’m tire of getting up early to wash the cars to beat the sun. Take care
Thanks Steve!
Pan, great choice; I’ve own mine now for four years. Have a great weekend buddy.
Thanks William! How often do you change your resin and how often do you wash your car?
@@PanTheOrganizer I change it about every 3-months.
I’ve been debating whether I should pick one of these up for a while now. Thanks for doing a review Pan!
👍🏻
If you have the money then do it. It’s amazing. When I work at dealerships is amazing to not need to dry the cars
@@RamseyAutoPros the turn off for me was definitely the price point. I didn’t really mind the initial investment of buying the deionizer, but the price of replacing the resin would definitely rack up over time. I only detail my own car, so it didn’t really seem worth the money to invest in this
@@Coderedpirate wash your car with regular water. Do your final rinse with DI water
@@RamseyAutoPros I live in Vegas so in the summer we regularly go over 100 degrees, plus we have extremely hard water. Do you think this'll degrade the deionizer quickly? I like the idea of just using DI water as a finisher though, definitely makes a lot of sense
I have the Simple Chuck version of this which is also through CR Spotless. My water tds can range anywhere between 240 - 310 ppm. I was in love after first use. I use it as a thorough pre rinse and wash my wheels/tires, then I do the rest with the rinseless wash method.
Thanks for the awesome video Pan. I noticed that the DIC-10 is listed for $500, $90 more than the larger version, so it wouldn't make any sense to purchase the smaller unit. I really need one of these for the south Florida climate.
If you have hard water issues yup this will solve that.
Nice unit. I'm on a well with pretty rusty (but potable) water so it goes through a standard water softener and a GE 9" whole house filter.
I'm wondering if the resin can't be flushed, just as happens in the water softener? That's the reason you have to add salt or potassium chloride. it periodically backwashes the resin beads to strip off the minerals they accumulate. Anyone with one of these units knows that changing out the resin beads is something you rarely do. In my case I inherited this unit when I bought the house ten years ago and I see no reason still to worry about their effectiveness.
Merci pour la revue, Pan.
Thanks Pan. Great review. I've had the DIC-20 for about 2 years. Just a note that CR does sell (or did) a bypass system that allows you to switch from DI to regular water. This really saves on the cost of resin. Problem is their bypass system leaks and I reached out to CR, got a replacement and that one similarly leaked. So, my only criticism is that because there is no effective bypass system, the user needs to be prepared for the cost of replacing resin often (I get about 15 washes before my indicator goes from 0 to 1 or more...my water is considered very hard at 185 mg/L...so that seems to reduce the amount of uses I get from a resin change). To me it does not matter because water spots are horrible to get rid of even with a polisher so I consider the cost worth it to save the paint and the headaches.
Thanks for the feedback Kirk!
Have you figured out how much life the CR spotless filters get if you use RO water as a feed water?
@@MercedesMechanic I did check. My water is fairly hard (187 ppm) so when I used the DIC for a full wash, I only received about 10 washes. With the price of media pretty high that can be a bit over the top. But, rushing to finish to beat water spots is worse. Obsessed Garage came out with a bypass solution that I'm using now. Once you set it up it has worked well and that has doubled my use before having to change media. I use the DI water for rinses only and it works fine.
Final rinse is the only thing that makes sense with the cost of DI water but I’m going to go a step further and reverse osmosis my water first sometime in the next two weeks once I get all the research done of what I need. The reverse osmosis will get my water TDS down to around 5 because I have one for drinking water currently and 5 is what it’s doing now from 350 TDS all the way down to 5. So I’m getting a second one for car rinse water to then make DI water for final rinse. However for the car, I learned that a 75 GPD membrane in the RO system will not make as much waste water as my current drinking water system does, that one makes 4 gallons of waste water to clean one gallon for drinking. My new system should waste only 1 gallon per one gallon of clean water. I’ll then put the water in a 50 gallon pressure tank and hook a hose to that. As I hose off my car after washing, the water level drops inside the tank which then turns on the supply to the reverse osmosis system hence filling the tank back up. Only caveat to this is the RO system will take all day to produce 50 gallons of spot free water. I’ll only use about 5-10 gallons though but then I won’t use anymore until my next wash or a between wash rinse off. Only thing I still have to find out is how long the DI cartridge on the RO stem will last. The place I’m buying it says it should last at least 250 gallons, then I’ll change it for $30. So based on what it actually does, I may get a CR spotless which should last me a year if not longer using it only as rinse water. If anyone reading this knows something I don’t please let me know as I’m still planning how to set it up.
I have been detailing 22 years and picked one of these up 5 yrs ago. I am SO mad at myself for not having found this sooner. I always hated the drying process and know how drying can introduce swirls, etc. This is like magic to me!
Absolutely!
I currently use the simple Chuck system that is great and very easy to use. Also made by the same company. Just posted a video on my channel last week showing examples of how the water dries vs hose water. Great company and products
Cool!
I have really really hard water, I bought one of these a couple years ago and it worked for 2 car washes... thats it. Now I have a reverse osmosis 35 gallon water system and it works perfectly. I have used it for the last 2 years.
Same here, it's insane. I'd be replacing resin every week. What system do you have? I reached out to US Watersystems for a quote once, but it still seemed too pricey. I've been using distilled water for years with a ghetto worx battery "pressure washer" does the job, but not sure of it being truly deposit free. It is a $1/gallon so all in all, not a killer.
Check out Suds and Go , how he set up his trailer for D.I water using RV modes conversion. Also check out when he opens the back door.
Thank you very much Pan, this is just what I need. Also, do you mind to make a video on water pretreatment systems as they are crucial for the wastewater bylaw?
Thanks for watching
Great video! Been using a RV water filter attached to my Sun Joe pressure washer but I may upgrade to this.
Thanks!
I've had that unit for years and don't use it much because the resin is too expensive. I wash with regular water then rinse with this. If you use this to wash it lasts about 10-12 washes. I also use it to wash my solar panels along with a 50ft hose on my pressure washer.
Great review! I have the On the Go Duel Bed Standard Deionizer that I use for a final rinse. I had my water go from 425ppm down to 0ppm!
Thanks! Yeah water deionizer systems really make a huge difference on water quality.
Yet it needs to be replaced at 0,1ppm already??
It takes a while to get there hehe. It can treat up to 300 gallons of water! A viewer of mine has one and told me it took 11 months before he had to change the resin and he washes his car 1 to 2 times per week.
Ive got 275ppm at home. With 425 at urs how long did this last you before swappin the resin out??
What’s up Pan from Mexico 🇲🇽 ! My TDS in my water is 325 PPM and I get a DI system, I had to change the resin every 4 washes and it was very expensive, so I did some research and installed a reverse osmosis system and a 50 liter pressurized tank (16 galons, just for rinse, foam, rinse and rinse the soap, 2 buckets method). With this system I got down to 4 PPM, then hooked it up to my reverse DI system and it went down to 0 PPM. Now I have 6 months without changing the resin (0 PPM) and I already recovered the money from the reverse osmosis system.
Interesting! Looks like you had pretty hard water to start with.
DI water is awesome for washing, especially a black car. I got the Simple Chuck version from CR Spotless, works great and no more spots.
Yup!
Pan How are you Carlos from Top Dog Mobile Detailing in Land O lakes Fl this water system has been great so far,,,, thank you for showing it on your video
Fantastic!
Nice succinct review. Tried a similar system that did as claimed, however where I live if left wet outside once dried the water droplets had accumulated dust, pollen, bugs, and whatever else was floating about in the environment somewhat defeating the purpose. For the non garaged, daily driven car it was not the economical solution hoped for unfortunately. For prized garage queens not requiring weekly washings or a professional detailer it’s a great solution as it does offer a competitive advantage/time efficient alternative to other drying methods. Thanks for continually interesting content. Cheers.
Thanks Steve!
Love it pan always have great products 😎👍
Hey Pan! I was looking into a cheap method for getting clean mineral free water for my wash buckets and I came across the Sawyer TAP filter. From what I’ve seen it has close to a 2GPM flow rate and can connect straight to a hose bib. I was planning on testing one on the end of my bucket filler as part of my wall mount system. The flow rate is cutting it too close to try with my Active 2.0, but it’s enough for filling buckets and possibly a K1700/similar entry level pressure washer with a lower flow rate.
Thanks Pan. I didn’t know a system like that existed. Good to know.
We always learn new things. ;)
@@PanTheOrganizer Thats for sure, for me a weekend warrior, and a black car I always use a chamois or towel to try it as I dont want water spots!
Great review as always, Pan. I bought this same unit years ago, but I'd recommend using for a final rinse only. The resin gets consumed fairly quickly when using for all steps of a wash and lasted 3, maybe 4 washes before I noticed spots after drying. The replacement resin is somewhat pricey, so using it sparingly as a final rinse only is advised. I live in Florida with notoriously hard water which is a pain, but a home softener system will definitely help prolong the resin as you say.
Thanks for your input!
a water softener won t help to increase the life of the Demineralisation resin. Water softener is just a ion exchanger, so the TDS is the same as the TDS that came in the softner. You just exchange calcium with sodium, that is easier to take off by itself, and don't make a very hard deposit.
@@sebastienlemoine8491 What if I run it through a carbon filter then RO ? will that extend the life
@@fishmonger6879 you must have an activated carbon filter before RO (most non industrials units have it usualy) because chlorine will destroy the membranes. So it will increase in a way the RO life, but it is mandatory
Pre-filter the water with carbon and UV to increase the filter duration.
Found a new use for my RODI machine for my saltwater fish tanks! Always have 25 gallons waiting
👍🏼 Had one for years. It’s so easy to them wash your car 👍🏼
Absolutely!
Hey Pan, I heard your take on drying aids. But what about rinsing aides? I recently came across a product you can use/spray on that will help alleviate water spotting when drying the car.
I have a customized ro system which produces very very low tds water which I use for foam cannon, 2 bucket hand wash and final rinse. Which gives spotless wash and rich foam with the shampoo.. DI resins are pretty costly. So the very low tds ro water does the tricks for me. Nice video..
Thanks Kausik
Definitely need one of these. Thanks Pan!
👍🏻
I have the CR Spotless DIC-20 that I have used for years. The pressure washer I use has a output of 1.3GPM which in turns gives me about 3.84 hours of use. That might seem like a lot of time but using it to wash 3-4 vehicles a week at my house hold I find I am replacing the resin filters every 3 months at $119 ($480 for the year) for the two filter exchanges from CR Spotless. It does work great and as advertised.
Good to know thanks for your input!
So it’s a cation resin upstream of an anion resin. Always wondered what they put in those filter housings. Cool.
Have to get one of these now that I’m detailing my Tesla on the regular
Let’s watch this awesome video fellas! Something we have all waited for
Ok
Totally!
I would love to see a video of your home system and the maintenance on it
I use the replacement cartridges vs the resin bag. Real easy, a little more $ but worth to not worry about measuring
I agree. I prefer replacement cartridges too.
Enjoyed this video. I am in the process of gathering the parts to do a wall mount solution for my pressure washer. I bought a shelf and Cox reel from Obsessed Garage, but wanted to see what you thought of the CR Spotless before buying. It’s hard to wash my car outside since it is sunny all day and I do not want to wait until the sun goes down. I put a lot of stock in what you have to say. Thanks!

@@PanTheOrganizer can't wait to see your next video
I live in Phoenix where water can dry on the car by the time I get from one side to the other, so I use DI water for my entire process. That said, the CR Spotless cartridges simply don't last long enough to justify their cost. Phoenix water is also extremely hard with typical reading well over 500. I had to build my own system and go through the ordeal of having to empty my resin tank manually. Still worth it and cheaper than the CR Spotless solution..
Hi Pan. Very nice video! My only concern with your demo is the home system you already have that actually serves as a pretreatment stage for the CR deionized system. This could be a real difference compared with having hard water entering directly from the house supply. I think this is a more real life scenario in our homes. Thanks for the demo!
Good idea Pan. Portable as well. I take it you set it up between your Kranzle and your water outlet. Any idea if exported to Australia and est cost in $US?
Thanks I sure will be investing in this equipment thanks for sharing 👉👍
My pleasure Armando!
hey @PanTheOrganizer great video as always 👍🏻 Besides this unit shown in the video; are there any other good compact, a bit less inexpensive alternatives? My garage is small, and I find challenging adding more equipment. 😊
Here is a good compact way less expensive alternative : amzn.to/4ctuXG2
That should be good for 400 gallons of water, which is a lot.
Another good bang for buck: amzn.to/4eQBsnG
And probably the best compact unit if your budget allows: amzn.to/3zoDcVc
I hope this helps!
I have a TDS of 500 out of the tap, so I’d only get about 80-90 gallons of deionized water before needing to replace the resin. Important to note that a water softener does not lower TDS, it just replaces Calcium/Magnesium with a sodium compound. TDS remains the same, I’ve tested.
I’m still considering getting one of these just for my final rinse. That should get me about 10-15 washes.
What a cool device! Great, information packed video Pan!
Thanks Konsta!
@@PanTheOrganizer 👍🏻
Great video once again, Pan!
Thanks Declan!

Hello, i just ordered the Eley hose nozzle for the CR Spotless system. How many gallons per minute is the output on that nozzle? Thanks!
Pan do you have a list of your top products that you use every wash? Man I'm so overwhelmed by the amount of companies to choose from. Of course I want to use the best stuff but it's really hard to just pick a company and go with it. Thanks man your videos are on point.
I have a yearly awards video showcasing my top picks in each category here: czcams.com/video/LkD22UGujmw/video.html
And here’s how I typically wash my car: czcams.com/video/7Koj5j2Es5U/video.html
I’ve been using this system for several years. Now I buy resin in bulk and no longer buy the CR cartridges. You only need it for the final rinse. If you use it for first rinse and washing (foam), you can burn up a set of cartridges in one or two washes, depending on how hard your water feed is. Get their by-pass system.
Where do you get your resin from and how much do you pay? I'm paying around $90 for a 5 gallon bucket from a local guy. Pretty sure he buys by the barrel and repackages. Is the resin you buy identical to the CR resin? The stuff I get is a bit larger in bead size, but seems to perform just the same.
I also would like to know where you get your resin from.

I understand the idea behind the CR Spotless, but I find it obscure the price to pay for the system and the resin bags to refill. If your a non-business detailer and mostly work for the fun of it, it aint such a bad option I guess, but as a business it is too expensive with the alternatives out there. Here in SoCal it is easy to find a local detail supply shop that lets you rent tanks and swap them whole when used. In my area, it is about $200 for a medium tank (400-500 Gallons Output) and each swap is $50, so business wise this is a much better option if I am being real here.
Also, nice video pan! Always keeping the Turbo S lookin fresh!
Good point for detailing shops Cardo!
Salut Pan. Merci pour cette nouvelle. Un bon produit pratique et utile. A bientôt Cousin
Oui en effet. Fini les cernes d’eau pour ceux qui ont des problèmes d’eau calcaire.
Yes, hard water resides in our system. Very good review, Pan! Maybe I'll pull the trigger on one of these in 2022. Thank You!
Thanks Jay!
@@PanTheOrganizer You're welcome! I hope all is well.
Thanks Pan for the info, blessings!
My pleasure Peter! Have a great day.
Nice! I'm just a super picky diy guy, so idk I'll have to think about it, because I don't actually clean anything other than my own vehicles.
it's perfect for that, especially if you are "super picky"
Hi Pan! Can you do a review on the new Waterdrop DI spotless system that came out Sept 1, 2023? It’s cheaper and on a discount at this time. Probably compare it to other DI spotless systems? Thanks!
Salut Pan
Merci pour ta chaîne CZcams c’est trop cool 👍👍👍👍
Est-ce possible de faire la même vidéo en français? Bravo pour tout ce que tu fais ! Raph - Swiss
THERE ARE SO MANY LEVELS TO THIS CAR DETAILING BUSINESS. TOP MARKS PAN 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yeah there are many things to think of. Thanks Harlem!
Most of it has unfortunately become smoke and mirrors. A proper drying aid, like the ones used in tunnel washes, will cost about $20 for 10 gallons and give you plenty of time to dry your car. If you're detailing as a business then this is, after the initial purchase of $410, $120 per 300 gallons, which is only about 30 vehicles if your mindful of water usage, or $4 per car when you could use 15c worth of drying aid for the same end result.
Edit: Even better, I'm seeing comments of 5-20 washes. Absolutely nuts. $6-$24 per wash. You'd be better off going to a mega mart and just buying RO water at .25 a gallon.
@@datguy4104 That is an interesting point
Thank you for answering my question!! I’ll be buying this today!!
My pleasure Jose!
Awesome system! Welcome to the club! I'm surprised it took you this long...🤷🏻♂️The Porsche say Thanks daddy! 💋💋💋💋
Hehe thanks! I have a brand new home with a water softener so never really had water spotting issues. But the DI system is next level for sure.
Hello Pan.
Thanks again for this interesting video.
Any solution to purchase this equipment for french people or any other equivalent equipment that you would recommend?
Thanks for your help!
As tu trouvé un équivalent depuis?
J'ai bien vu le système anglais de chez cyclone car care mais une galère à se procurer. Merci
I was going to use this tip in a video for detailers' tips and tricks, but I am horrible at videos.
You can pick up a ScaleRX de-ionizer for $80-$120 USD and adapt it to fit your system. Much cheaper for the beginning business budget for a detailer and it eliminates 76% of the minerals that will cause water spots. You can also use the ScaleRX in front of your current DI system and it should lessen the filter replacement times, and it says it can last up to 10 years.
Im detailing out of my truck which is a low profile setup. My question is can I just buy the water deionizer system for my house, hook it up to the spigot, and then just run a hose to fill up my water tank? Would that be the best thing for me to do if I want deionized water/cost effective? My tank is only 68 gallons
Will be buying one this week 😃
Might wanna read some of the reviews on Amazon first. Look at the negatives which talk about cost of replacement filters and the system is $400 and last around 7-8 washes which average around $55 or so dollars a wash. Im sure you could hire a neighbor kid to dry your car for way cheaper than that
I only use this for a final rinse. Replacing the resin is not cheap.
Here's a different question for you... How do I stop my glass deck railing from fogging up every evening. Any type of exterior glass cleaner or anti fog product for that? It fogs up for about 14hrs per day...
Have you considered using a water meter of some sort to see how many gallons of deionized water you actually get versus what they claim? I have been eyeing this for over a year now. Great review, as usual!
No I’m not going to waste time or energy calculating that. When it needs to be changed I’ll change it.
Another great video Pan. Always appreciated. What might be the best way to incorporate this type of device with a mobile detailing business that might not have access to running water?
Thanks Chris! If you own a mobile detailing business, mobile detailers usually fill their water tanks at home with deionized water before they go out on the job. That way they can work with DI water all day without the need to access a supply of water on the job site.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks for the reply! So these tanks can be filled ahead of time (at my home/office) and then simply transported to the site, ready to go? that's fantastic. I just wasn't sure about their storing ability or if they simply needed a water supply to run through it.
Thanks for your professional tube .i would like to hear your opinion or if you can make video test about the best cordless pressure water.thank you
Thanks
Pan my soft water has tds of 400. Is it better to deionize soft or hard water if tds is the same.
Awesome video and product review good friend. Those water softener are amazing and so expensive imo.b well good friend
Thanks Richard!
