  • If you have $400 burning a hole in your pocket, this is the Deionizing System for you
UPDATE: After 3 months of use my TDS meter has gone from 000 to 007. I do not have a good idea of how many washes I have on the first two cartridges. I have ordered 4 more bags of resin which I think gives me 2 refills. I've also ordered an inline gallon meter so I can see exactly how many gallons between resin changes. Best I can estimate is I have about 20 car washes (2 cars) and 4 Large motorhome washes. Im assuming I'll get another couple of washes in, so maybe 30 uses and it's about $100 per recharge using CR Spotless resin. So maybe $3 per use? I'Ve been using the DI rinse pretty liberally so far. I think I'll set up a second hose for the initial wash and soap rinse off and just use the DI for a final rinse. Also need to make sure I'm not getting alge growth. I have 2 cars and a motorhome and I like washing them. They are all dark, metallic colors and I don't have a nice shady spot to wash them in. Being in Florida the sun can dry the car surface way before you can dry it by hand, leaving hard water spots that are make the car look worse than when you started. I'd been looking into building my own DI system for a while, but my time is limited and I could not find a good DYI project to copy. Another problem is that DI systems are lost in the noise of all the BS surrounding home water treatment systems which I mostly view as a scams. As usual, I figured the only way to know for sure would be to buy one, try it out and if it just doesn't work, send it back. I ordered the CR systems (the large one) which uses mixed bead deionizing cartridges. The cartridges are replaceable, or you can buy new mixed bead resin for around $40/cartridge. $80 sounds like a lot depending on how often you have to recharge your system and since I just got mine I have no idea how long these will last. Let me get the punch line out first. The system works great! I washed my Honda and Lexus and left them in the morning sun to dry. No spots at all. I washed the fender of my son's truck (dark charcoal) and rinsed it with the CR and let it dry. Then I sprayed about half of the area with normal untreated water and let that dry. See the attached picture for the results. The photo isn't great, but you can see on the left side obvious spots and nothing on the right side. The question of course is how long the systems will last before needing new resin beads. The manual says you should get between 800 and 1300 gallons per charge. We'll see. Another problem I've read about is that if you leave water in the system too long (I have no idea what "too long" means, algae grows and ruins the resin beads). Since I wash cars once a week, I'm hoping this won't be a problem. I also think the life of the beads has to do with how hard you water is and what types of contaminants are in there. I've just installed a new water softener for the house, so I'm assuming this will help increase the life between resin changes. As far as the design and construction of the system itself I'd give the manufacture an A all the way around. The unit is on a nicely built tube cart with wheels. It seems to be very well balanced and I don't think it will tip over very easily. All the parts appear well engineered and built well. The only problem is a slight leak at where you have to install the hose inlets and outlets. The manual says to put at least two wraps of teflon tape on the threads (tape is supplied, and I put 3 wraps on). But water still dribbles out of the connection a bit. I'm going to take it apart and put another wrap or two of teflon and try it again. Obviously this is an "out of the box" review with one day's use on it. I will update as I go. ... show more

  • DIC-20 CR Spotless Water Deionization Systems
Surprisingly fast shipping. Arrived in Texas in 2.5 days from order. After lots of hesitation regarding price, and all alternatives, I committed as a best choice for combating our ever decreasing local water quality - surface water, highly alkaline with good healthy minerals, but ever worsening stubborn water spots on anything, especially a dark vehicle First impression, high quality, high quality, well though out. Nice package, boxed extremely well to protect product during shipment. Only con is the immediate strong odor reminiscent of entry into a harbor freight store due to the imported rubber tires on the caddy. (Left them out in the direct sun for 10 days to outgas / air out prior storing in the garage) Will follow up after some use. _______________________________________ Follow Up after 6-7 uses. Why oh why didn't I now about this and do this long before I did???? In spite of the resin costs and the threat of algae growth here in the South, this makes washing my vehicles enjoyable again. As other reviewers have mentioned repeatedly, time savings plus quality of completed project plus the elimination of water spot build up is without question very cost effective to me. Added quick disconnects and 1/2 RV drinking water quality hose, make this truly so easy to use / why the hec didn't I do this sooner - experience each time I use it. ... show more

  • Best Purchase I’ve Made for My Car
Size: DIC-20
I purchased a new car about a year ago. It has matte paint so I did a lot of research around how to best care for matte paint. One of the most common themes was to be aware of how much pressure and rubbing you do on the paint in additional to using the appropriate products without fillers. My ultimate goal was to get to touch less drying of my car. By using this filtering system I don’t have to worry about rushing to dry the car with a towel. I can take my time and use a blower to blow dry the car without touching it. If the water dries before I get to it with a blow dryer, there are no water spots because this filter removes the solids from the water. I created a bypass for the filter using splitters and short hoses so that I can wash the car with regular water and then do final rinses with filtered water. This system has extended the life of the resin that came with the purchase. I still get a reading of zero and I’ve been using this for about 1 year now. For reference, I wash my car once or twice per week, so it gets used quite often. If you a DIY car wash person, I would highly recommend getting a system such as this. ... show more

  • Satisfied so far
Size: DIC-20
Portability is great. Solid build. Assembly was straightforward and fairly simple. The resin cartridge housings are a little heavy, and it is tricky to get the supplied housing wrench past the dolly wheels. Maybe I am unaware of a trick to doing this. No leaks. I used the system for the first time yesterday and I noticed a marked improvement in water spotting on my black cars vs straight well water. I suspect that the supply TDS affects results. I am a bit disappointed that resin only has a 1 year lifespan, and I am hoping I'll exhaust the included resin before then as I am curious about longevity in terms of number of washes. ... show more

  • Amazing but expensive and apparently explosive as well!
Size: DIC-20
I ordered mine back in February of 2022. When it first arrived I gave it a try and though I had just found the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to washing my car. If you live in a place where you have really hard water, like we do in Phoenix, this thing is just amazing. Makes car washing a breeze and cuts down my detailing time almost in half as I don’t have to go back and clean up a bunch of water spots. That was all at the outset and the honeymoon phase didn’t last all that long. I found that after just four washes I was getting a hardness reading well above 0 and started to see water spots. When you wash your car every other week that means these resin cartridges go quickly. I then ordered a set of replacement resin cartridges direct from the company, which mind you isn’t all that cheap. I put the new ones in no problem and was again super happy to be back to no water spots and an easy wash. Lo and behold about 4 washes later and the water spots returned and a high reading occurred. At this point I was on the search for a better solution and a way to get more washes for my money. I came across the RV Mod website that offers a conversion kit for this product where you can skip the resin cartridges and out resin directly in the canisters and get a bunch more uses out of the resin you put in there. I gave that conversion kit a try and it too worked great and once again I was super happy with my CR Spotless DIC-20, even if I had just spent yet another $200+ for the kit and resin. Fast forward to today and I was washing my car and was very happy with the results I was seeing. Car was super clean and I was able to just blow the water off with zero spots. As I continue to proceed with drying my car off all of the sudden there was a huge BOOM in the garage. Scared the ever living crap out of me! I then started looking around and what do I see…the DIC canister has exploded and water and resin was everywhere. Mind you I had the water turned off at the hose bib while I was drying the car so it’s not like water pressure continued to build up during that time. Have absolutely no clue what the actual cause of this was but extremely disappointed in the fact that this occurred, regardless if I had “modded” it to use the conversion kit. Something like that shouldn’t have happened and I’m just glad neither myself or my wife or kids happened to be standing next to it. All in all, a cool product but not worth the cost that the resin refills cost as well as the fact that this didn’t even last me a year before the plastic canister blew up on me. ... show more

  • I'm very disappointed...
Size: DIC-20
I am very disappointed in myself for not buying this sooner. I have been a hobbyist detailer since I could help my dad apply and remove wax (for about 30 years). For a little over a year back in 2010 I detailed professionally. I never did break down and buy a CR spotless system because I thought the price was too high for the potential reward. A few weeks ago I washed my car and despite my best efforts ended up with very bad water spotting. Lots of rain lately has made our water mineral rich I assume, and the full sun was making it tough too. That's what broke me, and I ordered one the next day. What I failed to understand most perhaps is the time you save by not having to constantly fight against the sun to keep the vehicle wet or to dry constantly as you go, and then not having to dry the vehicle off afterwards. That will make up for the cost to me alone. I did 3 washes with this the first time I hooked it up (in full sun, 77° weather) and I didn't dry any of them. All three finished flawlessly. I can honestly say the best washes I have ever had (and that's probably at least 1,000). On top of that, my black/polished very intricate and hard to clean wheels have absolutely never looked better. I only use high end products (as in typically not available in stores) and even with that and heavy rinsing and scrubbing every nook, cranny and surface of the wheel inside and out have never seen them be so clean with just a wash. The only difference is the CRS. To say I am very pleased with the product is an understatement. I encourage you if you like to keep your vehicles clean to buy one now. The system is very easy to use, and it will save tons of time. ... show more
