RV Washing using Di-water for great results
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2024
- We have been using the CR Spotless DI water system for over a year and the results have been great, but the down side has always been that the resin uses up too quickly and this gets real expensive. So we now manufacture a new system that uses the same DI resin but produces around 10 times the amount of DI water. So if you want to convert your CR Spotless system to make it more efficient visit our website to see how it's done.If you prefer to order the best Di water system on the market then visit: rv-mods.com
Thank you, I ordered the conversion kit. I would swear you are "Father Brown."
Thank you for the great video on the DI water system!! I had already purchased the CR Spotless system and then that same day came across the website of you showing the Pro 100! I didn't realize the resin would not last that long and was upset that I had just purchased the CR unit and there was the Pro 100 that would do 10 times the volume of DI water for $100 more!! I promptly CANCELLED my order of the CR spotless and today I ordered the Pro 100!! I work in the Water/Wastewater industry and wanted something I could use for cleaning the cars/trucks we own as well as the windows of the house. I used water softeners that were not DI (not with ion exchange resin) which were using salt for regeneration and unfortunately they leave salt spots on the vehicle afterwards. Since I am currently working at a wastewater plant I have access to a lab, and I am going to research how to regenerate the resin so I do not have to keep buying new resin. If anyone has a good way to do it I am all ears! Anyway, thanks for the video and for the great product. I cannot wait to get it and start using it!
mate, you are doing very good work of educating us younglings. may you and your beautiful wife enjoy more RV adventures. thank you
Glen...Love your videos which are very informative and useful. We recently purchased an Anthem and bought the Pro 100. Just wanted to bring it to your attention that in the video, you have your valve positions backwards for deionized water/raw water. The valves should be pointed TOWARDS the tank for a spotless clean and toward one another for bypass of the resin. We did a trial run on our F 150 toad and using your valve positions, the toad was covered in spots. Reversed the position of the valves and obtained fantastic results.
Hi Jane, Yes I realized after I had filmed this but most of our videos are a one-take affair so didn't want to do it again. I'm glad you like your Pro100 thats what we use and it's brill.
Once again you knocked it out of the ball park .I think its time for you and Julie to teach Entegra a few lessons on making a better product at this point you have to know more then they do .
Glen Glen Glen.... I'm ROFL with Julie! You always make me laugh! Seriously though, once again, I can't thank you enough for all your work into the research that you guys do to make this RV experience just so much better. Thanks for sharing all this valuable knowledge and information with your viewers. Honestly I was just getting ready to purchase the blue one from Sams Club! But now, I'm certainly going to order this new updated version! Probably the smallest one. You guys are awesome! Thanks 🙏🏻 again! and always... I'm always looking forward for the next update...... Wishing you and miss Julie happy and safe travels.
Cheers for that, the small one is awesome as you will get enough resin for 4000 gallons and the unit will take 1/2 cu ft per refill so you'll have enough resin in the small Pro 50 for 2000 gallons (20 washes) this knows spots off the old spotless thing
Well, thank you for that. The Boss (Julia will be in in a couple of weeks so I had better start tiding up !!!! When you order the PRO 50 you will thank me for months to come, it's brilliant. We also are making a video soon on a RV water softner which will blow the competition away.
Great Escape how long can you go without using it before alge or bacteria starts to form inside?
New subscriber, been binge watching your channel for 2 days now, so I am 10 months behind on your videos but will catch up to present by the week end(5/07) Cant help but love your "dry" humor, just like my retired family Doctor, yes hes English too.
Well I hope you enjoy watching the rest.
Thank you so much for this video. I have the same spot less system that I use for window washing. It fits great in my small work van perfectly so I'll be definitely getting the conversion tubes. Super cool. We full time RV as well. Our site is modern day gypsies. Again thank you for the info.
I'm a weekend warrior. I wash three cars and a motorcycle. I bought the conversion kit for the blue tube CR spotless. It's exceeded my expectations and has done everything this Bloke claims. It's saved me countless hours of backbreaking drying and money in resin. cars and motorcycle have never looked better. Thank you for your video, it's much appreciated!
Thank you for your review, it's much appreiated.
Great video of a system most folks have never heard of! No more water spots!!!
It really is so easy washing the RV now: more details can be found on: www.RV-mods.com
Just washed a RAM 1500 black edition and Ford Raptor this weekend with my DI Rinse Pro100. Get it! Great investment for any car if you care to preserve the paint. I rinse the black RAM off and let it dry by the sun and there's not water spot!!!
Glen, I don't want to come off like a know it all, but, I have been using DI water since 1985. I was first introduced to DI bottle in 1985 because one of the machines I was using used DI water as a di-electric. I am a Tool & Die Maker by trade (retired now) and the machine was an Agie CNC (computer numerical controlled) Wire EDM (electrical discharge machine). I have been rinsing off my vehicles (spot free) since. Not sure if you know or not but the resin can be cleaned and used again and again. I took my resin to Culligan but there are others that will re-generate it as well. It's a lot cheaper than buying virgin resin.
Great tip!!
My understanding about non virgin resin is that it does not last as long.
D C not worth the hassle just use new virgin resin, plus it won’t
Always a pleasure, always entertaining!
Thanks for posting!
Don
mate, you are doing very good work. may you and your beautiful wife enjoy more RV adventures. thank you
Good video. I have a water softener at home, and to bypass you point the arrows at each other, to soften you have one arrow pointing in and the other out. Think you did it in reverse. Good info though!
OK I said I would update my last post so here it is... After reading my post Glenn contacted me right away, Thank you I appreciate that. So I figured out my issue, its in the valving. There are no instructions so you have to play with it to get your DI water. Both valves say only off and there is also a bypass for non DI water to come through. I think I had DI water and non DI water mixing to give me the spots I was getting from the water. Im still not sure if it matters which inlet I use for incoming water. I thought I read somewhere that it better to have water come from te bottom that way all the water will pass by the media. Anyway, washed my truck today and I must say Im quite impressed. We have very hard water and it was nice to not have all those spots and have to race around to dry it. Its a big truck!! Glenn, If you could clear up for me about which inlet is better that would be great. Also, it would be nice to have some instructions on the positioning of the valves. With that said it works!!! Buy it!!!
Hi Jo
I will be contacting you this week and you'll be pleased to know that I am in the process of re-writing the instruction so that others do not have the same initial problem, that you experienced. I love this product and really stand behind the product and the company that produces it. Thanks again for hanging in there until we worked it out.
As a soon to be new RV’er, thanks for all the tips. Enjoyed your videos.
Love your posts!! I've been a professional window cleaner for 20+ years and used all type of D.I. systems. Never heard of a tank you describe delivering 4000 gals of pure water.
We even pre filter the in coming water and the most we have ever received is about 2000 gals, and at that point the meter starts reading 003 - 005, which is still good but not a 000.
(i'm in So. Calif and the water is not that hard, about 020 - 030. ) I would suggest you put on a "gal. water flow" on the incoming connection and see/monitor the TDS at that point.
Happy RVing.
You should be good up to around 15-20.
Glen, you should have your own show with Julie, of course, as you two are hilarious while being so informative. LMAO '-)
I tell you I love your videos I love listening to you guys you're a great couple God bless and enjoy yourself
Thanks Norman
We love hearing comments like yours.
I bought the same setup and I was living in NY at the time where the TDS was 117 going to the filter and the media was $150.00 and it took a while to replace it when the TDS reading hit 56 from 0 that I was getting with the new media. Now I live in Florida and the TDS here is 385 and system brings it down to around 5TDS but the media just doesn't last long and on top of that, the media prices has skyrocketed so now I just use the system as a door stopper, its just to costly to run here in florida or anywhere else where the TDS reading of the water before the filter is over 120.. Great system but way too costly to run. I now wash the vehicle with the 385TDS water and use a blower to dry it off quickly with no water spots, or pull it my vehicles (Ford Mustang and F150 Raptor) into the garage and dry it off 1 at a time.
I suppose it's down to expectations. The reason that people purchase our system is that it's cheaper than having to get a paint shop to cut and polish your paintwork due to the calcium eating into your clear coat. Also there are many way in which you can make your resin last longer. The problem is that people take no notice and use a ridiculous amount of water pressure which does knock out the resin quicker. I am still using the same resin that I filled my unit with 2 years ago and I wash 2 vehicles per week, every week.
For those of you that might want to know I just did this to my CR spotless unit. Same sized as in video the larger one.... one 20lb or .50 cubic foot bag fills up these blue cartridges perfectly. Idk how long it will last in comparison to the cartridges but we shall see.
Well??
@@ec-uploads seems to be working fine.. still at 0PPM according to my TDS meter. I was one car every 2 weeks or so and only use the DI for my final rinse off.
You don't need a hose cap. Just turn the values to by-pass when storing and nothing will leak out. I would strap it to a dolly. Makes it easier to move and won't roll when in storage.
Hi Roy
I meant to mention this when I made the video, but impossible to change once I've filmed it as we only do one take. But when spotted and good to know
Excellent, love it...if the sun is out lets clean...we should found a Rv care lodge for people like to wash Rvs and other toys...my biggest challenge is wind shield inside cleaning...I hate it
I always learn from your video. Great information and great entertainment too. Wish to watch more often. Thanks
Just ordered one, look forward to using it
You'll love it. The only problem you'' have is that you we want to start washing all of your neighbours vehicles
I would not go that far ! lol lol thank you for the video on this@@GreatEscape24
Purchased the adapter tubes for the CR-120 spotless system and a bag of resin. Hopes was to get more life out of the resin. While I do believe the tubes will produce a better result the resin from this company is horrible. Only got 5 car washes out of the resin. Reached out to Glenn to trouble shoot and all he could come up with was user error. I then removed the tubes and used the inner cartridge from the CR-120 system with a new supply of resin from RV-MODS. Results were worse. Brought this forward and the company would not stand behind their product. Switched back to getting my resin from CR Spotless System.
Glenn great product you never stop amazing me with your videos great info
OK I am only 37 seconds into this video, THANK YOU for not have some annoying music playing I want to hear what YOU have to say,
As usual an other very instructive video from you part. Thanks a lot.
That's what we're here for
Love the out take! You two are too funny...cheers!
And we hadn't had 1 drink!
Awesome video,and great tips,Thanks
This is brilliant. Thanks.
Bought one LOVE IT !
Thanks a bunch, please give me your advice on a water filter system that includes a softener, thanks
ow many gallons do you have to run thru the system, after soaping with hard water, before you get back to zero dissolved solids when turning the valves back on for the tank? Running a few priming gallons thru everytime to get to zero dissolved solids seems a little waststeful, hopefully not too much has to pass thru, right ? Curious if you measured that too (or can and comment), tks.
Great video and a funny outtake! Greetings from the UK. Just a quick question if I may.....I have a new Vyair 11.7 litre vessel with standard resin etc. I will only be using it for the final rinse on the car. My question is, do I need to drain some / any water out of the vessel in between uses? It would sit for a week or two max in the garage.....
Does leaving resin saturated in the vessel for a week or two harm the resin?
Thanks for the video! I would be going with the 50 size since my bays are pretty small. If I had the room, I would do the 100. Nice leaving your outtake in for all to see LOL.
The Pro 50 is a great size and takes up no room at all.
We laughed so much making this video we thought we would share it with you guys !
Thank you for the great info..........I may have just made a mistake!!!!
So I have the conversion kit with the CR Spotless, but the problem I'm getting is that the Resin will travel through the output and clog up my pressure washer nozzles. Any way to fix this?
How have you calculated that you will get 40 washes from one bag? If you live in a hard water area the Di unit is very expensive to use, soft water area only for DI system . There’s a formula for calculating the approx amount of litres you will get from the water supply TDS, what is that please?
Hi Glen. Hope you guys had a fun time this year. I am curious as to how the Safe-T- Steer worked out for you. As a side note I wish you guy's a wonderful Summer at home in France. Cheers!
Hi Ralph
The best I can describe this product is that it stiffens up your steering and stops wandering, so in cross winds you will drive with more ease, another time you notice it is on bad road surfaces where before the tires would track and fall into the groves of the joining lane, now it doesn't. Also very one I have spoken to absolutely loves this product.
If you order this and have it fitted in Atlanta they will offer you free fitting or if you order it and have it fitted somewhere else then if you send them a copy of your invoice with the code USA2017escape you will receive some cash back.
Washing cars could probably get 2+ years out of this.. awesome
Hi Glen, I'm defiantly going over to your web site to order a conversion kit for my CR spotless. I use mine to was my coach and both my cars. I think it will save me money over the long run of using the CR spotless. BTW, I could see me spilling the resin.. LOL... I have to remember how to use the hat...
This is a gret product and you will soon want to wash everything in sight as the results are so good you won't want to put it away. It takes around 1 hour for me(just me) to wash our 45' RV
I love my CR spotless but anything that will make it better, I'm all for it. Thanks for letting us know about the conversion kit.
It's such an inexpensive upgrade and your resin will go so much further
Great Escape will it got as long as 4000 gallons? Or just a little but further?
I thank you for your many interesting videos. You are very charming people and very smart. I just cant see how this type of vehicle makes any sense. i have travelled and stayed in the best hotels in American and I still wont have spent as much money and inconvenience as yourselves.
A new 2018 Entegra costs about $525000, a three year old one cost around $225000. $300,000 lost in value ,fuel costs ,service , storage, insurance, endless trips to a dealer network you mostly condemn, and you have to do all the cleaning and cooking.
Maybe its me? Rent a nice new car stay in hotels, let someone else look after you and still it wont cost me $350.000 in three years.
A very good point but it's the way of life and the total freedom. I have thought many a time it would be cheaper to do the hotel route but you wouldn't meet so many interesting people, plus the price you quoted for a new Entegra is not the discounted price that you would pay. I would expect to get most of my money back when I come to sell my RV. But as I say very valid point indeed
Some of us are going to need a bigger funnel. Can you leave that large tank in the basement... hook up the 2 hoses & use the system while it lay on its side? Thanks for being willing to 'shake things up.'
Hi Rick, The unit need to be upright to function correctly as the delivery tube need to be surrounded by the resin and on it's side this won't be the case and it'll probably perform like the spotless machine (not very well)
"Lift and screw up" I can do that!
Hope it's better for you both, it looks good. How are you progressing with the awful service from Lazy Days and there shoddy work?
How do you remove the resign from the large tank when it needs replacing?
Watch this video: th-cam.com/video/cLdF0tBTJRc/w-d-xo.html
I got mine it is great!!!
excuse me. I must have missed a video and I just need to know. Did you get the steering box issue fixed. the last I saw is the short bolt used on the steering box knuckle. Did you take it back to get fixed properly or what. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks
I was wondering if you are still using your unit today?
Hi Paul, Yes we still use our unit 1-2 times a week and the results are still amazing.
I bought this filter and when I installed it with the 25ft hose I get no pressure at or flow Do I need a pressure washer for it to work? I did install small 6ft hose and I had lots of pressure any thoughts or ideas what could be wrong ? I did a similar set up to yours.
Hello I have thr CR Spotless DI 20 dual filter. I want to convert it with the conversion tubes. How much Resin will each cartridge hold. Will the 1/2 cubic of resin be enough for the 2 cartridge's.
I was wondering if you did a video on the pro 50 as I'm limited for space? Want to know if it has a bypass valve like the pro 100?
Just received my new system and its not performing as advertised. My water is fairly hard and it is only getting it down to 50ppm. Well that's a problem because that is when you are supposed to change the resin. If you do the math I should still get 600 gal. DI water.( my Water measures at 330 PPM Georgetown tx) I feel the description should be updated to reflect the results of water with higher ppm. Currently trying to contact seller. I will update post after talking with the seller and tell all how it was handled.
J Green any update on this? Im in Fort Worth about to pull the trigger on a unit
Is this really true? That would me the whole unit is almost getting useless for spotless cleaning...
Any update on this post?
Dun Dunnn Dunnnnn.
My only concern is its stability. Maybe a hand truck or dolly system like on the smaller system you have there. They come in a fold up version.
Yes you can get one from home depot, I know that one is being made especially for this unit
Do you store with water in it, and what is the weight of the Pro 100 or Pro 50 with water? I too think a dolly would be good to move it around.
Great timing Glen...as I was getting ready to move forward on the cr spotless and now you did this video I like this new product. Any discount codes by any chance?
Hi Raymond
This is the lowest price available, and it's such good value for money especially if you compare it to the spotless system and the shipping is free if you are in the US
Get you an ice machine scoop for loading the resin. Way easier on your back and less chance of spilling.
Great video 👍👍👍
Thanks
Where does the washer/screen filter go ?
Sorry, don't understand the question?
Cool movie! Love the details and tricks, are you using softener resin or 2 different resins for Di water making? ( in Europe we use cation and anion resins in 2 colums for making Di with < 10 Micro Siemens ( conductivity) that gives best rv rinse results! Washing and shampoo removal with hard water final rinse and dry Di water...the millage of your column sure depends on the upstream hardness and contamation of the fresh water source used..hard rinses welll but makes stains...so Di (de ionized) i is the choice ( or Ro, reverse osmosis, thats a filter membrane) before handling heavy bags you may eventually comsider regen your resin multiple times no big deal...the tiny blu system could be regenerated in a bucket.resin is in strainer cylinder, ideal for regeneration and eluates (waste from regen) is a neutral tds mix, off it gose and big bucks saved
( other people here use hard water with an inhibitor in it, also brilliant results..) Dow, GE and Rohm and Haas have cheap and great resin n Europe Lanxess all resins are regenerable, they last 10 -12 years no issue so over time Rv cleaning becomes more fun and better Roi...love it ( I wash mine weekly, love washing Rvs)
I try and wash my RV every week and I use just 1 Cu Ft of di resin in my new machine which gives brilliant results
Just bought the conversion kit. I was wondering can i store the resin containers with water in them for the winter? I will have to remove them from the cr spotless housing as my garage isn't heated. Just wondering what the storage method is used for the cr spotless plastic tanks as now there will be loose resin in the plastic tanks and no more cartridges i can remove, drain and store inside the house
Mr Weaver - how long did it take for you to receive your conversion kit after you ordered it??
Great escape: I live in Canada and I'm looking for resin, can you tell me if there is different kind of resin ? Wich one I should buy ? Thanks.
You need a resin which is "virgin" not regenerated and one suitable for DI systems. It will be a bit of trial and error before you find one you like and that gives you the best yield. We use resin tech
Where can I buy the part to convert the original system? Thanks!
You need that unit on a trolley as it will be very heavy and you never fill a vessel to the top
Nice video...
Thank you Darrell
Interesting revieuw but you forgot to mention that the white machine has no wheels (heavy to move when full)... Better to convert the blue one. Anyway, thank you for your vlog !
Yes it is heavy, but this of course means that it's more stable. When you want to move it you swivel it on it's base, really no problem at all. If you take a look at the Pro 50 www.rvtransformers.com this is more than half the size and perfect for an RV.
Thank you for your vlogs and for sharing your experience, i do enjoy your channel, continue like this, very interesting content !
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment.
Thanks for a great video but the math doesn’t work. The original CR Spotless system is rated at 300 gallons but with your conversion kit and 40% more resin you suddenly get 4000 gallons. Adding 40% more resin would be 420 gallons ?? The conversion kit assumes no leaks around the seal which is the same as the CR Spotless rating.
After the conversion is fitted the system operates completely differently how the water passes through the resin making it far more effective.
@@GreatEscape24 Thanks for the reply. This summer I plan to buy the CR Spotless so I will be able to post my actual results before and after the conversion.
This may sound like a stupid question, why purchase a unit which is known to be very inefficient and then have to pay more to convert it to try and make it useable. The cost for the DIC20 on Amazon is $409. then you have another $60.00 for the conversion plus the additional resin $150. So to purchase the DIC 20 system and the conversion is going to cost you : $619.00 !!!!! Our best top top top system that hold 1 cu ft resin only costs $ 585.00 ready to go with quick release hose fittings , TDS meter etc . All you need to do is add water. You need to seriously rethink this !!
Does the conversion kit reduce the GPM flow of the CR machine? I see the smaller into now available. For a mobile detailer would you recommend the smaller machine on your site, the cr spotless with conversion kit, or the large machine?
Hi Tim, I wouldn't recommend the Spotless machine at all now that you know that there is a better solution. I traded my CR Spotless for a Pro 100 and never looked back. I wash my coach & car every week and I change the resin just once a year (even though it's not required) So much DI I don't even switch the by pass valves any more.
Great Escape ok thanks. I’ll order a 100 machine soon. I just ordered the cr spotless conversion kit a couple weeks ago. Still haven’t received it or the extra resin I ordered. I will try and order this week. Thanks!
Regarding the product i plan to use for movile carwashes and would very muxh like. Link to the product can anybody send it to me!!!
The link is: rv-mods.com
I have the option of using my water supply, which is very hard (35-45 grains) or softened water. It would seem that softened water would make the resin last longer, but I get different stories on this. Anyone have any experience with using both and which is better? BTW, the 4,000 gallon number is going to be greatly effected by the water supply.
Hi Jeff. I'm just replying to your e-mail. The resin will last longer using soft water as the software filtration has already ripped around 85% of the dissolved solids out of the water the the di resin doesn't have to work so hard.
Can you buy this in Canada ✌️🇨🇦
Don't screw up......screw in!!!!!
Are you selling those units at rvtransformers.com, or is that just a site that you found and recommend?
Also how can you tell when its time to replace the resin? Thanks
Lastly, since this thing is so big; If I used it outside of my house (which your typical house hose psi is at 40-60psi according to goolge), will my hose water be strong enough to get through all this stuff and out?
Yes, we get so many requests for products that we set up an official above board site on line shopping site. You mention the size, have you seen the Pro 50? this is much smaller (about half the size) and performs equally as well it just hold half the resin. So to get 4,000 gallons you'll have to fill it twice . The Pro100 takes the whole 1 Cu Ft bag whereas the Pro50 takes 1/2 Cu Ft . The unit is supplied with 1 Cu Ft bag of resin. You won't loose any pressure using the unit. I always tell people that if they use the lowest pressure that they can work with then the resin will last even longer. The Pro 50 is very portable and weighs about 12 pounds. Flow Rate; 5 gpm
Can you post a link where to find this product :)

Hi what are your shipping options on the DI system...and any discount codes available? Thanks
Shipping is free in North America and from time to time discounts /promotions are available. At the moment there are no promotions running.
How much testing has been done on the CR Spotless system with the upgrade that you recommend?
About 5 years, this system has been around for ages, but it's not been marketed to the RV industry before mainly trade clients. I went looking for it as I was getting Pi**ed off with having to keep changing resin after 4 washes. The new Pro 50 is a great size and comes with enough resin to give you approx 400 washes. It's not rocket science just a more efficient way of getting the most form your resin.
Will this thing work laying down? so you don't have to heeve this thing out of the coach every time.
Sadly not their needs to be a good bed of resin to achieve 100% DI water so you have to stand it up to use.
ok thanks
It will fit inside your Rv far easier and takes up a lot less space.
How heavy is it after use when it's soaked with water? Thanks
You can get all the answers to your questions here: rvtransformers.com/questions-asked-about-the-rv-mods-di-water-system/
What is the size of the inlet for the tank?
it's a standard 3/4" garden hose: visit rv-mods.com
:-) We like to save money.
Nice rig.
The conversion kit doesnt come with the bag of resin. How much additional is the bag of resin used here???
Hi Harris, prices can be found here: rvtransformers.com/rv-transformers-store/
Great Escape Hi. How accurate are the numbers? With the CR20 conversion kit, should I really be expecting 40% more resin and up to 4,000 gallons? It doesnt seem like a big enough change to yield those numbers.
Hi Harris have a look at this comparison chart: rvtransformers.com/spotless-di-water-system-di-water-system/
If you compare the spotless units (with the blue cartridges) against the new Pro system using the same 200 ppm TDS , you can see that the new system produces 65% more DI water from 1 Cu Ft of resin. The difference is quite incredible. I think the thing here is not how good the new system is but just how bad the CR Spotless system is. Let me know if you need any more info.
Great Escape So I have the DIC20 shown in this video. Realistically, what numbers should I expect with the conversion tubes shown here? I have a medium sized car and tend to use DI for the entire wash process.
So not knowing your PPM water reading let me ask you how many washes you get at the moment?
hi am doing mobile detailing can i use this on my trailer
Absolutely, take a look at our website which explains in more details: www.rv-mods.com
How heavy is the new unit once water is in it?
Hi Robert, I've never actually weighed it The Pro100 (the one shown in the video) is very manageable as you don't actually lift it you sort of roll it in a pivot manor . But I'm trying to get the actual weight for you. Have you tried lifting the spotless machine on the trolly full of water, thats really heavy . If you look at the video, when I placed it in the bay locker it's actually full of resin but not full of water. I'll get back to you if I can find the actual weight
Hi Robert
With water the Pro 100 will weight about, 50 to 60 pounds. (not as in dollars).
The Pro 50 will weight about, 25 to 30 pounds, with water.
Have you found that the gallons of water estimate is accurate?
Yes, very in fact in our experience it's underestimated. The problem is there are so many factors to take into account. Water pressure is one, quality of water is another quality of resin etc. So based on a set pressure and a set quality of water the figures apper to be accurate.
Great Escape Are you able to quickly explain why / how water pressure affects the gallons you’re able to get?
I’m glad I came across this video. I think I’m sold.
In simple terms, the resin has to grab all of the particles in the water going through it, if the water is going through too fast it.s more difficult for the resin to do its job. Now when the resin is new it will probably be able to cope but after the resin has been used several times there will be less available resin beads to grab the impurities so your water coming out will leave spots. If you reduce the incoming water pressure your resin will work as designed and you will have a spot free finish plus your resin will last longer.
Great Escape thanks for the explanation.
so I dont see the link for the big DI water system, to get the new product

Yep.. other then the "/" you put ( www/rvtransformers.com) that in it... (www/) its a dot... oops.
Can any one tell me if this is better than the Portable Water Softener amazon sells for 225$?
This is not a water softener, that is a completely different system for the water inside your RV like showers etc. This is 100% DI water that will leave absolutely no with water spots if you use it for the final rinse
You hae the link to this di system
The link to purchase these products is: rv-mods.com
Im no math major but if you add 40% more your getting about 160 gals more. (400+160=560 gal.. or about 5 1/2 wash..
I think a redo is call on for all that math and its information my friend...
Also... have no clue what the cost is on the conversion kit, but that looks like $10 buck at a home depot will buy some PVC and all that you need to do that mess...
The blue cartridge housings without the cartridges will hold 40% more resin than the cartridges will, but you will get far more yield by not using the cartridges. So once you have used 1 cu ft resin using the system without the cartridges you should get around 4,000 gallons of DI water. Your maths is correct but you can't apply it to this as you are not comparing apples to apples.
So your still using the 1sqft as you refill the cartridges, or you have to re~buy the cartridges each time.. or can you just refill the cartridges with your 1 sqft bulk bag?... Maybe thats what Im missing or Im not understanding?
Thank you for your time in clearing this up for me..
Ok , Let me explain:
*You no longer use the inner cartridges at all. As these a) hold less resin and b) distort when filled with water causing the top seals to leak which leads to false readings on the TDS meter and also mixes the DI water with the incoming water therefore defeating the object.
* Add the resin directly into the blue cartridges housings (this is where the 40% more resin comes from)
* Insert the conversion tubes into the resin and then raise them enough to push into the cartridge housing.
*Screw the blue housing back on and you are good to go.
* run about 2 gallons through the system to prime the resin.
Hope this helps
You are spot-on with your math. 4,000 gallons out of 1 cuft of resin media is the penultimate *fake news* story LOL
It’s $60 for the conversation tube but I like to make my own not sure how to do the micro screen.
I would like to use this for window washing. Would this work?
Hi Mike, this product is absolutely amazing on windows, seeing is believing. IF fact the best way to demo this product (pre-sales ) is on glass. Visit : rv-mods.com to order.

Why don’t you just recharge your DI resin?
Di Resin isn't the same as resin used in a water softener which can be regened by rinsing the resin with a salty brime. To regen DI resin you need several very larger tanks of highly corrosive acids and masive tanks to wash and rinse the resin after wards the process. It's a proper industrial process and not cost effective to send it to be regened. Soft water resin is a completely different chemical process.
It would be nice if you answered question sent to you!
I can't find your question to answer.
Sent message to customer support and never got an answer to my question on tracking my order. Showed shipped then went away.
I bought this filter and when I installed it with the 25ft hose I get no pressure at or flow Do I need a pressure washer for it to work? I did install small 6ft hose and I had lots of pressure any thoughts or ideas what could be wrong ? I did a similar set up to yours.
Hi Peter. I think you have either got the input and output the wrong way around or you have the valves in the wrong position, Pease send me an e--mail with some photos of how you are using the system to glenn@rv-mods.com
I need your email please
