Every time I watch one of your videos there’s something else I can’t live without!
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.
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.
Pan you've got to understand that most people out there aren't well off as you buying all these expensive high end crap for there cars however overall I do enjoy detailing my car with using your tips and tricks.
Thanks, Nick. It must be so glorious in every way to have your level of intelligence. You, sir, are a very brave hero and an inspiration to others.
@@timkinley1779 It’s the reality of most people okay this guy is obviously very rich showing us this high end quality stuff worth thousands of dollars the fuck are you talking about ?
@@Nick-1992-SRB I was just busting your balls because you felt the need to point out the obvious to a grown man. Either you hang out with some dumbasses who need the obvious pointed out or, you are around some intelligent people and all you can contribute is stating the obvious or, nobody has called you out for stating the obvious. Gotta be one of the three. And just for shits and giggles, go through the comments because a bunch of people are interested in this product. Which is the purpose of the video.
I will show solutions to common problems. If it fits a person’s budget, then great. Nobody is forced to buy anything here. And compared to water filtration systems that cost thousands, this actually isn’t that expensive.
But I certainly won’t stop sharing things that I like simply based on price. This is a car detailing channel and there are many who actually can afford items like this and will be happy that it solves an issue they might be experiencing.
I know you are in Canada but who would be the best one to go with for a home system in the US (North Carolina)
CR Spotless is actually a company from the USA. So I would still go with that. Links in the video description.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks
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.
Great help Pan. I am unclear though about the need for a water softener for my house. We have very hard water (200mg/L) so initially thought I needed a water softener before the DI system. However, on one of your comments to another viewer you said the water softener actually adds TDS so he would be better off going direct from his regular water directly to the DI system. Please clarify. And, if I do install a water softener upstream from the DI system it's my understanding that water softeners are usually only on the house HOT water systems. So, is the tap to your DI system in your garage hot? Or does your garage tap not pass through the water softener? Thanks
Correct. A water softener is not needed in this scenario as it would raise the TDS levels and blow through your DI resin quicker.
If all you want is a pure water with zero minerals, just get a DI system for your garage. 👍🏻
Great video 😎
Thanks!
Est-ce que les filtres doivent être vidé de leur eau lorsque remisé pour l'hiver ? Merci !
Mon garage est chauffé donc je ne sais pas la procédure à suivre pour un garage non chauffé. J’imagine qu’ils faudra vider l’eau en effet.
@@PanTheOrganizer Salut Pan, j'ai lu ce matin dans les commentaires qu'il faut vider les filtres car à la longue ça use la résine et ça peut engendrer le développement d'algues. Ce qui me semble très logique. Merci de ta réponse et j'adore tes vidéos. Salutations ✌️
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 . 👍👍
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 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
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’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 ?
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??
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.
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
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.
@@lel3450 Carzilla or obsessed garage
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 use RV-Mods DI water system. you get more deionized water out of their system.
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! 👍👌✌
When it rains here, and the rain dries… yes! I have water spots! Dust in the air.
Just my opinion here Pan first of all I have loved the reviews since being a subscriber and the awesome tips ..Now the But ..Since you received your sports car the reviews and directed you where heading seems too have changed .Please get back to the old content the reviews etc..This water system is catering to a small subsection who have money to burn 🔥...leave that to obsessed garage .. Maybe it's me I just think you have changed or got away from why the channel has thousands of subscribers ...Please don't be offended I love your dedication etc ...This is constructive criticism please go back to basics 🙏
How many times can he make a wash video? It's content. Did you take into context that everybody isn't broke? There could be some who didn't know this existed or how to buy it. Now they have the knowledge. I didn't hear him say you must buy it or that he's reviewing better products so people can feel bad about themselves. It is a channel about detailing and this is a product for detailing.
@@timkinley1779 Hey its one opinion and yes everyone isn't broke including myself in fact I seem to order product from every video review so I spend hundreds if not thousands on a truck that already has a ceramic coating on it ...My point is for the last while it's been different that's my opinion and yes like Asxholes we all have one .And I respect yours
This is a car detailing channel. I am known for the variety of my content. From detailing cars inside and out, to products and tools reviews, to tutorials, I cover a wide range of topics. And I will continue to produce awesome videos with things I like sharing. Always have, always will.
@@BritinCanada Cool beans. Just working on my comment skills. And if you don't feel the need to explain yourself... don't. I just noticed you're probably Canadian so my Southern brashness is gonna seem really unnecessary. It's kinda what we do so don't expect warm and fuzzy. We're uncouth, like violence and consider everybody else... not us. Best of luck to you and yours. Btw, did you know Pan makes awesome videos? I'd better stop.
Did you have any issues with the ELEY garden hose you have connected to the CR Spoteless System due to the orifice size being a little larger than the standard 5/8 inch?
Great vid Pan. I’d like to c another vid when u replace the resin. How do u do it? If u have a vid of ur water softener system in ur house plz send me the link? I don’t know what that is. Thank you Pan and have a great day.
I made a video of the water softener in my previous house here: th-cam.com/video/G66IR8kS0uQ/w-d-xo.html
I have a similar system in my new house too.
the resin comes in canisters that fit inside the blue tubes...literally takes 5 minutes...
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.
My resin lasted 11 months washing my car 1-2 times a week
Good to know!
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 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.
I see that the refill resins are quite expensive but the one's from Broutech are much cheaper.. Is it safe to assume these are interchangeable?
You would have to write to CR Spotless and ask them. I don't have the answer to that unfortunately.
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
Why didn’t you get the simple chuck also by the same company
$140 worth of resin to make 300 gallons of water? That ends up to be $5 to $10 per wash just for the water? Pretty expensive.
Couldn't you keep using it even if its reading aome TDS? My water is city water but like concrete. Its going to eat resin quick.
I have the same cr spotless with wheels I always drain mine when I'm done and let it dry, I also have a bypass on mine with quick disconnect
Do you find it necessary to drain the tanks? How long does it sit idle between uses? Lastly, how do you know it prolongs the life of the resin?. Thanks.
@@cheferman65 this is from their website (Yes, it is possible. After long periods of non-use there is a possibility that algae can form and foul the resin. If it is going to sit for a long period of time with out use)
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.
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!
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...
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!!👍🏾

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!👍🏾💯🚘🚗
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
Thanks for being the MY go to guy for detailing cars. Will get this soon. Also what's the best iron remover that won't break the bank??
CarPro IronX is my favourite. You also have Gyeon Iron, Optimum Ferrex and P&S Iron Buster that are good alternatives.
These are too expensive for the amount of washes you get. I suggest a better tank.
You think you can do a review of the D-IONIZR2SET from bigboi ?
Bought a house and there's a water softener in it. Ended up seeing this, was wondering wtf it was lol guess previous owner must've been a detailer cuz there is a drain in the garage. No shelves though lol
This is Awesome!!!!
Thanks for presenting it Pan 👍
Thanks Franco!
@@PanTheOrganizer can't wait to see your next video
The smaller unit (DIC 10) costs more than the larger system? Doesn't make sense. $500 vs. $410.
I buy purified water at a water store to drink. Can I put that in an IK sprayer combined with soap for a better wash on a lightly dirty car?
Yes
do you know of a cheaper setup? i don't want to spend $400+ . ...i just spend a lot for a new car...thanks
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.
A 50/50 would be nice or one car rinsed with this water and the other with “normal” water
The rinsing ability would be the same. Rinsing with tap water or distilled water is hard to tell by eye alone. It's just the fact if it'll leave water marks if left unattended/not dried/evaporated.
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! 😁
Pan my soft water has tds of 400. Is it better to deionize soft or hard water if tds is the same.
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.
This is definitely a fantastic unit for the home. Quality seems top notch. Great video pan. 👍🇨🇦
Thanks!
Thanks for the review! Very nice system… especially with it being portable!
Thanks Kyle!
Very expensive solution and last time I bought resin it was quite expensive.
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 wonder how do you maintain this DI water system? I only wash my car every 2 or 3 weeks in one month, do I need to dry the filter (resin) to prevent some kind of molding?
No maintenance other then switching to new resin when the TDS meter indicates anything above 0
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!

Pan, thanks for the video. What kind of life can I expect out of the resin? i.e. how many washes between resin changes.
That depends on each person and how much water they use for each wash. But the company says it’s good for treating up to 300 gallons of water.
I received my dic 20 in march i wash once a week plus have done a few other vehicles with it and mine still going on original resin also put a cap full of mckees n914 in your wash and rinse bucket that helps soften the water in ur buckets why washing a little trick Pan telks about in one of his videos

I'm thinking about starting a mobile detailing business. If I'm going to have to wash customer cars in the sun, I think this might be my only solution? Since I will rely on the customers water supply, do you think this would be a cost effective solution? So all I have to bring to the customer is my pressure washer setup + di system. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks Pan.
If you are using a mobile detail setup, you would likely have a water tank in your truck. You would fill that tank with deionized setup from your shop, before going to your customer's homes.

Hey quick question, can these systems work off a bucket of water rather than a water hose? I need one to clean balconies and the only water source I have is from the bathtub that I put in a bucket.
You these need to be hooked up to a garden hose with a steady water supply.
That was paaaaaaaaaaaantastic....I have been looking at the DIW for sometime.... might have to get one ..... I want it
If you have water spotting issues, you need this.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan
I just bought one and first time using it we reached 7 ppm
@@mattfav7986 I just got one myself, used it once
I think im about to get one, been wanting one for ages. Here in the UK that similar unit is called cyclone spotless wash solution. Safe to say i think it's worth the investment
Yup!
Do you have tried it?
I run a mobile detailing business. I’ve been looking at this for some time now. I do run a pump between my tank and pressure washer. Would you suggest to install this before or after pump? Thanks in advance. And love your content. Whenever I have a question I just check your videos. Definitely appreciate your work.
If your mobile its best to rent a DI tank from a local shop and swap when used. It is cheaper and less of a "refill" hassle.
This is horrible for a detailing business unless you can get a company to regenerate the resin. The gals u get vs the refill cost is very high. You will spend over 500 a month just in resin.
666.000 subscribers - good or bad omen...?? 😄
Hehe
300 gallons would last me about 12 cars idk about the maintenance cost on these seems high
If you use it just for the final rinse, it’s not as bad.

Should I get Medium or, High Output?
Thinking of mounting in my truck on a bracket that can be pulled up to the canopy window.
I went for the high output as I wash often. If you use it as a professional, you'll likely want to go for the HO as well.
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!
This probably a dumb question..
but what is the different between this … and say using cheap store bought distilled water and just pouring like 2 gallons over your washed and rinsed car to “wash away” left over minerals?
Practically? 🤷🏼♂️ Convenience? Cost long term?
We’re to buy it ? InFrance I see nothing under 1000
I may consider this system, I've been looking for one but these refills cost quite a bit. Are we able to use other Resin refills with this kit?
I don’t have an answer to that unfortunately. You would have to check with CR Spotless.
you can, however, not all resins are the same, check your cheaper source, it may be regenerated as opposed to new.
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.
This is why I put up with Matt and his antics, dude you’re like a decade late.
What does that have to do with anything??
Pan love the channel. Do you use the DI water in the buckets and during the entire process or just final rinse?
Sometimes in the buckets and foam cannon too. But that blows through resin quicker. So most often just for the final rinse where it counts most.

How did you discover my channel by the way?
I Bought this CR system years ago, what a piece of crap it constantly leaked no matter what I did. Really low pressure when connected.
I have zero issues with this and constantly wash cars using this. Absolutely zero pressure loss with my high end pressure washer.
Did you reach out to the company to troubleshoot?
so 300 gallons of water before you have to replace the resin ? that seems like it would cost a lot of money to keep replacing the resin so often, how many gallons does one waste per wash ?
I don’t count that…
When you know it’s time to change the inside? Or how long it lasts before it’s first maintainence
There is a TDS meter attached. When it reads over 0 PPM, it’s time to change the resin. No maintenance here. Just changing the resin when it’s not doing its job anymore.
Since you already have the water softener, can you get more than 300 gallons
No it’s actually the opposite. Having a water softener actually depletes the deionizer’s resin quicker. I asked CR Spotless and they confirmed that it’s normal as there is slightly more salt residue in softened water setups which acts on the deionizer resin.
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!
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!
Have you tested to see how long the CR Spotless cartridges last if you supply them with reverse osmosis water?
No
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.
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.
I’m curious if you or others are only using this for a final rinse? Water is very , very hard in Maui after being filtered by a volcano, I’ve considered this, and some sort of solution will be funded before years end. To minimize “cost per vehicle” I’d love some feedback from someone that just uses this for a final rinse.
He said “the DIC10” and “no jokes guys” lol

not great for mobile detailing whatsoever. I go through 100-120 gallons a day. RO system is where its at. 30k water filtration before replacing filters
So 300 gallons at approximately 4gm from a hose, means 75 total minutes of pure water. Ouch. Nearly $2/ minute.
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!
This seems like a really nice product and all, but the replacement resin costs just as much as buying a new unit. One of the posters that owns one said that he can only go about 15 washes before needed to replace the resin. So does that mean you need to buy replacement resin after every 15 washes? That equates to about $26/wash since the resin costs $385.
Is it just me or is it honestly not even worth it? It costs 415$, and only lasts for 300 gallons, and each one of those resin bags is 125 and you’ll need multiple of them to fill up.
Hi Pan as-tu déjà figuré combien d’auto tu peux rincer avant de changer la résine ou le coût par rinçage? Merci
Non ça serait un peu exagéré commencer à calculer tout ça.
I don't wash my car in the sun and I refuse to pay upwards of $600 US for one of those systems (not to mention the ridiculous cost to refill the resin).
Thai is nothing new! You can always spray your car off with distilled water too using a garden spray pump. Works like a charm.
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...
Hello Pan, as I always appreciate your knowledge and experiences with your followers, my question is if I can use a water softener system and if I get the same results as in a deionizing equipment, in Mexico it is difficult for me to find a water deionizing equipment and it is easier for me to find a water softener equipment. Could you briefly exolish what the difference between both systems would be? Thank you
A water softener is better than tap water but still has minerals in it, and obviously salt content from the salty brine it needs to flush the resin.
Deionized water is the best as it contains ZERO minerals in it. So impossible to have water spotting issues. That’s why I use a water deinonizer in my garage to wash cars with.
pan, thank you for clarifying my doubts, finally I would like to ask you how many months pass in the real world before you have to change the resin in your system? I understand that everything depends on the quality of the water and the gallons of water used. I am a person who likes to keep my car clean. I wash my car once a week and I would like to purchase a system free of water drop stains.
did anyone make any diy? give the link
300 gallons for $400 + $140 renewal…no way! Get a whole house units, that’s much cheaper
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?
Wow!!! Very low cost!!!!!!!! I want one of these so bad. I haven't tried anything like this since the "Mr Clean Auto Dry" :)
