- We've been preventing water spots for years using pH neutral shampoos and spraying detail spray onto the vehicle after you rinse as a drying aid. However, the most effective method of avoiding water spots is to stop the source of the spots: minerals in your water supply. Adam's Portable Water Deionizer ensures that there are no impurities in the water you use to rinse your car, stopping water spots at the source. Check out this video to see how it works and how to set it up.

I bought this back in September and it’s definitely worth the investment. To be fair, I’m constantly detailing cars in direct sunlight since I run a business. If you’re just a car enthusiast looking for a way to avoid water spots while working in direct sunlight, this is definitely for you. If you think about it, Adams constantly has discounts so you’re really only paying $320 for approximately 1-2 years of use (if you wash your car once a week) before refilling.
To put it simple, no more water spots, no more rushing around, thicker foam from a foam canon, and no drying necessary in direct sunlight. Ive left the cars in direct to dry and never had an issue.
How long will this tank last and how much to replace it
so im a mobile detailer how long would this last before refill
2 cars a day
Depends on how hard your water is!
This is what I need to hear and need
i will definitely be looking into this when it warms up again. south mississippi summers are no joke and the water here is extremely hard
I just bought my tank today. I set it up and I can’t wait to use it on my car.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hell yeah, thank you!!!
I live in London and we got really hard water. Makes cleaning the car and solar panels a real pain. Hope to buy one of these
Kinetico used to make a van mounted water softener looked very similar to that. To be clear it was not a deionizer. I used it for carpet cleaning. It never had to have resin replaced as it had a brine rinse cycle and double vessel system. It was great but I graduated up to a large van mounted reverse osmosis system. Bought it from a window cleaner who used deionized water to clean windows. This was years back.
same thing, they need a mad gimmicky new name for it. we alll love gimicks
Reminds me of the Mr. Clean auto wash system from early 2000's
Are you talking about that handheld thing you attached to a hose? It had a removable filter canister in it and a soap reservoir, and you'd switch to filtered for your final rinse? Whatever happened to that thing? I remember using and liking it, don't remember what happened to it.
I bought it at 16 when I got my first car. A '91 Mazda RX-7. Insurance was around $250 a month because it was a turbo and I was 16. Worth it. I got a '93 twin turbo a year later. Wrecked it. Got an Explorer. 😁👍
@@jdisdetermined yup, bulky blue plastic gun with green knobs to select between rinse, soap, or deionized water. I remember going through those filters fast. Also with my first car, a 2004 srt4.
Haha, I was thinking about this a few days ago. That thing was pretty cool but I did notice it left a film on the car. I'd like to try it with today's products though. I do remember it being expensive even for the replacement cartridges because I washed my car too much. LOL
That thing was amazing!
This just took me way back
Worth it when you can get it on sale. The valves are what makes It quite functional. I added quick disconnects to mine. Make sure the top is tight on the tank. Mine was loose. Need a nice rolling cart/dolly for it.
I’m getting this ASAP
DI tanks are the way. I rent commercial ones 9 months out of the year. I use it 100% of the wash process. My TDS is over 900 it's insane. With the tanks I am down to 2 PPM.
Can you shed some light where to find these DI tanks?
@@jonmike316 my recommendation is rent them (commercial DI tanks). Owning the tanks does not save you any money. They are much smaller and have less resin. You need dual C and A tanks for best results, which the rental companies will give you. Google DI tank rentals near me. Should get some results. Hope this helps.
900? That's hazardous wtf.
At that tds level how many washes do you get before resin goes bad?
@@jrpharr usually I can get a little over two months. I have three cars I do. I am 100% DI all the time and my kranzle pump flows like 1.9 gpm. That's pretty high flow rate.
I want to use this for my solar panels on my home.
Nice!
This system is similar to an RV water softener. You can regenerate the resin by adding salt to the tank and rinsing. Same principle as a house water softener.
Dude I Love that hat your wearing in this video! Where can I get one of those?
How 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? 10 gallons everytime? Curious if you measured that too (or can and comment), tks.
Can I connect brass or stainless steel quick connects on the vavles? If so which would you recommend?
Luckily, the water in my area is pretty soft to begin with. Good product though
Which version is shown in the video? It looks like a model bigger than the one you have link to at your web site.
Does the resin lose its effectiveness or shorten its lifespan if I only use it every couple of weeks and the water is just sitting inside the container?
Once you use the dial Nazer, how do you store it bore?For your next wash, do you empty it?What is the procedure
I'm looking for something like this
I think Simple Chuck is easier
How are the resin filters any different than a household water softener? Water softeners don’t remove everything.
the little laugh with that grease on the O ring 😂
I know the resin swap is pia for sure, I was looking at similar systems for home and car use. Hence why I have a similar one thereafter that can be regenerated with regular table salt and flushed to clean the resin. Makes the cost of ownership far less and with great success.
What system did you get?
Interested as well
Kinetico used to make a double vessel system and a salt basin. Had it on my carpet cleaning machine. Never had to deal with the resin as it regenerates one resin bed while the other vessel is in use. It was all mechanical and worked off of water pressure.
That is a *really* dope hat. Can I have one?
😁👍
I may do this but I’ll probably also recharge my own resin.
What quick connects would fit on both if the down spouts? I do not like having to always screw in my water house to the one that goes to the pressure washer.
Hi there! You could use 2 sets of these quick disconnects here, one for the inlet, one for the outlet:
adamspolishes.com/products/adams-3-4-garden-hose-quick-disconnect
You could even add a third and fourth set if you wanted to have quick connects at your water faucet and going into the pressure washer itself.
you can also use a rv or mobile home filter
I read a lot of reviews on those because I was thinking of going that route and many people said they didn't help with spotting at all.
@@GRJCLyon that’s weird i’ve read they work good, but i guess it would be better to just go with the professional one
@@rezzomane1457 I checked out a few brands in Amazon but also went through the comments on a few YT videos as well. It’s a mixed bag but I was surprised at the amount of people who didn’t find them useful. I think it also depends on how good or bad their water originally was.
You can make a double filter. Run the rv filter from the source.
From the filter you run it to the deionized source, the deionizer takes less beating.
A decade behind the mainstream plus a premium price for a decal on the vessel.
This better than that one company spotless ? I’d like to see a face off between those products
they are the same system. The only real difference is CR spotless uses 2 tubes (one cation and one anion) while the one in the video (Actually from a company named On The Go) used mixed resin bed. Mixed resin meaning that the cation and anion resin are all in one tank as opposed to the CR Spotless
If I have a Full House water softener, is this the same and will work?
No a water softener replaces calcium with sodium, which is softer, but it’ll still cause water spots
Guys harvest rainwater in tanks if you have the capacity and run it through the Di your resin will last a very long time. Rain is very low on PPM
Bro how do I open this thing it’s impossible it’s like glued on
Can this be mounted to a mobile washing unit?
If you have space for it
The CR has two compartments and only $110?
400 is very high for that, maybe worth 200 at most to me.
This is the exact same thing as a water softener you can buy anywhere and for $400 you can get one with saline regeneration so not need to buy new resin. Ever!
I got a water softener system, i still get water spots. maybe this will work
Damn. I guess that idea is thrown out the window. LOL Thanks for posting this. I owe you a beer.
Water softener is different from deionized water system
Isn’t it possible to regenerate the resin somehow? Like you do with the resin in your home water softner?
Absolutely. I clean windows with a very similar system and we recycle and regenerate the resin at a local water store. Cheaper than buying new resin each time and works just as well
@@shotmedown4889looking to do this too. What do you mean by water store? I live in Southern California and can’t find any water stores.
I bought one recently but noticed after filling up my 100 gallon tank for the second time started noticing water spots , already not liking it then the cost per gallon is roughly 30 cents when my local shops charge 10 to 20 cents a gallon
your water must be really bad. Instead of filling the entire tank up with di water, only use the di water during rinsing.
Fun fact rain water is 0 tds
@@sko1beer Rain averages 50 ppm TDS.
Water over 200 PPM is not suitable for this system, far too expensive. Harvest rain water in large tanks and then filter through Di the perfect and cheapest way to operate a system like this
@@TroyRudd574 rain water is almost pure never 50ppm
How many washes before reasin refill is need
I get about 10 cars out of my water tank when full. I fill up my tank 11 times and is still good for an extra 20 gallons before swaping resin .
How much money for this unit
Can someone please respond to this question? I haven't heard much on this. Can you use this filter to fill up a 125 gallon tank? How Long will the water stay at 0ppm once the tank is full?
Hi! Sorry we missed this comment! Our Standard Portable Water Deionizer can filter up to 1100 gallons with the included resin, depending on the quality of the water source. Deionized water can expire over time when exposed to air and carbon dioxide, so you will want a sealed HDPE plastic container to store it. You will also want to store it out of direct sunlight. Having said that, the benefit of the deionizer being portable is that you can hook it up to regular water in your storage tank and then deionize it from there :thumbsup:
I just ordered mine online I’m gonna be washing 1-2 cars per week approximately, do I need to drain out the water after every wash?
No just don’t leave pressure in it or the resin will degrade
How many clean gallons of water do you guys estimate 1 bag will yield?
1,120 gallons
@@aaroneisert2473 there’s no way I have one from culligan that’s 3x the size and I’m getting 800 gallons, this thing probably works for about 2-300 gallons at best
@@milinichsautodetail3124 So every car wash we have to change out the resin? No thanks. I appreciate your information.
@@GRJCLyon no you can get quite a bit of washes out of 200 gallons believe it or not but there’s no way they are getting 1,200 gallons of di water In that little resin tank
@@GRJCLyon no you can get quite a bit of washes out of 200 gallons believe it or not but there’s no way they are getting 1,200 gallons of di water In that little resin tank
I put on a raincoat and wash in the rain... Free DI water... spot free. The other option is to fill a spray bottle with DI water and just use it for the very last rinse. A 1/2 gallon will easily rinse a car... a pump bottle works best.
Rain is not DI water. In fact it will leave dirt all over your car after it dries. (rain forms around dust particles in the atmosphere).
a filter replacement would be 1000x easier
If you have really hard water, look into getting another system with a larger tank to avoid having to replace the resin every 6 months.
Is that how long one of these last around 6 months ?
What’s the length on one tank before you have to refill . I’m
A mobile detailer and do 2 cars a day
Depends on your water quality feeding into the unit. Look up TDS meter and measure it. Then you can calculate how many gallons this unit will produce at a certain TDS level and back your way into how often you need to replace. Obviously only turn on the unit during your final rinse to extend the life of the resin.
@@GoebelsDetailshop78 i get about 110 washes out of one resin bag, however if you do the math you get each gallon for a few cents more than a local detail business that can fill up ypur tank
@@edwincardenas3098 awesome I for sure need to get one before this summer in Florida
I'm no scientist but can't we just have a bunch of magnets in there to attract the minerals, block by a filter. Then we just change the filter and use the magnets again. Lol
Yep, you’re no scientist
I just purchased this, if I'm only using it once a week or two week should the water in the tank be drained after use for storage?
Good question did you find an answer
@@aliyahp9969 unfortunately not.
@@keithgehrke3588 It should be drained if you're not going to use it for a long period of time. I believe 1 month without use would me make me consider draining it. Not using it for a long period of time can promote the growth of algae
Does it come with resin
Yes, all 3 versions we offer come with the appropriate level of resin pre-installed. Then we have refills available for each size deionizer 👍
Ya I’m glad I’m not getting this now, what a mess to deal with..
Yeah, you have to be *slightly* mechanically inclined to unscrew a couple of valves and use a funnel. Most auto detailing enthusiasts who will be using this are a little more than slightly mechanically inclined so it's really not a hassle for them.
@@xxdemonshitxx not that, the mess of the resin to deal with
@@Oosik91 I think it would be ok if you got bigger funnel with a wider head and neck. But what's more important are the reviews of the pressure washer 2.0. A lot of people complaining about how Adam's is STILL skimping on quality even though they stated they learned a lesson from the last version. It says a lot about the company as a whole.
Yeah, it seems you need to do this after 1 or 2 washes. It would take less time to use a spot remover. LOL. Then you have to let the water evaporate in the bucket before dumping it? Now my garage gets to smell like fish eggs for 3 months. No thanks.
Look like a pain to deal with.
Its not
get some quick disconnects and you good. but it all depends on how much you willing to spend.
Dude it saves me over an hour every wash I don’t worry about scratching my car when drying and I only have to change the filter particulate once a year
Not to me
@@zaceryhammond1144 do you use yours still? Have you had any problems? I detail out of my truck do you think it would be suitable to sit in my truck bed with my water tank?
Did I miss the price? Darn iam getting old.
Question is can you water plants with this 🤔
You could but there is no point in doing so. Deionized water has nothing in. There is no mineral
@@lioneljean4117 which is why cannabis growers love RO
Or just use detail spray after drying :)
What kind ??Dont know what’s best
Doesn’t work like that
looks like a copy of the no spots pro
Dump resin trash? No recycling? So much environmental waste.
I've looked into these systems for a couple years and some companies buy back (give you credit) used resin but in the end, you need a pressure washer, a dolly to haul around the filter and time to change and dispose the resin. I think most resin systems last 10 washes (as long as you are frugle with it) and you need new resin costing $70-80. So, I just put it off as it seems too much of a hassle.
Just wash your car not in direct sunlight, squeegee your windows, and go on a post wash test drive to evaporate your water. Very minimal water spots. Zero additional costs.
Cringy hippie.
This sure looks very much like the one made by , On the Go spotless water. Rite down to the water tester.
Yes it’s a rebrand. Adam’s does not actually manufacture anything.
Just get a three stage filter
those plastic fittings look booboo. wonder if theres brass replacements
All that time you saved by not having to dry goes into changing out the resin
Have to say the FRP vessel is far to small you need minimum 25 litre which will take a full bag of resin and need less resin change. Another idea is to run 2 in tandem and when the ppm starts to climb reverse the FRP,s you will get more life out of the resin.
How much is the system?
I bet will be $399
@@Carlos.Rivera not cheap
@@R_J_G of course not. Look RV supply and you will get something more cheaper
Website says starting at $149.99
Flush 2-5 minutes is using a lot of the resin for filtering. 👎🏼
Same price I treat the whole house Fleck 5600! ..no thank you!
Replace your glass lol
Seems kinda steep at $420 for what it is...
This is obviously not for the average guy or gal washing their car in the driveway. This is more suited for the professional detailer.I can’t see myself setting this up to wash two cars .
you leave it set up lol. you do not need to remove this every wash, leave it connected and use the valves. its not that hard
You have to be crazy to buy this unit at 399.00 just for a 1000 galón of pure water to much money I bet this unit reduce the psi in power washers
And you only get 1000 gallons if your water isn’t that bad, if you have really hard water in your area your looking at around 300 gallons according to there chart
Di rinse pro is cheaper
@@rogermendez7266 no if you take into account the discount Codes Adams is always running for example right now you can get it for $320 with free shipping
$400 no thanks rather use spray wax and be done.
Looks like a pain in the a$$ and costly to operate. No thanks.
Took me 2 minutes to set up?
First
Lol or just use a rv filters $20 and done
worthless😂
So it’s a mini water softener?
Close but not exactly. Water softeners remove hard minerals from water, but do not change the overall mineral level in the water - they exchange hard minerals for other minerals. A water deionizer attempts to remove all minerals from water, to get the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) reading down to as close to zero as possible.
