The water at my townhouse is HORRIBLE!!! I must park outside cause my wife parks her car in the garage and there is only room for one. I want some way to rinse the dust of my car every morning and go to work. Something quick. So I am thinking a water de-ionizer would be the perfect solution. I understand that it would probably be expensive, but if it worked perfectly it would be worth it. Anybody have one? Anybody have a suggestion? I am not really interested in just a filter.

I use a kit from my local supplier. $10.00 a month rental on the tanks and $45.00 to get them recharged.



I find the system works to a degree. That is to say if you don't get all the soap off the car you'll have spots

How's the water pressure with that thing? It says to keep it down to 3gal/min, but what does that turn out to be...low, high, just right? How about how long it lasts (like number of washes before needing a new cartridge)? The medium duty wall mounted seems best since it costs $190 vs $310 for the big one and $37 for each 100 gal (or $111 for 300 gal) while the big one is $100 for 300 gal, although I guess the big one would pay for itself after about 3000 gal. Do you use it for the whole wash or just the final rinse?

The pressure is fine (although I have pretty high water pressure). I used the 2 GPM restrictor, and the flow was fine, nothing like the Mr. Clean. I took the restrictor out because I had a leak, and the light still stays on while rinsing, so I guess that will be fine, at least at this point in the cartridge life. I can't comment on how long it lasts because I only got it a few weeks ago. I just use it for the final rinse, and sometimes a dust washoff. If I could have gotten it from my local water treatment company for the price MorBid does, I think I would have gone that route.

CRSSpotless is great if you want to invest in the equipment and filters, but the MR. Clean Auto Dry system is not that bad if you know how to use it properly.

Check you yellow pages under Water Treatment for a local place . You should have quite a few in CA that you can rent tanks from like MorBid does.

Holy crap, MorBid...that's really low pricing...is that from a chain or someone just local to you?

No chain, a local supplier. The company who's Network I manage manufactures PCB's (Printed Circuit Boards) and use DI-Water all over the plant at different locations.



So when I heard about CRSpotless I asked the Purchasing Manager to call the supplier up and see if they had smaller tanks for rent.



I'm over 350 Gallons so far and the light thingy that goes out to tell you to change the tanks is still bright as the day I got it.

Sorry, this is starting to sound familiar from a few months ago. We use a DI system at work, but we pay way more than that, I think about $80/month and $100 or so for recharge. I probably should have checked somebody that does residential, but I figured long term the CR was going to be cheaper, since there are no rental fees.
