Terrific graphic representation of the costs over time. Really nice job and a hat tip to the team.

Sooooooo, what you're saying is purchase the dual bed and make your own bypass for it, and the cost savings over time is well written the investment. If you REALLY want to lengthen the lifespan of the resin, run your water through a carbon prefilter before the resin.

@@stevensanchez7740 get yourself a carbon filter and install it before your resin filters.

I'm not a professional detailer, only do my own vehicles in my driveway. I keep the water from my basement dehumidifier in 5 gallon buckets and use it in a 2 gallon garden spray to rinse the car. Then go over it with a decent drying towel.

Great info. I am looking into a unit for this year. 100 degree summer days, with a big black truck to wash weekly. Very hard water to boot. Cheers

So would using deionized water during the foaming stage give you better quality foam?
@chrisginoc9 ай бұрын
Yes but it will waste your resin faster. Want to know a secret if you have the space? Buy one of those detail 55-65 gallon tanks, drive to a detail shop to fill it up with $4-5 which will last several cars. Don't waste your money on these tanks or resins, even as weekend warrior like myself
@chrisguzman79266 күн бұрын
@chrisginoc i have the tank and decided to try this, honestly you're right it's way cheaper the resin just doesn't last in my area
@EileenTheCr0w10 ай бұрын
These are cool, but I wonder how long does it take to actually pay for itself as opposed to just buying Deionized or Reverse Osmosis water from a company that provides it to fill a rinse only tank. Certainly it's more efficient space wise in a van to have one big tank and then activate the DI system just when you rinse, but I could also use water straight from the hose most of the wash and then only use the tank at the end rinse or in those cases where there's no water line to access. Thank you for showing the way they calculated the price over time of these, it will help me decide between this and other systems.

I dont think so. It has resins that bonds all the contaminants and keeps it there, filtered. You have to replace them onces it clogs or the ppm reachea even 3 ppm.

I’ve been using a dual filter spot free rinse for over two years. They actually tell you never to run regular water through the hoses cause it can contaminate it. The spot free rinse is the way to go.
@s2kologist9 ай бұрын
What do you mean "never run regular water through the house"
@stevensanchez77406 ай бұрын
So the hose can never touch hard water if you truly want spot free water? makes sense

Just get some quick connects and bypass it yourself. Then it will only take a few more seconds than turning the knobs of the bypass.

LOL this guy really doesn't want you to buy the basic one. He goes hard on selling the std version with the bypass. I do think it's funny when he talks about cost over time and he allows a bypass calculation for all the others but not basic. I think he forgets you can just slap some quick connects on it and within seconds you are disconnected and not using it. It does seem a little disingenuous and honestly makes me think that the profit margins on the other units are a lot higher than the basic so yeah they offer it but they would much rather you buy something else. When someone goes that his own product that hard it makes you wonder why.
