Auto Measure Your Water! | Collomix AQIX | Is It Worth It? | Water Dosing

[@fillflashdetailer8838]

That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen, honestly. I can't justify the cost for my personal use, but man, I'm impressed.

[@CarsWithKeav]

All the cool tools are so expensive.

[@zdub303]

Super cool, but for $300 it’s too pricey for this weekend warrior.

[@Littlebird-m9x]

U a brokie

[@CarsWithKeav]

It is for sure one of those last on the list things.

[@Weakest_Bulgarian]

​@Littlebird-m9x why am I going to spend money on a senseless and pointless product. Just use a $5 measuring cup

[@mach179]

I bought a flowmeter from Amazon for ~$15. I had two usages for it. I wanted to water my pine trees 100-gallons every 2-weeks in the summer and to track the water usage for my Spotless Water Systems when I wash my truck. The filters are relatively expensive.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@mach179 I got flow meters everywhere and love them. Tracking DI usage and just overall gallons. Just always wanted a set it and leave it device that would just shut off finally found it. Of course $300 is a tough pill to swallow.

[@BreezeMW]

I appreciate you going over your current chemicals with their designated dilutions and sprayers/foamers

[@CarsWithKeav]

No problem

[@victoryensured7137]

I really like it, didn't feel as an add at all. It's important, i want to know the Keav's current lineup, as we all know things change, new chemicals hit the market.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@victoryensured7137 Crazy the amount of chemicals it’s a bit overwhelming.

Great video. Appreciated seeing exactly how you use it and the benefit you get. Thank you

Appreciate that Bruce!

[@BXGreen_DrivewayDetails]

This thing is really cool. I never knew this was even a possibility. Thanks!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Leave it to the Germans to figure it and out charge big money for it.

[@TheBizcuit0426]

That fantikk sprayer JoshV shared his code, so I got it around $80, and you arr correct it's amazing. There are tons of preasure, and it's like using a real water hose again. Not for those who want to save water or maybe I am just excited and just blasting away currently.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Right now it’s $82 so still a great price. They had it on a special deal last night for even less. It is amazing. I found myself spraying too much because it was so fun. I’ve calmed myself down a bit and using less for rinseless. Reviewing their 4 gallon pressure washer soon.

[@TheBizcuit0426]

@CarsWithKeav for the last 2 years I found the easiest up until this was a 2 gallon Ryobi sprayer. Great preasure and self pumps plus long reach handle and easy to carry and store when done but I wanted something a little different so we shall see.

[@CJ_Detailing]

Great video, Keav. I have been eyeing this since I heard Matt talk about it, but after watching your video, I made the purchase. I have the Eley quick connects, but what is the stainless steel connect you have on the unit at 3:56? Thanks!

[@CarsWithKeav]

That’s actually the BSPP to 3/4 GHT adapter from my comet 1700. Easier to straight connect without that plastic part. I didn’t say anything about it as I have no idea where to buy it. 🤣

[@CJ_Detailing]

@@CarsWithKeav LOL Ok, thanks for the reply. I believe I know what you are using now and I possibly have something similar to use. Yes, the one downside of the Collomix is the plastic fittings. It seems like they made a top quality unit and then used plastic connection points. I wasn't a fan of those, so I am going to quickly change them out to something stronger. As you said in your video... when Matt gets it, he will change out all the fittings to stainless quick connects. But it will probably be $800 bucks. 😁

[@CarsWithKeav]

@ Thing is in Europe this is what they use. Everything already comes with those quick connects. The stainless quick connect stuff it’s all U.S. market. 🤣

[@dericknguyen3734]

Awesome video! Where is that small bottle you used with the pro blend for the nemesis rinse-less wash? Did they fit seem-less or did you have to make adjustments? Thank you

[@CarsWithKeav]

You always have to cut the straw down to fit, but other than that it fit just fine. It’s an old DIY detail bottle I peeled the label off.

[@debtennis1301]

Cool gadgets! Just in time for my Christmas list!! I also love Nemesis - the smell is amazing too even tho I know you don't care about that lol

[@CarsWithKeav]

Nemesis is some good stuff and the value on top of it.

[@themikeroberts]

Discussions like this show the other problem with a name like Nemesis instead of Rinseless. It's two very positive reviews, but if someone wasn't familiar with the name, they would have no idea that a rinseless product was being discussed and they don't know the brand. An alternative discussion would say Detail Co's rinseless and then every reader would the brand and what the product does.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@themikeroberts Exactly, I’m not into the whole naming thing. I prefer to keep it simple. Plus the labels are not easy to read in the finish and color they have so somebody unfamiliar would have no idea what bottle it rinseless.

[@gearlstrickland3365]

I have the same buckets where do I get the top so I can twist the lid on?

[@thomt1264]

I keep looking at these. Keep trying to convince myself I don't need to spend almost $300 on this. Now that you mentioned it was meant for concrete use I'm back to thinking I could use this for several lings around the house.

[@CarsWithKeav]

I use it for insecticides and lawn fertilizers as well. Also, just used it to top off my golf cart batteries. .3 quarts DI water in each one they were a bit low.

[@SolarSpaClub]

How do you set up your drainage under your tiles?

[@CarsWithKeav]

I have a network of 1 inch channels underneath that meet in the middle and drains out.

[@stevel3881]

I have an aerator connected to the end of my fill hose. It's connected via MTM QD's. Could you put on an aerator on this and dampen the shock when the water starts? Would the fill accuracy change?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Aerator is a great idea as long as it doesn’t slow down the flow you should be good. Not sure if you cause the machine to slow down would it mess with accuracy.

[@stevel3881]

@@CarsWithKeav what was the minimum flow required?

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@stevel3881 2.6GPM, but that’s I think is incoming flow. My worry would be flow coming through the device and then get limited after causing it to slow down and backflow.

[@davefgs2399]

Talking about Germany and Eu countries, do you know if there are any Armour Detail Supply distributors in Europe? I was only able to fine some in the UK but they don't ship out to other countries 😥 its always a nightmare to find products in this place

[@CarsWithKeav]

It’s tough to get products over there and still have them at a decent price. I know The House Of Rags is going international. Will take some time to get in distributors if they sell to Germany.

[@rooboy99]

Hi Keav, i posted a question on the Adams Preszure washer video a few days ago, re flow rate on a new K5 Karcher pressure washer. Its rated at min Flow rate of 7.3LPM (in Australia) or 1.93 GPM. I get this flow rate with their standard gun and no lance or tip. But as soon as i connect their lance it drops to 6.5LPM or 1.7GPM. Is this typical that companies are using the flow rate at the gun rather that at the tip? Ive got a 1/4" uberflex and mtm gun with a 030 tip, and i also get the same restricted flow rate. So its not just the standard Karcher lance thats causing the drop. Any thoughts please mate?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Most companies use the max internal flow and pressure it can achieve. It is almost never what it can do during normal operation. It’s all marketing you did get the max flow they stated just it isn’t what you get with the nozzle tip installed as it is restricting that flow to get the pressure higher. Going to a bigger nozzle will help to increase the flow, but the pressure will go down as well.

[@NewHorizonDetailing]

@Keav you should jump on it first buy a few and link it for some of us to get it before hand, lol Also I think it's a must have! if you are on the go and to be honest real time you can't just sit there to watch your bucket fill up, too time consuming but then you can do other things and walk away not worry about it.

[@CarsWithKeav]

It’s amazing just most won’t want to spend that kind of money.

[@victoryensured7137]

Liquor in Utah bars has to be dispensed with one of these! No heavy pours! 😂 Actually, I wonder if they liquor one would eork to dispense the cleaning products themselves, in the 1/2 to 1 oz volume those are used.

That is a really good idea. At bars I know they are hooked up via hose to tanks and c02 is used to dispense the liquid.

DIY incredible subs is $75 a gallon. Way overpriced!

[@CarsWithKeav]

Its super concentrated you barely use any product. Only one ounce or less in a foam cannon and one ounce in a bucket. Plus its $56 a gallon right now all month. Its about cost per wash and not about cost per bottle to me, but hey we all have our opinion on what is overpriced and what is not.

[@tonav1]

@ which is better DIY or Pans soap?

[@CarsWithKeav]

@ Pans soap clings like crazy and has great wetting ability which keeps it from drying out. Only issue is to get any good foam you have to use twice the product which can cost a lot in the end. DIY being slightly Alkaline does I think clean better as a pre soak. Both to me have the same lubricity.

[@MattDapson]

I thought it was $600. Good news.

@@CarsWithKeav So funny. Not buying it to fill two buckets once / twice a month to wash my car, but I did think to myself “half price.” 😂
