I have one I bought early last spring. I used it all season and had zero issues. It dropped my TDS from 150 to 1-2. Very impressive. I have "recharged" mine twice, I wash weekly 2 vehicles and only filter rinse water. It fed my 1800 Karcher cube just fine even in filter mode. Works good for me, I like it. The fittings are a little finicky, takes quite a bit to keep them from leaking.

[@CarsWithKeav]

The fittings are for sure lacking, but they work. Glad it worked out for you. Just about all the systems work as long as it’s sized properly to your water quality and some have to deal with changing more often than others.

What is your TDS going into the Filters? Here in Florida where I live its 683 TDS...in NY it was 117TDS and I was getting 0 TDS for about 2years and went up to 50 in 2.5yrs of use..and I maintain my vehicles every other weekend. Now living in Florida, these filters are more like door stoppers because the resin prices are insane. Mine setup failed even with new resin I was getting 150-200 TDS output, spotting started. Best and cheapest way to solve the problem of spotting is to ceramic coat the whole vehicle and all the trim..and then use your water hose to dry the vehicle since water doesn't stay on the vehicle. and just use a quality towel and pickup the droplets that didn't fall off the vehicle. My problem has been solved and saving hundreds of dollars.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Very nice I always dry, but use the spotless so just in case I get pulled away for something or don’t have time I know I’ll be alright. Incoming TDS makes a big difference that’s for sure I would reevaluate and use a reverse osmosis system and store the clean water to be used later if my TDS was that high. Thanks for the info.

Will you try a carbon filter in the first housing and fresh resin filled cartridges in 2 & 3 to see how that works? I see people comment in various places saying adding a pre filter of some sort (many commenters don't specify type) will help with resin life and increase total output. Thanks for all your tests. I'm a mobile detailer and the majority of my work is maintenance washes outdoors and often in the sun. I've been trying to decide between just a small water softener tank or a DI unit, they're just so expensive...so I continue to suffer lol

[@CarsWithKeav]

Chlorine or chloramine Carbon filter will help for sure when dealing with treated city water. With this setup running a carbon will help life, but depends on your tds as you are losing surface area to keep it spotless. I prefer a separate filter housing before the DI system to help deal with Chlorine and Chloramine.

[@CarsWithKeav]

@@pvmsupra9607 mine is 50 without anymore-filters. They will not change the tds much at all as what carbon filters remove is chemicals which are not solids. You would still be running 150ppm more than likely, but that is good water. It’s well below the national average of 200. If you are a mobile detailer are you using a gravity or pump fed tank? If you are RO water is a good option to really save on resin. They would bring your 150ppm water probably down to 15 or less.

[@CarsWithKeav]

From a cost standpoint for the hardware it’s hard to beat now how you value your time when it comes to doing refills is something to think of as well. Also, higher TDS water this might struggle and you’ll be refilling a lot and probably lowering the flow rate.

[@05xrunner]

you can add one of the Bulk Reef Supply BRS Universal Carbon Block Filter - 1 Micron and it will take care of all the Chlorine and Chloramines before it even hits the resin and make it last alot longer since chloramines will deplete it real quick

Absolutely you could, some people’s TDS might be too high though in order for the two filters to handle all of it. I run Carbon and Chloramine filters on my wall setup.

Quick question. I have a mobile detail setup always been curious of di water system but never ran one.

Would I connect this system to water tank first before my water pump. Or would i connect this system after the water pump

[@CarsWithKeav]

Pump before as the pump will try to prime and suck from the filter more than likely aerating the water in the filter housings. Before will help strain on the pump as well since it will be slowed down by this DI system which limits to 2gpm. If you need more flow I would suggest a Waterdrop or an FRP tank filter. I have done reviews on both.

[@Captdavis1]

With the bigger units that have the large filters, are you getting more water pressure? or is it just lasting longer?

[@CarsWithKeav]

As they get bigger it does allow you to run more flow due to having more surface area, but biggest thing is just length of time between resin refills. Some of these are restricted to certain flow and other just let you do as much as you want, but too much flow and the filters won’t have enough time to clean. CR Spotless for example can run 2.5 gpm and this one I wouldn’t go over 2gpm and if really bad water might have to run even less.

Will it work if i just buy a 10" filter housing around 4 and buy some resin filter, sediment filter, carbon block and put it inside and connect the water supply. Will it work properly and do the job done?

You can do that, but if the water is that bad you will be changing it out quite often. You can check out RV mods as well they have a modified tube you can use that allows you to pack straight resin in the housing without needing a cartridge. Gives you way more capacity. Make sure you have a carbon filter in there as well for chlorine among other things.

[@JohnBackman-y9t]

Can this run with an Active 2.0? What are your thoughts on this setup compared to your video back in September with the Waterdrop system?

[@CarsWithKeav]

Waterdrop is far superior in quality and the filters are twice the size so much more capacity. If money was not a problem I would do waterdrop all day over this. This is the more budget friendly option. They both will run an active 2.0 as long as you stay at a 4.0 orifice or less. I will say I think the waterdrop can do much more I limited my test to 2.1 GPM we could have gone higher. The Envig is maxed out at 2.0 and from time to time would drop to 1.9 so it will be at its limit for sure.

[@Enthusiast_detailing]

Always liked the idea of getting a DI system but with my ppm being around 400 I would burn through that resin big time

From what I heard, you’d need an RO system with holding tank for more efficiency when TDS is that high and run DI system after if the TDS is still not low enough

It’s sucks to have tds that high. Like mentioned by @pantac4493 an RO system with holding tanks is going to help out a lot. There are drawbacks such as you have waste water to dispose of during the process.

Hello Keav, between the Waterdrop and Envig system would you recommend. My TDS is at 320 ppm. I ordered the Spotbye, which I'm planning to cancel. I also order a 2 stage water filtration system as a pre-filter to extend the life of the resin.

​@CarsWithKeav reporting on the Envig results with pre-filter (carbon and sediment). Today I tested the tap water, it was at 156 ppm. After the prefilter it dropped to 119. With the Envig total success 0 ppm with a 2.3 gal waterflow. Based on Envig's estimate of 95 gal at 200 ppm at 119 ppm I should be getting around 152 gal of deionized water. Since I do 3 rinseless washes and one full wash per month for 2nd foaming and last rinse I estimate I will be using around 10 gals of deionized water per wash. Therefore the resin should last at least 12 -15 car washes. I will continue testing and reporting. As a retiree, I'm happy with this budget friendly solution!

Most of the housing systems like these even the very large ones run up to 2.5 GPM. They can go higher, but you lose a lot of efficiency.

For that ppm of water not much under $200 that could handle that. Most would not get to 0ppm and if they did would not last long. Anything over 200 you have to graduate to the bigger systems to have more resin to clean. Something like the Griots DI system works well, but it $300 and every time to you refill it’s going to cost $150.

@@ZoeyR86 That’s pretty cool something I will be looking into at some point as I will be switching to separated resins.

Colombia bam bam😂😂😂😂😂

[@CarsWithKeav]

That Bam Bam just keeps showing up I swear I don’t got a problem. More in future videos too just because it’s such an affordable substance. 🤣

[@Imjustherevibin]

Lol trust me I enjoy watching, and the bloopers just a plus 🤣

[@CMorHiking]

I just returned one of these units. My tap water is extremely hard at 678 ppm, but this unit only brought is down to 652 ppm.

[@CarsWithKeav]

You would never get 678ppm down to full spotless with this system and really any other system would not be worth it you would be replacing resin constantly. How fast were you running the water? You have to dial it down to 2gpm or the filters will never have enough time to clean. Your only choice really is reverse osmosis and storing the water, but you will get a good bit of bad water as well to dispose. Might want to look into DI tank rental as the only other option.

I TRY 2 FILTERS AND DID NOY GET ANY CHANGE AT ALL, JUST BS

[@CarsWithKeav]

Why 2 filters? This is a 3 filter system and it comes with all 3 filters? Are you even using the product in this video? I’m confused at what is stated, but based on the all caps and the “BS” I’m not sure you want to be helped you can clearly see in the video it worked for me. So many factors involved that could cause you issues such as bad water, connections hooked up wrong, product defect, bypass open or bad resin. Many have used this and love it’s performance so I know it can work.

Please lose the cRap tunes….

[@CarsWithKeav]

Doesn’t matter what music I use somebody won’t like it so I’m good with what I’m using.

[@loveracing1988]

That's a lot of money for a bag of fruit loops

[@CarsWithKeav]

You just don't know how good these Fruit Loops are though. LOL

[@robertwolters]

Weird nobody has Cation in one chamber and Anion in the other in a duel stage. Cation resin removes cations, anion resin removes anions. Cations are positively charged ions, such as ammonium, sodium, calcium, magnesium. Anions are negatively charged, such as chloride, bicarbonate, phosphate. Individually they can be recharged for very cheap. The only issue I see is Lye. Lye pure form isn’t the easiest thing to get. But this would be the absolute cheapest way to go. If you want to do it the way he’s showing I would suggest you also look at a resin packing kit like the one from 3Dprintedreef. They make life much easier. Once you get this on your hands it’s a PTA to get that dry feeling off.

[@bluray4687]

It's probably mixed resin i.e. It has both

[@Skdjiejxuje]

That’s what I do. I just regenerate my resin. I’m literally doing it right now only cost me $40 to do it for 1/2 a cubic foot of resin.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Mixed bed for most is just easier. I myself don’t want to deal with acids, bleach or lye. I only refill once a season, but if I went through resin a lot more I would have to entertain it.

[@CarsWithKeav]

Mixed for sure.

[@gaetanlizotte1957]

CHECK YOUR INLET HE WILL HAVE THE SAME READING, JUST DONT WORK AT ALL WITH 2 FILTERS, I TRY

[@CarsWithKeav]

I responded on your other comment.

[@harryharamah1303]

Can you put POWER WASHER on the OUTFLOW SIDE??? You never mentioned power washer.

[@CarsWithKeav]

As long as it is not more than 2GPM as that is the highest this can flow. That is the reason I have 2GPM as my goal since that is most electric pressure washers except a few commercial ones that can get more.
