Do DI systems work?

[FROGMAN524]

Like this one? For washing cars and the boat?

Simple Chuck (High Output) - CR Spotless Water Systems

We took over a decade of experience serving tens of thousands with the magic behind the science of deionized water and created Simple Chuck- a line of products that must be so simple that Chuck would use it! Enter the Simple Chuck- a proprietary system with more capacity and is 100% MADE IN USA...

I’d say yes. I have a smaller one I use for the cars and the house windows. Comes out to about $6-$7 per wash.

I wash, use my leaf blower to blow of the majority of the water, wipe the windows and then wipe the rest of the car down. Pretty easy stuff.

I have the same

Works as long as you're not in a windy dusty area..

I still find myself drying but I don't need to rush to dry and don't need to put that much effort into it

The di rinse system last longer, 2,000 gallons

@FROGMAN524 I’ll text you my set up way cheaper then that and it works! Cost me about 170 all in. If you YouTube systems you can see a lot of different options for diy setups.

I have it through culligan. $59 a month, tanks last for about 1200 gallons, $200 for a new set. Figure washing the modtorhome once a month which was costing me $200 and it pays for itself.

I have a cr spotless to wash my dually. It’s just so big to rinse wash dry it takes like an hour. So I rinse with the cr spotless and a ryobi pressure washer. Don’t bother drying. So far I’ve only had to replace the cartridges once it works great. I used to foam canon but found it just uses a LOT of soap compared to a bucket.

Check out Puretec. I use to have that 2 tank system when I drove the semi for a race team and went to the one larger one for at home and it’s only $15 a month and I think $49 for tank swap. Definitely get more out of the one big tank.

I go to my local water conditioning and softener supply store and get a d/i tank. It is roughly the size of a water softener tank. A couple of fittings along with a quick connector for the hose and i am good to go. I pay the initial deposit and then tank exchange.

The key for me is to wash the vehicles and boats with regular soft water and use the d/i only for final rinse. Even at that, i set the flow rate at the valve just high enough to produce a mist out of the spray nozzle, think pressure washer wand without the pressure. I will either leave the vehicle in the garage (shade) to self dry or drive home and air dry.

This is what I have and would never get rid of it. All i do is use leaf blower when done and thats it. It last a long time as well i use it on my big rigs and all

Using a hand truck I made this Mobile Simple Chuck DI System With Pressure Washer

 

[McKay]

Yes they work great. I have a little bit larger u it that I got from dirinse.com.

Lasts about a year and half before refill which is about $220 shipped per refill. I clean a decent sized Cat, sxs, golf cart, sleds etc quite a bit. Well worth the cost. My unit is the one that holds 1cu/ft of resin.

The pressure washer will work as a flow restriction.

In Alabama we have the one tank and it’s good for 2500 gallons

$41 a month from Culligan. We don’t have the shit water that havasu does here so the culligan guy says it may go 3000 gallons. With a pressure washer my 42 foot motorhome takes 40 gallons, cars and trucks take about 10.

Yeah that’s about what I get out of it too.

I’ll post my setup tomorrow when I wash the boat bikes and trucks. Give a little more in detail of my setup. It’s my first and I already have things I want to imrove! But it works and is way cheaper then most set up.

I washed my truck in the heat last week and vegas has 250+ ppm
