Aquatic Life DI Spot-Free Car Rinse System

Super Excellent product!! Just remember that you have to be a very patient because of the flow it’s on the slower side however the results are spectacular at a very reasonable price!!

I've had a pressure washer hooked up in my garage for years. When I go to wash vehicles it's always ready, just hit the button and blast. And then when I got introduced to using a deionized rinse I saw life getting even easier by eliminating the most "work intensive" step...the drying! I wanted something just as simple but also effective, something I can get several uses from before having to recharge, not take up a lot of space and something that I could recharge using bulk resin because I hate the idea of buying throw away canisters and paying 4 or 5 times as much for the material which is already expensive. Also, I wanted it to be easy to see how my resin is holding up. This unit accomplishes all of that. I can recharge the existing canisters keeping costs down, one glance and I can see how resin is holding up and the whole thing mounts on the wall and takes up minimal space. And all that for under a hundred bucks (and about $25 in PVC)! So far I've washed my truck about 3 times and my car twice and used maybe 3/4" of resin. I don't know how my water rates for contaminates (I'm on town water) but I can say it looks like I'm going to at least get the entire season out of this before having to refill the canisters. And it does work just like they say, after washing and rinsing a vehicle I just give it one last rinse with the DI water and walk away. It actually dries more spotless than using a chammy which still can leave streaks. One cloudy day (about all we get here in upstate NY lately!) my truck sat in the garage and took over a day to finally dry, yet, not one single water spot! Update: It's been a year now and I can report, as I was hoping, the canisters did - albeit barely - last the entire season! My bag of resin came in last week, I'm about to refill them for this season. Looks like I'll get several refills (seasons) out of this $60 bag. For what I have invested this has been a most worthwhile acquisition, love the way this works!

Good dual filter system for effectively removing minerals that cause hard water spots. It comes with a mounting bracket so you will have to get creative and mount the system to something, preferably portable. I converted an old oxygen tank cart with wheels on which to mount the filters. The instructions recommend using a small diameter garden hose on the output side. You get better pressure and use less filtered water doing so. I purchased a 3/8" x 50' garden hose and holder from that store that sells things for a dollar. This cost only $12 bucks. I mounted the holder to the back of the cart and cut the length to 25 feet. More than enough to get around the vehicle. I also added a full port ball valve to the inlet side. Just keep in mind that this filter system is for the final rinse only, not for washing the vehicle, and definitely not to be used with a pressure washer. The filters turn color as they get used up and mine have been good for 4 vehicle washes so far. Your mileage may vary depending on how hard your water is.

This is a scam product. You weren’t told that the water pressure delivers at half a pound. That right… .5 lbs of pressure. This isn’t enough water pressure to build enough pressure in a hose to squirt water more than a few feet. Water literally dribbles out of the hose. It’s not fit for washing anything other than something small and waist high. Lastly I washed a full-size SUV and resin Was completely spent. Meaning the resin had turned light brown. It took so long to complete the washing and the rinsing of the SUV he completely spent the filters. I have no idea how I’m supposed to give this a satisfactory review. It was a complete letdown and I would say that I got ripped off based on my expectations of how it’s marked it on the site. I did not return it because I used it. Bottom line buyer beware that this is a product that would probably be good for washing a single window, a child’s toys, or something small like a motorcycle. It is completely insufficient for standard duty and I can’t imagine trying to use it to wash a house is worth of windows. It just wouldn’t do the job

I think some of the bad reviews on here are just from people who don’t understand the science behind how these work. This is meant to take total dissolved solids out of water by using chemicals in this resin to bind to and then break these solids up. It’s a chemical change and at a certain point (which the company even states is around 2000 TDS), yes, it will be depleted. The chemical runs out. That’s the limitation in how this resin works...it’s not really a function of how “good” this company’s product is. If you have water in the 200s which is ridiculously hard and you’re trying to process 30-40 gallons with this every time to do a car wash then I’d assume it would go fast. Like another reviewer said, it would probably be best for people with really hard water to first use an RO system with a tank to remove TDS first and then use this as the final polisher to bring it to 0. I’m fortunate to live in New York (where TDS is about 45) and so this works great. I don’t use it to wash my car but rather use it to fill a humidifier with demineralized water (too prevent scale ) and also for a fish tank to remove carbonates. It works great for both. Installation was easy, no leaks (if you remember to use the included plumbers tape) and has a high flow rate so that filling things don’t take forever. Measure the water every time and it always comes out 0 TDS every time. Straight from the tap. I’m not even prefiltering it. I’ve been using it for a week and the resin is still ocean blue so I think this will work. Love it

works fine but low rating because of the flow regulator. The flow regulator is in the wrong orientation, it should be on the inlet side. The issue is that it has a small oring on the hose side, and when the flow comes out and towards the hose, it blows the oring out and the flow isn't regulated anymore. It needs flow to go FROM the hose and into the unit with this fitting. BUT, if you swap sides, you have to get an adapter for your hose because most hoses connect to a female thread. I cannot find the oring once I found this issue, and I can't find any replacement fittings for this flow range either. Other than that, it works as advertised. It is just 2 inline filter housings, a bracket, resin cartridges, some fittings, and a nozzle.

Don’t know why a bunch of people have issues with this kit. I have rigged it up to fit my need and this filter works amazing. No more water spots on vehicles. The filter or its attachments do not leak. I’ve gotten used to how much water to send through the filters now. I get about 3-4 washes per filter. Less if it’s a large vehicle. For a DIY setup, this thing works amazing.

Works exactly as advertised. Couple of things to do to ensure it works as intended- 1) use as final rinse only - this does not have a high flow filter and not meant to be used for the whole car wash, only as final rinse. 2) make sure you put the filter in correctly in the canisters. It can go in backwards and if it does it won’t filter anything as water will just bypass the filter media. You can check with TDS meter (should read zero). 3) make sure you have the right nozzle to handle the low flow. Watch the videos they have on the best nozzles. Fan spray nozzles seem to work best. If you keep these tips in ind it should work well. My water was ~165 ppm (well water) and it reduced it to zero. Have used it to rinse my car about 5-6 times and the media has not shown any decreases in effectiveness and is still fully blue. Update: The filter media is still going strong after about 10+ rinses. One of the cartridges is starting to turn brown.

Bought this for work as it seems our water suddenly has been leaving a lot of residue on our vehicles. Got this set it up and first time I used it I noticed an amazing difference! No more water stains any left over water marks are easily wiped away all in all a great purchase and I’m very happy with it!

The output fitting is cheap plastic and doesn't seal properly, I can't get it to stop leaking. It may well leave my cars spot free but it's going to take some McGivering to get it to work properly!

Washing the car. It definitely works. Rinsed the car, left it to dry, no water spots.

I use it and it works great, make sure to buy the filters regularly and you'll have a great filter system. I also use a prefilter (like an rv one) for extra filtering.

The bracket and filters are good, the inlet and outlet fittings do not seal. The hose is of very poor quality.
