Deionizer for water spots

[flyu2there]

Ditto on the CR and ditto on Costco. Prices are all over the map from other suppliers. We found the output pressure a bit anemic so attached the unit to a pressure washer.....perfect!

I like the idea of recharge without sending out. Which model are you using for appox 25 washes ?

That I think would be about right.

I use the DIC-20 model and I also use a pressure washer

Thank you so much for the info I will check them all out I am on a well here in V.A. Lots of water but a lot of iron. I am on a spring at the house which is about a mile from my bus barn and water checked out perfect guess I am on two different water sources.

I have a question for the group, At my motor home barn I have everything but good water, It has a lot of iron in it 12ppm. I have a filter that has a media that is backwashed everyday, but I can not use it to wash my bus because it leaves spots; I have been told you can buy a deionizer at camping world and hook to your water supply in the barn and it will not leave spots just wash and let dry, does any body use this type thing and does it work and where do you get one ? I have used waterless cleaner but do not like to because of fear of scratching the paint. Thanks Gary

Gary,
I bought the mixed bed deionizer standard model from On The Go Portable Water Deionizers www.portablewaterdi.com. It is unbelievable. I've used it twice now and the bus is spotless. You can throw away the chamios and stainless steel polish. You don't have to send it in to be recharged and they sell mixed media refill packs in bulk. Supposedly, you can get 6 washes out of one filter pack, but I checked the TDS after the last use and the reading was 5. A reading of 50 TDS or less will produce spotless water and I suspect that I'll get more uses than six per charge. Hope this helps.

Gary, I also have used the Invisible Chamois that Truk4u talks about. It has worked great and no problems. I have yet to return for a recharge, but have found out most local water softener companies can also accomplish this without the shipping back charge, if you are interested? I too have a pressure washer mounted on the bus for the work.

Can't find too many parks that will let you wash your own bus.

Wash / Rinse with regular water, and then turn on the Di water for the final rinse. Works like a charm.

Sponge,

Tell me more via e-mail on how to not have to send this bad boy back for an overhaul.

I also have the Invisible Chamois. It works great. The guy used to call me wanting to recharge it but it is yet to need it. I guess he gave up.

Include me on the local water softener instructions

Thanks
