Clearinse 78200 Spot Free Single Cartridge Di System W/3 Way Valve In Head

This worked well being a compact filtration de-ionizing water system for a final rinsing application. I used this for doing a final pass of my motorcycle and worked well enough not to leave some spots. Do note that what the picture entails is what you get, hose along with the canister. One may need to build a stand for the cartridge. Along with using this as a final rinse, I used a cordless leaf blower to move the water drops away and off the bike. This is the most inexpensive way to have a spotless rinse system from all of my searching.

I have my Clearinse unit setup feeding off of a 5 gallon water jug which has drinking water I collected from my drinking water RO filter with 20ppm to 25ppm, this will prolong the life of the resin and will enable me to get more gallons with each resin cartridge refill. The other end is hook up to a Worx battery powered pressure washer to deliver the water from the water jug through the Clearinse to the car, you can use any pressure washer if you already have one. I've used approximately 15 gallons to wash my cars and so far and the Clearinse water still reads at 0ppm. For my wash bucket I use the Clearinse water with very little soap and it lathers much better than having to use more soap with tap water, but best of all I love being able to walk away after a final rinse and come back to a spot free shine. I know that there are several option for DI filters available, but like most people I didn't want to spend more than I had to for the same results. I have yet to use the bypass feature but I will update this review if I have something to contribute.

Do not buy if you live in Texas. Same amount of water spots using the filter then if you did not. Product does nothing.

Had a lot of trouble getting the bypass valve to work. It was stuck very tight. Used a vice and a pipe wrench to free it. I don't think it will be at all econonmical.

Works well. The car dries spot free even when the filter is fed our hard water (275 ppm). I wish that the selector valve was on top and more clearly marked. The only other thing that this item needs (and I didn't see one listed) is a wall bracket.

kicks ass for doing outside windows.

Filter doesn't last that many washes.

Excellent system
