Like I said, I've used it and this is well worth it! Even for us who don't have hard water, being able to wash the car in the FULL SUN and being able to walk away from it after rinsing it is pretty appealing. Really cuts down the time spent on washing a car.

Manufacturer says you will get 300-1200 gallons before you need to change the resin, depending on how bad your water is. Lets say 300 gallons the worse case scenario. Figure 15 minutes of spraying for a wash, that's 30 gallons per wash so about 10 washes.

I am asking if you measured it yourself because I know how to calculate your ACTUAL expected total production for the DIC-20 unit. I'm trying to help you and you are sending me links to information that I already know from personal experience. So never mind. Sounds like you are content with guessing. - Patrick |

In searching around online, here is my tentative plan, wanted to see how it compared to everyone else's routine: 1. Rinse car with hose (is a pressure washer really necessary?) 2. Spray wheels with wheel cleaner 3. Spray with waterless cleanser, allow to sit x 5 minutes (is this necessary?) 4. Rinse car with hose 5. Spray with rinseless cleanser, allow to sit x 5 minutes (is this necessary? The reason I'm using a waterless and rinseless cleanser is because of my desire not to do any wiping at all. Bad back and lazy work ethic. I figure I'd do both since I want to remove as much debris as possible without wiping but this might be redundant or just pointless altogether) 6. Rinse car with hose 7. Foam bomb 8. Rinse car with hose 9. Rinse car with deionizer (purchased from Costco) 10. Clean interior (less fancy here, Armorall wipes, handheld vacuum, and moistened microfiber towels where appropriate) |

I would think you will need a lot of pressure for a touch less wash, I have been through some touch less car washes and they were all high pressure, much more so than a typical car wash.

I am considering a CR System DI. After 2 years, would you purchase again? Also, to extend life of resin, couldn’t it only be used for rinse? |

And yes you can just use to rinse. I lucked out and had a whole house system put in and luckily the faucet on the front of garage is on city water and thus on my filtration system. So I have it built in.

I am using the Fleck 5600SXT 48,000 Grain Water Softener. This is the result of my consultation with the water softener company. It did a good job and did not leave a water spot on my car.

They fine you. California is in a perpetual drought. They steal all their water from Colorado. And it's not like they physically can't. But if reported by a neighbor etc. you know how it goes. I washed my car occasionally up in Ventura which is just north of LA. But we were always in the drought status due to less people sucking down the water supply.
