From the manufacturer
Don't Let Water Spots Ruin Your Day
Water spots result from dissolved salts and minerals drying on your work surface. Remove these annoying spot-causing contaminants and allow the water to dry without leaving any spots by passing water thru a filter system that grabs the dissolved solids and releases hydrogen and oxygen. This process is called deionization and has been used by manufacturing and the medical profession for decades. The end result is you can wash, rinse and walk away.

I have 2 cars and a motorhome and I like washing them. They are all dark, metallic colors and I don't have a nice shady spot to wash them in. Being in Florida the sun can dry the car surface way before you can dry it by hand, leaving hard water spots that are make the car look worse than when you started. I'd been looking into building my own DI system for a while, but my time is limited and I could not find a good DYI project to copy. Another problem is that DI systems are lost in the noise of all the BS surrounding home water treatment systems which I mostly view as a scams. As usual, I figured the only way to know for sure would be to buy one, try it out and if it just doesn't work, send it back.
I ordered the CR systems (the large one) which uses mixed bead deionizing cartridges. The cartridges are replaceable, or you can buy new mixed bead resin for around $40/cartridge. $80 sounds like a lot depending on how often you have to recharge your system and since I just got mine I have no idea how long these will last.
Let me get the punch line out first. The system works great! I washed my Honda and Lexus and left them in the morning sun to dry. No spots at all. I washed the fender of my son's truck (dark charcoal) and rinsed it with the CR and let it dry. Then I sprayed about half of the area with normal untreated water and let that dry. See the attached picture for the results. The photo isn't great, but you can see on the left side obvious spots and nothing on the right side. The question of course is how long the systems will last before needing new resin beads. The manual says you should get between 800 and 1300 gallons per charge. We'll see. Another problem I've read about is that if you leave water in the system too long (I have no idea what "too long" means, algae grows and ruins the resin beads). Since I wash cars once a week, I'm hoping this won't be a problem. I also think the life of the beads has to do with how hard you water is and what types of contaminants are in there. I've just installed a new water softener for the house, so I'm assuming this will help increase the life between resin changes.
As far as the design and construction of the system itself I'd give the manufacture an A all the way around. The unit is on a nicely built tube cart with wheels. It seems to be very well balanced and I don't think it will tip over very easily. All the parts appear well engineered and built well. The only problem is a slight leak at where you have to install the hose inlets and outlets. The manual says to put at least two wraps of teflon tape on the threads (tape is supplied, and I put 3 wraps on). But water still dribbles out of the connection a bit. I'm going to take it apart and put another wrap or two of teflon and try it again.
Obviously this is an "out of the box" review with one day's use on it. I will update as I go.
I have been a hobbyist detailer since I could help my dad apply and remove wax (for about 30 years). For a little over a year back in 2010 I detailed professionally. I never did break down and buy a CR spotless system because I thought the price was too high for the potential reward.
A few weeks ago I washed my car and despite my best efforts ended up with very bad water spotting. Lots of rain lately has made our water mineral rich I assume, and the full sun was making it tough too. That's what broke me, and I ordered one the next day.
What I failed to understand most perhaps is the time you save by not having to constantly fight against the sun to keep the vehicle wet or to dry constantly as you go, and then not having to dry the vehicle off afterwards. That will make up for the cost to me alone.
I did 3 washes with this the first time I hooked it up (in full sun, 77° weather) and I didn't dry any of them. All three finished flawlessly. I can honestly say the best washes I have ever had (and that's probably at least 1,000).
On top of that, my black/polished very intricate and hard to clean wheels have absolutely never looked better. I only use high end products (as in typically not available in stores) and even with that and heavy rinsing and scrubbing every nook, cranny and surface of the wheel inside and out have never seen them be so clean with just a wash. The only difference is the CRS.
To say I am very pleased with the product is an understatement. I encourage you if you like to keep your vehicles clean to buy one now.
The system is very easy to use, and it will save tons of time.
If A few weeks ago while washing my car, I was too slow when drying my metallic black BMW 650i, and I ended up with some water spots on a small area at the rear of the car. Those spots turned out to be so impervious to any spot remover, that I eventually had to have a detailer buff them out of the paint, which of course removed the expensive Ceramic Pro coating I had. Before I reached that point, I decided that what happened to me, would probably happen again if I continued using hard water. After some research, the solution was clear. I needed a CR Spotless deionizer.
I received mine on time, and couldn't wait to try it out. Assembly was a snap, with little to put together, and very clear instructions. Within 20 minutes, I was hooking the nice stainless steel clad supply line, up to my very hard household water supply, and connecting my water hose to the output side of the unit. I attached the supplied spray nozzle, and immediately began washing my slightly spotted car. After the final rinse was finished, I proudly strolled into my house, confident that I would return to an air dried car with no additional spots. To my horror, the entire car was covered in water spots. I contacted customer service at CR Spotless to find out what they had done wrong. I have to say, John, and the rest of the staff, handle things promptly, with courtesy, and a knowledge that gets things solved quickly.
You see, if you take mineral filled, hard water, and put it through their DIC 20 System, the water will reach the output fitting mineral free. This is the important part of my review, and my main purpose for writing one.
DON'T USE AN OLD HOSE ON THIS UNIT!
The 10 year old garden hose I attached to the outlet, was so contaminated with minerals, that the deionized water
dissolved many of them on its way through the hose, and then redeposited the minerals on my black car. These spots we're so tenacious that I eventually had to have them buffed off, and my expensive ceramic coating reapplied.
Switching to a new hose, dedicated to this unit totally solved the problem of spots. Now I can rinse the car and walk away with no towel drying. When I come back, the car is beautiful!
Don't hesitate to buy this deionizing system, just don't use it until you get yourself a new water hose!
It should be common sense, but I didn't think of it, so I hope this review keeps someone else from making the same expensive mistake I did.
