Very nice lay out, so neat too. I've had my eyes on a few deionize systems and some one recommended this particular brand. Please keep me posted oh what you think of the systems, what's good about it, what's bad about it ect...ect.
Oh yes, welcome to AutoGeek.

My Thoughts
Well it all began when I first got the Mr. Clean Autodry wash system, I was pretty amazed that the car dried spotless. So I did some online research and the whole trick of the Mr. C.A.D is the filter, a mini DEIONIZER, I thought it always was the soap that did the trick. Anyway I ended up with a "PRO" version, "On the Go" Deionizer. So far no complaints what so ever. The cars come out SPOTLESS, I'll explain how its works-->
--> Dissolved minerals are the culprit for water spotting after rinsing, deionization units have a resin that removes negatively charged ions, such as Fluorides, in the process. The result is mineral-free water that leaves no water spotting after rinsing.
I live in Southern Ontario, the water here is 400 TDS that is very high, the unit comes with a TDS meter, after the deionizer the water reads 003, before is 375, wow takes all the crap out. I have a water softner in the house aswell, it helps with the DI unit, I connected an extra filter unit before the Di unit just to give it that extra clean approach. That was totally my idea, so I guess its not really recommended!! I paid 330 CAD for the unit from On the go (with shipping). According to On the go If I rinse my cars off within 2 minutes of use from the DI unit, I should get about 80 rinses, just monitor with the meter thay supply you, heres what the readings should be:
Excellent level-- Less than 15PPM TDS
Satisfactory-- Greater than 15PPM but less than 50PPM TDS
Poor--Greater than 50PPM TDS
I beleive in the U.S the TDS is not so high so you'll get way more rinses, it is $40-$50 for the replacement resin. It takes me less the 2 minutes and then I use my leaf blower, what can I say SP
TLESS!!!!!!!!!!

That thing is pretty cool. Might have to look into it since my kit from AG just isnt cutting it! The filter before the DI is a great idea. Is it another water softener filter, or a sediment filter? And what psi and GPM is the pressure washer you're using with this DI filter?
The only SLIGHTLY negative thing about that DI kit is the light has to be plugged in, doesnt run on a battery. Thatll make it a little bit of a pain for me to use. But Ive got a TDS meter already, so it wont be a big deal, Ill just have to check it manually.

Yes I looked into the crs spotless system, they are based in California, but do have a Canadian distibutor (can't remember their website) anyway they were way over priced, so I decided to go with the "ON THE GO" cause the Cad. dollar is very strong and exchange rate was good! Again my PW has 1200 psi and is 1.6 GPM.
