whatever happened to the mr clean system?

On another note...I found a local coin-laundry that sells RO water for $.25 a gallon dispensed into your own container.

If you say they are equivalent, that's great.

No need to try to change my words:
I didn't say they were equivalent.
Rather: "will have at least the same water quality".

Sheesh!!

I still do not see how the Watts 5yr filter is removing or adding anything that will improve the results when washing.

Geezy Pete!!

•From this discussion and the Watts' facts presentation...
-How did you ever come to that conclusion?

•Not once did I ever say or imply that it was to be used while washing/soaping-up vehicles...
-Just for rinseing!!

Why didn't you agree with the following?

Anyway...
__________________________________________________

The Mr. Clean Auto Dry System ((AD-System) specs.:

•The Mr. Clean AD-System used charcoal media to filter water (similar to a Brita water filter).

-Was the water coming out of the Mr. Clean Auto Dry System "better" than the water from a hose bib?
IMO: The answer is yes.
Was it as good as RO or DI? NO!

-Even though many people reported that The Mr. Clean AD-System was good enough to prevent leaving water spots on their vehicle...it in no way was close to being as pure as RO/DI water.
__________________________________________________

So...
I'll go as far as to say the Watts, and similar, in-line water filter "systems" will have at least the same water quality as was provided by the Mr. Clean AD-System.

And...
Isn't that basically what the OP was searching for?

Wrong!! The autodry filter contains 2 stages of resin and DOES deliver DI water. Instructions say it can rinse 2-3 cars. There is NO charcoal in the AutoDry filter.
 
still got one sat on a shelf in the garage at home, don't think i ever actually used it lol.

Don't run off yet...

Really? Are you sure?
Which Mr. Clean Auto Dry filters do you have?

Mine says it can rinse 10 cars.
It has the disposable filter cartridge made by PUR.
The filter media goes from Black (hmmm), to Dirty-Brown when the filter...
in its entirety...needs replaced.

Mr clean system is a di resin filter. It's actually what I based my home system on, I bought 3 filter housings,(1 for a 1 micron filter, and 2 for the di resins). Worked well for rinsing with fresh resin, but after a couple of cars, the water flow needs to be lower to maintain 0ppm water, what I do now is fill a 50 gallon barrel with city water, then recirculated the water in the filter using a cheap 12v water pump until the water is at 0ppm, then use another 12v 2gpm water pump to rinse the cars.
I'm around 300$ into my project now, but have the advantage that I can recharge my system for a couple of dollars instead of 80$ (just need some lye and muriatic acid, and some knowledge to do it safely)

The filter I was looking at is a starter filter. I do have a case of the replacement filters and now remember that the replacement filters do last longer. The manual with the nozzle states that the filters produce DI water. I will try to locate the replacement filters and see if they are different.
 
I still have mine in the case. I don't have any more filters or soap. It did what it was supposed to do.
