Here's what I have used... It's great, works well and is easily refillable. I use it for final rinse only! Nothing flashy, but it works!

I was thinking in terms more of a pre-filter prior to going into a de-ionized system....hopefully to save on how often the resin needs to be replenished.

Trying to see if I could make this work - price is good for testing out! Reviews don't seem great, like the water dribbles out of the hose and maybe only shoots out a few feet at most?? |

I chemically refresh to resin myself and chemicals are <$15 per refresh. There's extensive articles on how to do this in the aquarium community. |

I strapped mine down to a furniture dolly with some steel strapping and some screws and added quick connects for quick connecting between the water source and my power washer. It doesn't look all clean and fancy like some of these setups but it's quite functional.

I had a whole home filter and water softener installed today, anyone have experience with this? Specifically wondering if you’ve seen any improvement with regard to water spots.
Anyone know how comparable the filtration and softener is to the results you’d get from a deionizer? Thanks for any feedback. |

I have both and have since we built our home 13yrs ago.
They won't help your water spots much at all IMO! I would also argue depending on the quality of your well or city water, the whole house filter should be changed every month.... Quote:

You would be surprised what your local car detail stores have in stock, mine charges$230 for DI tank that lasts 400-500gallons and $65 to swap it out with a new tank

This is supposed to work just like the DIW20 kit, but better price point….guess I’ll find out! I bought a garden hose in-line filter to help reduce chlorine, which should help it last a little bit longer as well. |

This thread motivated me to do some research and (finally) order a DI setup. FWIW I went with the CR DIC-20. Ordered direct from them and got 10% off coupon by providing my email and with free shipping and no sales tax charged (to Ohio) it was $395 all-in. Nicer/larger setup that the water drop kit referenced here and don’t need to buy a TDS meter.

One thing is avoid turning on water full blast at the start. Surges can cause the resin to wear out faster. |
