Calcium and magnesium ions in hard water crystallize into hard-to-remove calcite stains that become noticeable especially on shining surface like a new vehicle, which can't be removed with towel. In DI system, all ions (TDS) are exchanged, leaving the water with pure H2O. No more worry about stain. And better enough, you don't even need to towel dry your vehicle. The resin will change color from blue to amber when exhausted, leaving no chance of mistake in knowing when to make a replacement.
·EFFECTIVELY REMOVES HARD
WATER SPOTS – Hard water spots are caused by high TDS (calcite) in the water.
When water passes through the resin, TDS (total dissolved solids) are removed. The
system will remove approximately 225 grams (225,000 PPM) of TDS (about 1000 gallons of zero ppm deionized water at 60 PPM of tap
water) before you need to replace the resin. This water deionizer for car
washing delivers a spot-free rinse without you having to towel dry. Rinse your
vehicle using the spot-free car rinse unit and let air dry. It’s as simple as
that.
·INLINE TDS MONITOR ON
HANDLE BRACKET – To know when to make deionization resin replacement to avoid
scale stain on your vehicles, you can simply check the in-line TDS meter
conveniently, which will display of TDS of the filtered water real time and any
time. If it gets to 5 PPM, you can still wash and rinse your car with no stain,
but it is time to order replacement bags of resin. You can avoid the hassle and
interruption of collecting water samples and testing with a separate TDS pen.
Use the handle bracket to conveniently carry the system around and to open the
tank for resin refill or replacement.
·BYPASS VALVE FOR CONVENIENCE
– Pointing the bypass valve to the bypass loop, you can use your existing hose
sprayer to wash and clean your vehicle with no need to change water source or
set-up. When it is time to rinse, just turn the bypass valve in line with the
filter tank, you will be able to rinse with TDS free water. The custom bypass
valve is built with durable solid brass ball valve with swivel garden hose
connector. The 5/8” OD 304 stainless steel braided bypass hose allows high flow
of tap water for wetting and soap washing of your car, truck, motorcycle, RV,
solar panel or whatever that you need to mix use tap and DI water.
·MORE REMOVAL CAPACITY
AT BETTER PRICE – At 50-60 PPM of TDS, Envig CarShine 817 deionization water
system is able to produce about 40% more De-ionized 0 PPM water than CR
Sportless DIC-20, at a 20% less expensive per zero PPM gallon of water . It has four times more resin than our original three-cartridge Envig
CarShine system.
·PROPERLY REGULATED
FLOW – The flow rate of the filter water is regulated at 2.4 GPM, a level
purposefully chosen to maximize resin life and allow you to use pressure washer
or nozzle sprayer of your choice, while maintaining zero PPM. It is an optimal
balance that you would appreciate in avoiding some of the shortcomings of other
systems. It is a design anchor point that we have always maintained in our
CarShine systems.
How much DI water can CarShine produce before the need of resin replacement
Each system can remove at least about 180 gram of magnesium or 288 gram of calcium. TDS is expressed as ppm or mg/L. Assuming you have only magnesium or calcium in your water, the amount of DI water in gallon can be produced is between 188000/(your TDS number)/3.785 (for magnesium) to 288000/(your TDS number)/3.785 (for calcium). Below are theoretical minimum DI water production capacities. In reality, you should see capacity in between the numbers
