CR Spotless DIC-20

I ordered their bigger system, also from Costco. I already have twin 5-micron filters, a softener, and a "berm filter", but I figured a deionized final rinse sure won't hurt anything (well, except my wallet :o ). Gotta get a pressure regulator for it so my boosted water pressure won't cause issues, then we'll see if it yields any benefits.

How is the Costco system working for you? I am interested in the same one and also want to go with a water softener.

It's working very well. I usually only use it to rinse off the dog-haulers but it's super for that. I still dry them (I figure there's always a little non-DI water left that might spot) but I dunno if it's really *necessary*. Note that for me, "drying" them isn't a huge deal as I blow most of the water off with the AirWand anyhow and the drying process is more a matter of spritzing/buffing off some QD for a just-detailed appearance.



Cool thing: last Sunday I'd washed the Yukon only to have it get messed up a few hours later while running an errand in some bad weather. It was covered with dirty water and the rear liftgate looked *REALLY* dirty with lots of brown dirt clearly visible. I gave it a good rinsing with the CRSpotless and then blew it off with the AirWand. It didn't come out *perfect* by any means, but it's sure nice enough that I don't need to rewash it and I couldn't have done that without the CRSpotless.



Note that excessive water pressure can wreak havoc on the CRSpotless's resin life. My boosted pressure would trash it in no time, so I have a 40psi limiter in place. I *think* that 40psi is a bit on the low side for normal household pressure (my household isn't normal so I dunno) so you might keep the limiter in mind. RV stores sell 'em for a few bucks.
