The water is very hard in my part of Somerset (320+ ppm), I started with one 25 litre DI Vessel but it didn't last long so now use another DI vessel; the first contains the older resin and that reduces the ppm down to a low level and the second (doesn't have to work so hard) brings it down to 0ppm. Having a black car this means I can let it dry on its own without it leaving any marks, especially on a sunny day. I get my resin from window cleaning suppliers.
@@denguefever9489 Hard to say really as it will depends on how you use it (wash buckets, pressure washer, rinsing), best bet is to get yourself a TDS meter and regularly check the ppm. I also use a water flow meter which tells me how much I've actually used. Currently using 80-100 litres per wash.
I ordered the 7 litre one will go well with my 10.5 resin saver di great for purewater window cleaning on my mobile trolley that uses a four filtration system and believe me the di vesssl will be the winner for my windows
Don’t use through your pressure washer, it won’t last long!, I was told by raseglaze to have a reduced flow through a hosepipe is enough, so I just kink the hose to get the desired flow.
I remember a good few years ago flash had a car cleaning gun that used filtered water and had no need to dry the car after, everyone slated it saying it would damage the paint and here we are!
@@TheDetailingSpace I had one used it a couple of times if I remember the replacement filters cost more than the whole kit, that was another buy destined to die a horrible death in the back of the shed
People use di resin water for fish keeping its just water that has had all minerals taken out of it so it can’t damage anything tbh for car washing that’s over kill
Great video but pure water damaging a pressure washer??? The fact that it's pure water is better for pressure washer internals rather than water filled with lime.
@@TheDetailingSpace Sorry, I know this video is old now but just a couple of points: 1. A PW would actually be more efficient on water than a watering can since they require a lot less water with a more gradual flow and wide area of effect to push the unfiltered water off the car. There's no need to try and 'sheet' water off the car when using DI water as you don't need to worry about water that stays on the panels as it contains no solids. The whole idea of sheeting was when using unfiltered water to rinse, you ended up with less of it staying on the car. 2. The reason DI water is said to damage a PW is because the filtered pure water is extremely hungry for minerals. As a result, when it moves through the PW and comes into contact with brass/nickel parts, it will attempt to leech minerals from those metals. This can result in tarnishing or corrosion of internal fittings which may eventually result in leaks or particles breaking of and damaging the pump etc. It's the same reason why you shouldn't drink this water, it has no mineral value for you and will in fact pull minerals from your body. It may also damage things like your teeth enamel as it seeks calcium etc... Still a good video though, keep up the great work!
@@oliverwilliams5169 The key is to create a wave of water over the car, to ensure full coverage, rather than blasting water at and largely off it. An open hose or the watering can gives more control, hence economy of use and lower costs.
The first few shots wuth the yellow hose was also filtered water. I just didn't want to carry the "vessel" around the car with me. And if you use a long piece of hose, you waste a lot of filtered water....
@@TheDetailingSpace I drain the water from the hose in to 5 litre bottles and use it in my screen wash to help prevent/reduce water marks...yes, I'm weird :) Also good to use in your iron ;)
@Dazzo_UTO How long it last depends on the size of your vessel, how hard the water is and how much you use. I use it through my 18 year old Karcher to rinse after snow foam, and then just out the hose to rinse after contact washing. I fill up my wash buckets with filtered water too (technically de-ionised water). I also use a water flow meter to measure how much I use; normally about 100 litres but sometimes up to 200 litres per wash.
The way it’s set up not long in shrimp and fish keeping we run the water though around 3 or 4 filters before it goes though the resin to polish the water at the end.
Disconnect the hose from your pressure washer and connect to this... That's it... I have a small length to attach to the outlet to fill a watering can... Hardly a faff, and not like you're going to disconnect from this back to your pressure washer as this would be towards the end of a detail when you're done with the pressure washer.
Detailing World oh, if you’ve tried any twisted loop is that one better. I’ve already got 3 twisted loop but they just aren’t great on unprotected cars which hold onto the water
I'm not sure. Not saying it will, just read a few places online saying pure water doesn't do the internals any good.... Not sure how or why? Seems incorrect to me. Afterall, distilled/0ppm water is used in cooling rigs on water cooled PCs etc, and if they have a leak, providing the power is off, they let the board dry with no consequence. I believe this is due to being no mineral deposits to damage the components
@@TheDetailingSpace I will speak to my friendly Kranzle dealer. I also buy my replacement resin (Unger brand) for around £70 for three refills. I know Race Glaze sent it to you for free but window cleaning supplies are much more economical for the consumables. I change mine when the water gets to 20 ppm. I would recommend one they are a great bit of kit.
Detailing World Its actually the risk of some of the resin getting into the pressure washer internals. You can purchase a mesh filter for the out-side of the canister to prevent this 👍🏼
You get around 700L of filtered water through it (depending on hardness). So I guess it depends how much water you use to rinse? I filled the watering can twice and rinsed the car, not sure how much the can holds though.
Hi witch was the Walter filter you had before this one I'm sure you did one an it was not zero oppm filte It was around £99 pounds sure you did a different one
Hi thanks I remember looking one up 99 pound I'm sure I see it on your channel . The one I'm thinking of its not this sorry it is got mixup with this when I was looking at this on web page back ground was in White
Yes. But if they wash when it's too hot, they may not dry quick enough. Plus you can also use 0ppm water on your polishing pads, or simply to rinse the car, knowing that any drips later from grilles etc won't leave water spots behind.
Well I live in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA it’s a dry desert out here everthing dries quick and our water is pretty hard. So this would help. But I can’t get it here sadly.
When you get older, especially if you have back or joint issues which will be very likely, you'll see that finding less reasons to bend and attractive solutions to help are worth the money.

Nice. It's good to have knowing that when the inevitable water drips from a mirror or badge or something it won't leave water marks behind.
I live in Somerset too. Am I fucked cos I just bought a 7l one. How long will it last?

@@Dave-pv1qr I'll only use it on the final rinse so should only be around 10l, hopefully it lasts
@@denguefever9489 You should get around 400 litres so a fair number, but do be quick.
Just got one of these and found this video, excellent as always. Brilliant idea with the watering can!
Thank you 👍

Correct. Many are like that. Plus you'd only use it for final rinse, not a pre rinse or wash stage
I remember a good few years ago flash had a car cleaning gun that used filtered water and had no need to dry the car after, everyone slated it saying it would damage the paint and here we are!
I remember that. Not sure if it was a Flash one though. My brother bought one and I think we used it once 🤣

Think I've had this since the start of the year but only used a couple of times.
I’m in Scotland. Water is great here. Good product though.
Lucky you 👍
Detailing World you say that now but summer never arrives.
Someone explain to me what the point of this video was? If you're going to towel dry it anyway how did this show whether it even works?
Great video but pure water damaging a pressure washer??? The fact that it's pure water is better for pressure washer internals rather than water filled with lime.
Just what I've read online. Not saying it's true. But let's be honest, you'd go through a lot of resin if you did run it through the pressure washer
I’ve just been looking and can’t find anything about it damaging a pressure washer
OK, that's good xxx I honestly can't see how or why it would

I often rinse mine off with rainwater out my water butt
👍
The point is so you don't need to dry it and risk swirls. Why use it then dry like you did?
Yeah, I wondered that!
Is it ok to put in a metal watering can 🤔
As long as it's clean and not started rusting... Can't see why not.
Just left you a sub bro
Cheers 👍
It's like watching a video in the 90's using a watering can to dry the car. Is it not possible to apply via pressure washer ? How long do these last ?
The first few shots wuth the yellow hose was also filtered water. I just didn't want to carry the "vessel" around the car with me. And if you use a long piece of hose, you waste a lot of filtered water....
You could use in a pressure washer I guess, but you'd soon zap the life out of the resin, and I've also read that pure water can damage the internals.

What protection do you have on the car in this? Sheets water nicely
Dodo Juice Hard Candy about a month or 2 ago and topped up with Dodo Juice Future Armour about a week before shooting this
Seems a bit of a faff changing the hose over each time and filling a watering can. Not sure if the added cost is worth it tbh

Hardly a faff, and not like you're going to disconnect from this back to your pressure washer as this would be towards the end of a detail when you're done with the pressure washer.
Why did you dry the car with a towel at the end? Isn't the point of the filter to remove the need for drying and contact with the paint?
old habits die hard
*opens RUclips*
*sees 1 minute old video*
Hell yeah!
🤣
Boom
#DWSquad 😎
Is that a yum cars drying towel? If so what’s it like compared to other towels on the market?
It is indeed. Probably the best waffle weave I've ever tried
Detailing World is it better than a klin twisted loop? Been eyeing them up every time I go in the shop but haven’t made the leap yet 😂
Not tried one of those to compare it to. Sorry
Detailing World oh, if you’ve tried any twisted loop is that one better. I’ve already got 3 twisted loop but they just aren’t great on unprotected cars which hold onto the water
Definitely worth a try. It changed my mind on waffle weave towels
Vyair 11L vessels are only £90, why do you think 0 PPM water will damage your pressure washer?

You get around 700L of filtered water through it (depending on hardness).
So I guess it depends how much water you use to rinse? I filled the watering can twice and rinsed the car, not sure how much the can holds though.

Hi iv just come across this one. Crystal Water Filter 6.L from pump Express also do 25.L one though you may be interested an have a look 🤞
how can it damage your pressure water?
Yes I was thinking the same thing. I suspect he’s got himself confused with what he has read.
Can people not just dry there cars
Yes. But if they wash when it's too hot, they may not dry quick enough. Plus you can also use 0ppm water on your polishing pads, or simply to rinse the car, knowing that any drips later from grilles etc won't leave water spots behind.
