Let your vehicle shine with TDS free water

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.

* No need to towel dry after wash

* Three cartridge for faster flow and longer life

* Color changing DI resin to know exactly when to make replacement

* Each system will remove at least about 45 gram of magnesium or 72 gram of calcium (check how many DI water it can produce below)

* Properly regulated for maximum TDS removal

Use bypass valve for different water type

With the integrated bypass valve, you don’t need to make changes in water source or have two different set-ups during vehicle wash. Simply turn the handle for bypass mode or filtered mode. In bypass mode, water flow uninterruptedly for the powerful jet to wet, remove dirt, or wash off soap. In filtered mode, rinse your vehicle as the last step. The bypass valve allows you to extend the resin life by separating different wash needs.

Keep using your existing nozzle sprayer (not included)

Use spot free DI filtered water for final rinse of your vehicle by turning the bypass valve into filtered mode. You don’t need to change nozzle sprayer. Keep using your existing and favorite tool. As the filtered water flow is slower, there maybe short moments that you want to pause for the pressure to build up. Switch mode on the nozzle if necessary. After the TDS free water rinse, you don’t have to towel dry your vehicle.

Change color when it’s time to replace

Color-changing indicates when to replace your resin bed. When exhausted, Envig DI blue resin changes to amber, leaving out the guesswork of when to replace the resin to ensure your vehicle is always shining spot free.

  • Wet

    In bypass mode (bypass
    valve handle pointing away from the filter), wet vehicle with tap water.

  • Clean

    In bypass mode (bypass
    valve handle pointing away from the filter), rinse soap off vehicle with tap
    water.

  • Rinse

    In filtered mode
    (bypass valve handle pointing to the filter), spray vehicle with spot free DI
    filtered water

  • Car

  • RV

  • Boat

  • Solar Panel

How much DI water can CarShine produce before the need of resin replacement

Each system can remove at least about 45 gram of magnesium or 72 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 45000/(your TDS number)/3.785 (for magnesium) to 72000/(your TDS number)/3.785 (for calcium). Below are theoretical minimum DI water production capacities. In reality, some users have seen capacity higher than this.

TDS (magnesium or calcium only)--------------------minimum DI water production (gal)

50---------------------------------------------------------236 - 380

200---------------------------------------------------------59 - 95

500---------------------------------------------------------24 - 38

1000--------------------------------------------------------12 - 19

2000---------------------------------------------------------6 - 9.5

Add an Envig chloramine garden filter to extend the life your DI resin

Chloramine and chlorine are chemicals for city water disinfection. They are known to shorten the life of DI resin. Chloramine is a hard to remove chemical. Regular activated carbon does little in its removal especially at water flow of a garden hose. Envig catalytic carbon has 10 times more chloramine removal capability and can reduce chloramine from your city tap water up to 80% (chlorine is much easier and can be easily removed by the filter). It has been used to extend the life of DI resin in the car wash unit and other products that use DI resin.
