APEC WATERSystems 20" Car Wash De-Ionization Replacement Filter for CWS-300

The order came quick. Test the product to see how many gallons I get out of it.

great

There is a trick to getting just a few washes out of these as others have said.. personally I feel these should be pulled from market as many others have said it only doesn’t spot the first few times. Huge amount of money to pay for these filters when you only get a few uses out of them. At least the manufacturer should update how to use these correctly. However I have found what works best with getting more life out of these is when you are done rinsing and using then screw off the filters dump out the water that’s remaining- careful it will be heavy when pulling the filters off full of water- turn them or flip upside down gently and let the white filters drain all the water out. Dump the remaining water from the large blue casings/ tubes also. I feel this is where the filters fall short- if you keep all the hard water/ garden hose water sitting in there the resin filter that’s purifying that water you just used just stays in there and the resin - deionization process goes quickly. Now when you empty the filters full of water and effectively drain them your pro longing the life and therefore getting more spotless washes. Kind of ridiculous you have to go through so much effort figuring this out yourself and it’s a bit labor intensive unscrewing the filters full of water and flipping them upside down and draining them then screwing them back on and the gaskets it’s a little tedious.. especially when you’ve paid 70 each a filter. Manufacture needs to pull these or update guidelines in my opinion.. I have purchased 6 times over the course of 2 years lasting about 4 months at a time washing my car every once every two weeks at home

Ok so I bought 2 of these and put them in the big blue and have a small 10 in pre filter in front of it on a cart and all that. We build them at work so I modified one of the old cart’s. Wish I had a picture. Anyways used it last weekend and omg this thing worked great. Even washed the car with it and purposely let the car air dry and not one spot but then did the other car and got a few spots even though I dried this one off. But the spots weren’t too hard to get off. Wiped them off with a damp microfiber towel. Then I put it away and used it again this weekend got more spots. They’re not really too bad or hard to get off but basically it only works great for the first time and that’s it. lol. For the price of each filter not sure if I’d buy them again. Gonna try it again tomorrow and should be able to make my decision. well I used it again. spotted up really bad and I even dried the truck off. spotted up before I could even dry it..its not my soap cause Im using good soap and rinsed it off thoroughly.the filters are plain and simply not working...got a couple of washes out of them and thats it..missed the return window by 2 days that sucks cause they,re like 70 bucks each..but will definitely never buy these again at all and will tell every one I know that is considering these to not purchase them, total junk. just talked to my friend that just purchased that 400 dollar one on amazon with the same 2 filters inside told me that his only worked for a couple of washes too just sitting in his garage collecting dust.not worth it at all to me. wish I would have talked to him before I bought these. once again . JUNK. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND... WASTE OF MONEY...
