Yes, you need to keep the flow rate of the water below 3 gallons per minute to allow the resin to thoroughly clean the water. Pressure washers do a good job or use one of the supplied restrictors inserted into your hand held hose nozzle.

How does it work?

As the water passes through the resin all the spot causing minerals in the water cling to the resin beads and the clean water continues on to provide spot free water.

Will it remove my wax?

No, it will not remove your wax and now you do not have to worry about tiny scratches caused by drying towels or chamois.

Does it have to be plugged in to work?

No, the electricity plays no part in cleaning the water. It is only there to tell you when the water is going to spot. However, we highly recommended that you do plug it in. When the water is flowing and the light is on (red) then the water is spot free. When the light goes out then the water is going to spot. There is no way to know when the water will spot without the light plugged in.

Will the resin go bad if I don't use it?

Yes it is possible. After long periods of non-use there is a possibility that algae can form and foul the resin. If it is going to set for a long period of time with out use (60-90 days) we suggest that you remove the resin cartridges, allow them to drip dry and dry the inside of the gray housings to prevent algae growth.

Do I need to use a special soap?

No, just use your normal soap and make sure you rinse thoroughly wherever water can be trapped.

Can I drink the water?

No, please do not drink the water. Pure water has no nutritional value.

Can I hard plumb it into my house?

No, it can harm some of your interior household plumbing.
