Nice, you'll like it FMINUS water spots are going to be a thing of the past.

Um...where does it leak? Becuase mine always leaks at the house connections. If it's leaking at the house connections that's nothing..well at least I dont' think it's anything to be worried about..oh just as a heads up I'd purhcase tons of the resin chargers becuase depending how hard your water is you may have be changing the chargers often. Here is what I recomend:

Well considering I do one vehicle per weekend....oh but when I do a firetruck I use lots of water. I've been getting about two months out of my filters and then they need replacement. I need to replace the resings on mine, I didn't realise how bad the water was here. If you use the CR system on a daily basis you'd be lucky if you get a month out of it...well it all depends on how bad your water is. I usually don't change the resints till the radings are over 100. Right now the readings in my system is saying 150 so it's time to change it.

Did you test ur water levels without using the CR? Do you know what they are at?

So at $200 per resin case, 67 bucks a refill, each refill lasting 2 months = 8 cars.

So each car is costing you about $8.40 for water.... Hmmm Im sure the fact that the water just sits in the machine when you are NOT using it is causing it to wear faster too...

I wonder how many more washes you can get out of it if you used it a lot more?
