Had mine few months now and it's already leaving water marks on the cars. Any ideas? It's showing as 0.77ppm on the wee digital guage with the standard water showing as 17ppm. Any ideas? Only used it about 10 times in total since purchase

Sh1t... been using mine through the power washer for rinsing after pre-wash then final rinse.. Resin might not last long at this rate..

it baffles me that it would only last such a short period of time when its only used as a final rinse.
@j16jrf does mine every couple of years. I usually get roughly 2 years from mine. It depends on your water quality to begin. Mine before filtering is 30 or something. Give him a pm and see if he can help you

Mines measuring 17 from the tap and 0.77 when using the filter but still getting alot of spots with the filter :/

Any ideas what could be wrong? It's pretty annoying to be honest.
I really don’t know to be honest. Did hear someone talking about brown spots coming out as if the resin was breaking up, maybe something like that is the issue.
Are the spots all over the car or just parts. Wondering could there just be drips of unfiltered water dripping out from cracks but if all over the car that’s not the case. Maybe worth trying another test meter to be sure it’s right, mine only reads in full numbers so it’s unusual to see 0.77 unless it actually means 77 which certainly will spot. Also you mentioned your unfiltered water was 30 which sounds incredibly low as mine is nearly 200.

Will check again in the morning and report back. The spots are all over the car and I've even spent longer than usual rinsing it down to make sure it's all filtered water only.

10 final rinses is pretty poor I think though? Could it be a fault in the unit itself?

Checked today again and tap water is 170ppm and the water from the di vessel was reading 8ppm. Time for a resin change already? At this rate I will be back to drying towel.
Open it up and give the resin a bit of a shake up. Just changes any channels that have formed in the resin and may lower the reading. Also lower the inlet tap pressure a bit so the water flow is a little slower should help lower the reading too.
Having said all that it should be lasting a lot longer for you too. Would expect 3 months with weekly usage if just a final rinse each time.

Are you still doing refills for these? Can you pm the details if so.

Just buy resin yourself and refill. Sureclean in Omagh sell bags of MB115 resin. The most economic way is buy a 25 litre bag for about £90 and you will get a few fills from that depending on the size of your canister. Also worth buying one of their refilling funnels to make the job a lot easier.
I sure am guys
I only use top quality purolite mb400 resin in my vessels.
