Smart Reef 10" Nuclear Grade DI Replacement Cartridge

I own a black car and live in a house that has extremely hard water. Washing the car had become a time consuming process of re-wetting and wiping with multiple towels in order to avoid water spotting. The whole production had me dreading the washing process and I was washing the car very infrequently because of it.I decided it was time to research water filtering options. I discovered that I could purchase the same de-ionizing resin used in very expensive filters used by professional car detailers, but buy it in cartridges that fit common sized house water filter housings. I happened to have a spare set of 10" housings that were previously used for filtering tap water. Since I still had a high quality sediment filter for the first housing, I decided to shop for a DI cartridge and try out a home made spot free rinse filter system. With just a couple of extra fittings and a short water hose, I was able to connect the filter housings to a faucet. That allowed me to wash with the unfiltered water, then quickly connect the filter at the faucet end. When I received the filter it dropped right into the second housing and I was ready to try it out.On a hot summer day, I washed the car and made sure to keep it wet the whole time. That took about 30 minutes. Then I simply connected the filter at the faucet, gave the car a final, low pressure rinse and walked away. I returned later that day to find a completely spot free vehicle. This filter is a fantastic tool and a real time saver. The time and effort I save drying the car makes this filter completely worth the investment and because it can be refilled I will only have to buy more resin when the cartridge gets used up. I highly recommend this filter cartridge to anyone who washes their car at home.

I put this cartridge in a filter housing fitted with garden hose adapters (I used a clear housing so I can see the reported color change as it loses efficiency) and put it in-line with my power washer so I can rinse rinse the car with DI water after washing it. It works great to eliminate the water spots I previously got with my softened well water.

I keep buying these for my r.o. system because to me it seems to contain the best resin on the market and I tried many to keep my tds meter reading 0. It also color changes on point. A lot of other resins will color change to early or not much at all. Will continue to get these cartridges for my r.o. system.

fits snug. started turning brown then white after just a week of use...I thought it would last at least 3 months

Measured TDS was 250 PPM running through a particulate Pre Filter dropped to 223 PPM running through this filter measured a TDS of 15PPM.Color change was dramatically fast. but it performed pretty well IMHO.

Make sure to clean the threads on the cap off then tighten firmly. Works like a champ.

My well water used it up very fast less then 100 gallons of ro generaly get 4 to 500 gallons pbb fine for ppl with city water www.humblekoi.com

The product is exactly as described! Awsome shipping speed, great product and very easy to install. The resin was all intact and not spoiled, and it is pumping water just perfect for my reef tank! 0 TDS across the board!!! Will order again as soon as i need!
