Deionized Spot-Free Car Rinse 2x10
Installation, Operation & Maintenance Guide Model# 540565
Thank you for
purchasing an
Aquatic Life
Deionized Spot-Free
Car Rinse Unit.
When maintained
properly, this unit
will provide you with
years of high-quality
filtered water.
OVERVIEW
Water quality is oen measured by the amount
of total dissolved solids (TDS) in the water.
It is the TDS in the water that leaves spots
on a vehicle when the water evaporates. By
removing the TDS, a spot-free rinse is achieved.
Removing TDS is accomplished by filtering
the water through a resin that is charged with
Cation and Anion resins (H+ and OH-). As the
resin absorbs the TDS, it will change color.
When the entire resin has changed color,
it is time to replace the DI cartridge.
The spot-free rinse is what is important
to ensure spots do not form on the vehicle.
DO NOT use the spot-free rinse for steps 1-3.
OPERATING GUIDELINES
The maximum incoming water pressure for
the unit is 80 PSI. If the pressure is more than
80 PSI, a pressure regulator is required.
Deionized water should not be run through
a copper tube. The pure DI water can leach
copper from the pipe, eventually leading to
holes in the pipe.
DO NOT pressurize and operate the
unit unattended.
HOW TO USE
Failure to follow these
steps will deplete your
cartridges quickly and
cost you extra money.
Follow these simple
steps for best results:

MOUNTING THE UNIT
Mount to a secure surface so the cartridges can
be easily replaced as needed.
Use screws designed for the type of surface
that the DI unit will hang on. Leave the screws
extending about 1/8" from the surface then
hang the metal bracket on the screws.
INSTALL THE ADAPTERS
Step 2 – Insert a ½" rubber washer into the side
labeled
SUPPLY then thread the FEMALE hose
fitting into that side.
Step 1 – Apply three wraps of the pipe tape to
each of the ½" MPT fittings.
Step 3 – Insert a ½" rubber washer into the side
labeled
FILTERED then thread the MALE hose
fitting into that side.
Step 4 – Tighten both brass fittings with a
wrench.
Do not over-tighten.
INSTALLING THE CARTRIDGES
Remove the resin cartridges from the wrappers
and center them in the clear canisters.
Hand-tighten the canisters to canister heads
and use the canister wrench to tighten
approximately another 1/4 turn.
HOSE INSTALLATION
Use a hose with standard garden hose threads
to connect the
SUPPLY side of the deionization
unit to a water supply.
Use a second hose to connect to the
FILTERED
side of the deionization unit. For this connection,
a smaller diameter hose is recommended to
reduce the amount of filtered water sitting in
the hose. This is the hose to use for rinsing your
vehicle (hose not included).
UNIT STORAGE
Between use, it is important for the resin to
remain wet. Ideal storage would be leaving
the water hoses attached and canisters filled
with water. If you remove the water hoses from
the ends of the Spot Free Rinse, ensure that
the water in the canisters is not allowed to
evaporate.
Avoid storing in an area that could freeze
or temperatures could raise above 100°F.
Never store the unit in direct sunlight.
UNIT MAINTENANCE
The deionization cartridges are designed
to change color when the resin inside is
exhausted. When the entire cartridge has
changed color, it is time to replace.

WARNING: DO NOT mount
the unit outside or in a direct
sunlight area. This will aect the
performance of the unit.
IMPORTANT: For best results,
use the included adjustable
rinsing nozzle. This nozzle
provides the proper final misting
for the optimal spot free rinse.
NOTE: When changing the exhausted
cartridge, move the second cartridge
to the first position & install the new
cartridge in the second position. This
will maximize the use of the resin.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Q. Water is leaking?
A. The most common point of water leak
is where the clear canisters screw onto the
heads. Each canister includes an O-ring. It
is important the O-ring is seated properly to
prevent leaks. Do not over-tighten the
canisters as this will not fix a leaking seal.
Q. Why does my DI Cartridge not last as long
as the next guy?
A. The resin in DI cartridges remove a set
amount of TDS from water. The higher the
TDS going into the DI cartridge, the quicker
the resin will be depleted. For example, if
the water going into your DI cartridge is
100 TDS and your neighbor has water with
200 TDS, your DI cartridge will last two
times longer than your neighbors.
