Works great that is all I have been using with it so far. Just as strong as steel braided just much lighter due to the Aramid strainds.

It can be a tight fit you hav ego push down pretty hood and the twist it.

@@CarsWithKeav thank u ima try again

If you see the bloopers at the end I did the same thing when I first hooked it up. 🤣

Later after this video I started getting the surging issues with the Uberflex. I switched to my Kevlar braided hose and have not looked back. There is for sure issues with the 2.0 and the flexible hoses which expand under pressure causing the pressure switch to not act right. The wire braiding helps keep that expansion from happening.

@@CarsWithKeav Could you post a link to the Kevlar braided hose you use? Good to get his issue our there.

@@tc9148 Right now I can only find 35ft and 75ft hoses both are on this listing. 50ft have been sold out for awhile. amzn.to/3RGCsAZ

You’re welcome

I didn’t add any resin I tested with the way it came and weighed the resin and out it back. Just suggested there is much more capacity to be used. You could get the rest of the resin in easily and as long as you got water above the resin then it will go in there may take some time, but the water being in there makes it so much easier. Just make sure to run the water for 5 minutes to get any resin that might have been forced through the filter out so it doesn’t clog nozzles.

@@CarsWithKeav I was thinking the same thing about how would adding more resin to fill up the tank up would affect its' performance. Since your Spotbye DI System testing performed better with a smaller tank & less resin before the PPM numbers started climbing. Which one would you pick between the 2 while ignoring the bypass on the Griots? Do you think the resin that they came with made a difference?

@@enj9400 The difference between the two had a lot to do with me running at 4gpm vs 2.5gpm on the Spotbye. Once the resin breaks down to a certain point you need extra time on the resin to stay at a lower ppm. They both are the exact same type of system so they should not perform any different if at the same flow. Griots possibly could have lower quality resin as well. But no way to know that. I do think if Griots was at 2.5gpm it would have been well beyond the 400 gallon mark before going above 0ppm. If you got good water the Spotbye is a great value. If you want to change refills less often the Griots is the way to go.

@@CarsWithKeav I think the Griots system is the best value (extra capacity + bypass) for my Active 2.0 but I'd still toss an extra bag of that colombian bam bam to fill that tank up 🤣

I’ll be putting in my lab coat soon and coming up with a whole easy to use system to regenerate resin and save us money. Going to take me awhile and many fails I’m sure, but I’ll figure it out. Resin is so expensive to refill all the time when you have hard water.

If it’s coming out of where it swivels then I’m not sure much can be done. Unless it’s a leak internal and it’s coming out of the gun at the swivel. There are a few areas that can be tightened if you remove the plastic coverings. If it’s a threaded area Teflon and leverage to tighten might help.

I’ve taken it apart already and tried teflon tape, still leaks, I’ve read on RUclips someone said blue lock tight. I’ll see how that works if not I’m buying a new gun. Thanks for your input.

@@blandry021 Non problem, if buying a new gun I always suggest the MtM SGS28 a bit more expensive, but built to last has the easiest pull trigger on the market by far.

Hard water sucks and not just the system isn’t cheap the resin to replace and refill gets very expensive as well.

They will have a Marine line as well not sure on when it will be available, but marine equipment has a different surface and there are specific coatings for them. Gtechniq Marine is a very good line of Marine products and coatings.

I got everything at my local Home Depot.

This all depends if you want spotless water or not. If you are not having issues with water spots after washing then it’s not needed. Some of us just want to have all the cool toys whether we need them or not. I’m guilty of that for sure. 🤣

I knew it! I thought it was either Geoffrey the Giraffe from Toys R Us or it was Cleetus McFarland 🤣

Thank You

That is some potent swamp water it even blows up pressure washers. 🤣

Removes (decreases) minerals from water that typically cause water spots.

Exactly

Mineral removal much like distilled water just a different way to use ion exchange resin to pull the minerals out of the water. You can use this water to mix with coolant, use in batteries, wash cars spot free, chemical dilutions, works real well for clear ice too.

The good stuff. 🤣

In my experience it's between 5 and 10 all variables considered. You learn to be conservative once you realize the limited amount of spot free water and obviously dependent on source water. In my area it's off the charts

Depends how frugal you are if you are like me you tend to use way more water than most just rinsing over and over. 🤣 I probably use 20 gallons, but you could do it with 10 gallons if you are efficient. I only use spotless on the final rinse so maybe 5 gallons. The rest I use just the two water.

I wish they would, but to get the power they most likely would have to run two batteries in tandem to get the voltage needed to get that much PSI.

Not really at least to me and with these much bigger machines a heavier duty steel braided hose is preferred and even recommended. Since it is using m22 fittings which is keeping within what they came with stock so the Uberflex to me would be the next step up in upgrades from the crappy stock hoses, but for sure not the final step in the upgrade path. I used one for awhile and after the hype wore off I’m glad I went back to my 3/8 hoses. I really don’t like anything about it anymore except it’s a much better option than most hoses that come with most cheaper pressure washers. Of course thats my opinion of course and others may think different. Many love them and think they are the best. It’s all subjective.

Could be the meter and possibly was that resin given to you 100% regenerated or possibly a bad mix? Do you dial back the flow coming in to match the max for the system? On the Go states their standard mixed bed tank can do 280 gallons at 200 ppm. You could have chlorine issues possibly as well?

​​@@CarsWithKeavThe resin is 100% regenerated. So are you saying that you adjust your flow every time you use your di system? What is the GPM requirement for an ar630?

@@stevel3881 Depends how you are using the Di water having it hooked up to an AR630 does limit the flow to around 2 to 2.2 gpm depending on the nozzle used so you should be good there. I use it through a garden hose and spray nozzle so I have to dial down the flow so the resin has time to clean.

@@CarsWithKeav I use it through my ar630.

@@stevel3881 Then you are good to go.

How many gallons do you get out of one bag of resin?

It is a great system and really all the tank style ones like this are basically the same just different sizes. I think for the size this is one of the best deals out there as the Adam’s one is like $400+ for the same thing.

How many washes do you think you got per tank of resin? Thanks and did you just use it for final rinse?

@@whitegoodman7465 Not too sure how many gallons I got because I didnt measure the output but the resin that was in the tank when I bought it lasted all of last year from April 2023 until this Spring and I washed my truck every single week. I only used the system to do the final rinse

Mine has been working great use it for my wheels on every wash. Anytime you get these types of products from China there will be a greater chance to get a defect. I don’t look at reviews much as some of my favorite products don’t have great reviews. A lot of sellers play around and use an existing listing and out a different product on it then you see the review comments are about a totally different product. 🤣

@@CarsWithKeav Thanks for the response and insight! Looking forward to the next portable foamer review! (I have no idea how you come up with these, but it's much appreciated!)

@@WhatsUpBob just did a video last week on a new electric style one and it’s pretty good. Not on the same level as this one though. I spend one night once a week just searching the depths of Amazon to find new products.

@@CarsWithKeav I saw that one! Whichever one I go with, I'll be sure to use one of your affiliate links! (My RUclips channel has some links occasionally too, (for some of my reviews, how to's and installs) so I know I'm always appreciative when folks take the time to click the link)

@@WhatsUpBob Appreciate that! Those links always help to fund bigger reviews.

Their WashPak-50 system is a great value! With a few coupons you can get it near $350. Not many people talk about them!

That’s a great value as the 1 cubic foot ones from On the Go are like $600 which I’m sure is basically the same. I wonder if Serv-A-pure is even making theirs or if it’s all Clack brand tanks and heads.

Just looking at the listing and size I think this Griots is basically that washpak 50 for $300. If packed full it would be 1/2 cubic foot. Same tank style and head.

@@CarsWithKeav It's all clack branded heads. I asked them this before I purchased it.

Awesome!

Thanks 🙏

Thank You

The tank is Clack as well knowing Griits they went straight to Clack and branded especially at the price they are selling. The Adam’s one for basically the same size is like $500+ as they are paying OTG to build them. Griots might also be using a different resin or even a cheaper regenerated resin to get the price down.

Weighted ball on MJJC you have to drill it out to fit, but they have also changed their design as well. MTM the tube is larger and hard to place. I have. I have not tried to find a solution as I have went away from auto mixing as I use so many chemicals I don’t have abuse for it.

Not repairable. You takes your chances with the quality of the repair. Trying to figure out if it's a good deal or to buy the blower

The bypass head is made by clack. It’s like 3 different parts (the distribution head, the bypass valve, and then the “down spout” pieces), and they’re all readily available to replace if needed vs repairing

The tank is clack as well and depending on what you need rebuilt there should be parts available for sure.

Yes, parts are available for the bypass sections if you break something in the head itself then there are replacement heads at many water filter company websites. Comparison video would be tough as all of tanks out there are mainly made by the same company and they all work the same just different sizes and resin capacities. Such as On-the-go, Adam’s, clean garage and the Griots they are all the same basically.

Bladders works great if you have the room they come in all sizes from 50 gallons to thousands.

Same for me. Either this or using a blower is my choice

Have you tried a carbon filter as a pre filter for the DI?

@@CandanCamgoz no. Does it work?

@DaveFogel It will definitely help get you to 0, it is a bit pricey because you have the carbon filters to think about and replace at different intervals too.

@@CandanCamgoz it's a hassle. You have to use at least weekly and could be contamination in the tank. Blower better deal

We found the first loser. 🤣 JK

I would love one as well only thing I know is to create one using some adapters. Just never got around to figuring that all out as ai only ever measure tds at my DI system and CR spotless has it built in.

This isnt grade school

@@johnnyhernandez2790 😜😜😜another one that arrives late

🤣

I have found the black detergent tips work real well for a final rinse when the pressure washer is turned off and just using the flowing water. I don’t like to run my pressure washer without a tip that gets decent pressure. I don’t know if it will damage it running basically garden hose pressure through a running pressure washer. It just sounds like it overworking. That was the main reason I added the garden hose reel I couldn’t get the final rinse pattern I wanted.

What was your TDS beforehand? Are you referring to the CR spotless or the RV mods modification? If it’s the cr spotless these systems are only as good as the water coming in. If your water is very hard it will deplete these units far sooner than those with soft water such as myself. CR spotless has a built in TdS meter to keep an eye on when the spots can come back and when to order refills. Not saying you may not have had an issue, but DI resin is not something that just stops working due to defect it’s all based on the water quality. I could get 100 washes and a 1000 gallons and somebody else could get 10 washes and 100 gallons. The resin does the same amount of work either way, but hard water makes it work harder and it loses it ability to clean sooner. Also you must regulate the flow coming in to not exceed 2.5 GPM or it will deplete sooner.

Not sure what happened to yours did you reach out about warranty this is the first gun I have heard have problems. My Active gun is still working quite well use it a good bit, but prefer the SGS28 still it is just been my workhorse for years. I know many who use the Active gun everyday in their mobile detailing setup. Not sure about any sales pitch I do honest reviews if you don't believe it thats cool. I just show everything about the product compare it to something I know. Several times in the video I show things I don't like about it. I would never buy Mosmatic the SGS28 gun to me is the better choice even Matt from OG wanted that to be his exclusive product as he had a hand in the design.

@@CarsWithKeav I’m not saying your videos are not cool,like you I say what I think if you take it bad well that’s freedom of speech bother,the gun has the trigger stuck and it doesn’t come back so I have to dissemble and see what’s going on and that is not a 40 dollars Amazon gun man but well I think maybe you are right outta all the active pressure washing guns has ever produced mine is the only want defective….🤔🤔🤔💭💭

@@manrex5238 Absolutely brother you say what you want you have that right. I'm not saying its the only one to have an issue with as many out there there has to be some defects no manufacturer is perfect. It is just the first I have heard of. I think it is that ball bearing and spring that I took out in the video. I didn't like the feel and it takes complication of it. Simple is usually always better which is why I love the SGS28. Hope you are able to resolve it as when it is working its a pretty good gun.

@@CarsWithKeav yep that’s what I’m gonna do thanks to your video I’ll take those pieces out, thanks man

Agreed I see no reason for a Kranzle unless you are using it all day. Active is working on rebuild kits for the 2.0 as well. They should have more info on that soon as well.

Agreed, it’s great for though ups. I for sure wouldn’t be using this for a full detail on a dirty car. Which some seem to think it should work for when it’s only the size of a flashlight. 🤣

Yeah and it’s gives a great pattern as well at low GPM.

I reviewed it after this video as I don’t categorize it as mid tier due to the price not being between $400 and $800.

This one they have been great for about 6 months so far. amzn.to/3KWnNO9

@@CarsWithKeav awesome thanks for the reply sir Keav👍

Just got to make sure the surface it’s thoroughly clean before applying any type of protectant.
