Well I have did about 20 rinses (hard water) with the CR Spotless (DIC-20)I picked up from AG awhile ago and today I had hard water spots.Looks like it's time to change out the resin.
The question I had was,do you just empty the old resin and refill with the new resin?
CR Spotless Replacement Resin, deionization resin, di system resin (http://www.autogeek.net/cr-spotless-replacement-resin-300.html)

I don't have the CR spotless but all I do with my DI system is empty it, rinse it out and refill it.

I shouldn't even reply to this because I absolutely don't have or know a thing about these. The reason I am is I thought the resin was pretty expensive. Just seems like you should get more than 20 rinses if the cost is what I've heard.

It is expensive. But it's worth it.

But there is something you can do to improve the life.
Use a "pre filter" I have a filter that is about a quarter the size of the big CR tubes. And I hook it up before the CR filters. I change the resin media in it every third to fifth rinse (I don't use the CR filtered water for the wash, just the final rinse"

And I am still looking for an industrial source for the resin media. But I may have to buy a 55 gallon cardboard drum to get it any cheaper. And that's just ridiculous, even for me (the biggest cheapskate on here).

Use DoDo juice supernatural shampoo or add ONR to any other wash or use ONR full strength alone, and water spots will be a thing of the past. Another trick when washing is to wash the entire car before rinsing anything off.
