I thought I would do a quick wash session today and finally get a chance to use my new Foam Cannon(MTM) after correlating with swanicyouth on using the correct adaptors with my Karcher Pressure Washer.
Thank You swanicyouth :xyxthumbs:

With these two units:

After a quick rinse with the CR Spotless and a dry off with the MasterBlaster (In the Sun),I was left with NO water spots:

Dude, you got it! Great foam. It's kind of fun, huh? I see the Mystique behind it, I didn't have good results with that soap in the cannon. But, it looks like your getting awesome foam from CG soaps, I'm using them also.
.. Lemme ask you.

1. The CR spotless resin can be recharged right? You keep having to buy new resin? About how long does the resin last.

2. Every once in a while I see a lower priced CR somewhere that's one blue housing only on a tripod looking thing. On there website its not listed, just the dual housing models. Is this a discontinued model??? Because, it's a little cheaper.

Yes it can be recharged.I only use mine as a rinse and I get about 1/2 of a summer out of it.But I have very hard water 20-30 washes

I purchased mine (DIC-20)from AG and it was a bit pricey around $400 but I did look around at the time and for the whole set-up,prices were all similar:
CR Spotless Rolling De-ionized Water Filtration System, deionization system, water de-ionizer, purified water systems, cr-spotless, spot free rinse, (http://www.autogeek.net/cr-spotless-rolling-system-300.html)

when the meter hits 20ppm it's the time to change either the resin or the cartridge. u choice . it cheaper to just replace the resin use the cartridge over and over . I have the single 20" canister and it works perfect for my personal use. picked up from sams club . I believe it said good for 200 gallons if u incoming water has a tds level around 200 ppm . I got myself a tds meter just to see what my tap water is and got about 112 here in central Wisconsin . that's fairly soft water , so should net more than 200 gallons through the cr spotless . I also sometimes truck in ro water which only has a tds level of 3-4 Ppm so resin would last even longer . I don't even know if it pays to run ro water through the cr . i only use the cr water for rinse only and the ro for everything . be lucky if I use 5-10 gallons for my final rinse through a electric pw . if using a pw and depending on what cr spotless system u have it has like a restriction of gpm output to ensure u water is spotless . I believe the single I have is 2gpm which is ok for most general duty electric pw . if goin to a gas pw u need to restrict the output gpm then cause most gas pw are 2.0 gpm + . yes the single only comes on a stand not a wheeled cart . I mounted mine on a poly movers Dollie along with my sure flow water pump as I use a portable tank setup. installed quick connects so I can bypass the cr from the tank real easy . I think the single cr was like 250 and replacement resin was 45 . I would just check u water supply tds level readings and see what u get so u may know how fast u may burn through the resin . u can get a tds meter of amazon for like 15 . hope that gave u some info . I'm glad I got a cr spotless .
