That's where I got mine on a 15% off site wide sale

Even though AG sells it, it ships straight from CR Sportless in California. Easy to install and operate. Like others said, I also only use it for rinsing. And I have a Scale Blaster but I could swear that didn't make any difference but just in case it was good, I kept it there instead of returning.
To measure how bad my water was, I spent like $7 for a meter from Amazon.

This thread is going to cost me money.

You can try to call the Culligan man. They have replaceable RO canisters that you can rent and change out when they need to be recharged. I don't know the exact cost but I know we found this to be a relatively low cost alternative for rinse water at my employer.

I actually use it now for everything... bucket water, rinse, and re-rinse.

Just ordered some brass quick disconnects for it.

AG sells several models. I got mine during a 15% off sale and also got free shipping

100% sold on this thing.

Lately I have been using an RV filter to do final rinse.

This is your best option if you want DI water.

What I did, after messing around for a couple of years with a CR Spotless, was to start running a hose from my basement slop sink out through the garage to the driveway to get soft water outside. After doing that for a couple of years, I had a plumber repipe my driveway faucet to the soft water system.

How is that working for you, Ron?

Great, easy solution.
