If you collected a water sample from the DIC20 output fitting, that would be unrestricted having a 1” input line with a spigot cranked fully open. You could restrict the flow by opening the spigot a quarter turn but hooking up a pw on the output side is a sufficient restrictor regardless of...

I found it when I had the car jacked up to decontaminate the sidewalls prior to applying BlackOut (easier to do if you can spin the wheel). While grabbing the wheel to spin it, I could feel the slight wobble that would create about 1mm of space btwn the rotor and pads. It really just felt like...

Do you turn on the water with a hose connected to the output side of the DI unit? If there's no flow restrictor on the end of the hose (fan spray nozzle, low flow rate pw), then the flow rate will be too high. And with a water softener, it won't reduce the TDS of the water...it just exchanges...

While performing a tire dressing decontamination/application of CarPro BlackOut, I discovered a slight wobble to the LR wheel. A quick search for this blue oval newbie showed me that the FoMoCo reliability of the bearing hub is wanting...the mean time between failure being somewhere between 1k...

Replaced the LR bearing hub @ 19.8k miles. Top portion of the hub in the photos was 6 o'clock portion where the bearing shavings accumulated and rusted...but, thankfully, she just popped right out. Tossing some lessons learned in the Suspension/Brakes/Chassis forum as the CJ Pony Parts video was...

Locked my GDMF’n key in my trunk! Was in my gym bag. ‘Auto detect’ failed. Let me close it. Wouldn’t open. Nor would the doors. That is, until the Mrs brought my second key. A reminder. Life is tough. It’s tougher when you’re stupid!

Just sat in it…

Got my latest shipment of car crack in the mail and gave Reset a go for my first wash after laying down the ceramic and an application of Reset. First Impression: If you ever broke your Mom's thermometer as a kid and played with the mercury on the kitchen table, then you know how the water...

OK DFB5.0, jumped on the last car of the nano-coat train and thought I'd see how Blackout would look after I sliced and diced those pesky nibs. I took your advice about the tires needing to absolutely clean and now I can see why some folks don't have great results with the product. I used CP...

That could very well be the culprit depending on how you're capturing the output. If you're doing so at the end of a hose with a 1" input, that'd certainly be the prime suspect. CRS used to provide a flow restrictor plate (basically a circular washer but only had a 1/8" hole in it to ensure a...

FWIW- the grabber blue went to a new owner yesterday. Now I don’t have to hide the kitchen knives from my wife and sleep with one eye open…

Bingo. Head of the nail has been hit and the most concerning element is when ‘they’ make fiction fact and lies become truth…mk1/mod1 Totalitarian playbook tactic. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming and burnout videos!

I’ve done a lot of over the phone troubleshooting to solve riddles like this and one of the questions I asked was to let the system output dry on a flat piece of glass. If there are no ‘leftovers’ (i.e. spots), the total dissolved solid content was zero. If there are, the system is not producing...

This satire about sums up the collective IQ (not individual, but collective…) of those who have to paint the underside of their nails to feign a day of hard work and who believe ‘Dirty Jobs’ is a story about life on another planet (or they believe the characters were too stupid to go to...

What I can personally attest to is an FA-18 in max afterburner drinks 1,200 lbs of jet fuel every minute…you can run one out of gas in 12 min…kind of like the 5.2. Felt like I was getting away with doing burnouts and not paying for the tires every time I lit up the cans. That’s a no-shitter...

Damn. A sucker for grabber blue. That's a great price starting point...prob a good thing for me there's only one photo... Though quick question for the Predator owners. Said blue grabber just got an oil change and Valve cover(s) replaced Engine timing/front cover replaced Didn't know this was...

Such a laughable ambition given that, in Calif, it would have required the addition of 20 nuke plants btwn now and 2030 to accommodate the demand (funny that I've only seen one EE speak publicly on the subject...everybody else just can't seem to understand that just b/c they bought an EV doesn't...

Hmmmm....I'd be curious what you're testing the water with that shows 100-300ppm TDS. Couple thoughts that I haven't thought about in quite a while: -Our water in San Diego varies from 400-800ppm TDS. Winter water comes from the LA Water District at lower TDS levels and in the summer we get it...

Thanks KB! Labors of love as they say. The Simple Chuck brand is now wholly owned by CR Spotless so both machines come out of the same place. Your DIC-20 should be giving you 0 TDS water unless the resin is shot or you have blow-by at one of the seals. Be careful with resin nearing life-end...

Nib mission complete. Flush dykes got ‘er done.
