Hello Mastering How-To! Thank you very much for posting this video. I have just ordered the required parts via your links. You have designed a outstanding bypass for the CR Spotless system. Cannot wait to use it!! All the best to you and thanks again:)

Wow! Thanks so much. That is actually awesome!!

Thanks for sharing. Bypass is always a great addition to DI vessels etc. Just one thing, TDS stands for total dissolved solids, not solvents. HTH 👍

Deioniser is not removing iron it removes ions quite a difference

I’m confused/I bought all the parts because it looks way better and less bulky than the obsessed garage Prevost portable solution But my question is u have only one 3 way ball valve on the water in side so when u have it turn off/the water doesn’t go back reverse into the cr spotless?

On the DIC-20 model, does dolly's upright handle interfere with the PEX hose? Thank you.

@MasteringHow-To 4 ай бұрын

I’m not sure. I designed this because I want it to be portable and not have to really use the dolly.

@MasteringHow-To 2 ай бұрын

Of course but it would be silly to mount this on the wall. This unit is meant for portability. It’s a lot to do just to stick it on the wall.

Lol I wall mounted it inside my mobile van setup. Been working great for a month.

The stubby Zurn handles don’t even come close to fitting the 3-way ball valve tee. The opening for the threaded stud is way too small. Besides that it worked out great after I chased down some leaks. Ended up having to use teflon tape and ptfe dope on all the fittings.

Hey I’m so sorry. I used a dremel to cut it a little bit. I forgot to mention that. I used that cone shape dremel bit. It took about 5 minutes. Please wear goggles.

Edit: Just priced all the parts and we are looking at about $215 before buying Pex and crimping tool. So the $75 one on CR Spotless site is not the same price. It's out of stock currently. I know this version is much higher quality, but just saying. Almost three times the cost. I'm looking at doing this with my system, but I'm just wondering, couldn't you contaminate the water in the filter tank with dirty (high TDS) water on the exiting Y valve? Since there isn't a valve to shut it off from going toward the filter tank, I would think some of it would mix. Even if it's just a bit, it could be enough to contaminate. No? The Y valve that has a shut off valve is also actually cheaper right now, so I'm really curious.

@MasteringHow-To 2 ай бұрын

$215? No way. Unless you’re looking at all Parker. I posted the links in the description. Much cheaper than that!

@MasteringHow-To 2 ай бұрын

And nope. I asked the company about that. Once the tank is filled with water… water will not enter back into the tank. I was going to put a t valve there but I got confirmation from company it’s not needed. Good catch on that! I was worried as well.

@@iKone911hey so I put Parker parts on there. I just wanted to let people see what the parts were. Parker is very very expensive. So you use the list I gave as a guide. Don’t buy Parker. It’s too much. I had those already since I have a car wash… a Parker elbow is like $25.00. You can find a 3/4 elbow ok Amazon for a quarter of the price. Sorry if I didn’t clarify that in the video.

How long is the hose?

@MasteringHow-To 6 ай бұрын

The pex is around 14inches long. You can purchase a short piece of pex at your local Home Depot or Lowe’s for under $5-$10.00. Depending which fittings you go with would slightly change the distance between them, which would then change the length of the pex. I would suggest buying a small piece and cutting it to length once you have everything installed.

The whole reason I went through all this trouble is because I don’t want to mount it…. If I was going to mount it I would have not gone through the trouble of building this kit.

@@MasteringHow-To my mistake, I thought you went through all this trouble to add a very nice and sleek bypass valve to extend the life of your cr spotless system.
