it is a sad excuse for a deionized water system. it will work but it's not great. it's also really inefficient and costly after a while. the filters are ~5 dollars each and do not last 10 washes for sure. if you miss a spot too.... it's hard to tell after the rinse and you'd have water spots in that area....

not worth 25+ imo

I tried it but I didn't like it.

CR Spotless makes what appears to be a good system for around $400. Costco sells it. If I didn't have silica in my water, I'd buy it. I'm going to try to find a filter for the silica.

I found them about 3 years ago for like $10 for the kit somehow at a grocery store, not sure why they had them...

I bought 4-5 of them and yea i was not impressed... 3-4 washes and you need new filters...
