Washing an airplane, particularly a larger one such as a turboprop or jet, is a time-consuming endeavor that can require a lot of elbow grease. CR Spotless aims to reduce some of that labor by ionizing the water sprayed onto the airplane, eliminating the need for wiping the surfaces dry. The system connects quickly to a standard water spigot. The water flows into the system and through two 20-inch deionizing housings before exiting on the other end through a standard hose. There is also a small meter on the front that shows the water purity. Three zeros mean all is well. If numbers are showing, it is time to change the cartridges.
