DI - Deionization For Spot Free Coach & car Wash

I've been looking for an electric to replace my 25 year old gas pressure washer. The problem I'm running into is I have a couple nice wands, extension pole, better quality hoses, all of these use the quick connects. All of the electric washers I've found use the screw on connections.
Could you tell me if the high pressure screw on connector on the pump can be removed and replaced with a quick connect type?
I'd rather use my commercial quality hoses, etc. than the ones that come with the electric ones.
Thanks!

I added 3/8" quick connects on my AR Blue Clean.  They accept a standard threaded M22 x 14mm or M22 x 15mm depending on the model.  I believe the consumer models use the 15mm and the pro models use the 14mm.

Funny I was at Gordons shop (best gen man) and he had a 2 wheel cart that had a bottle on it and hoses and I asked what it was and it was a deionizer he had built when I get home I think that will be my next project, don't think I have room for a portable one as we downsized big time.

Besides the dudes at Obsessed Garage who, btw, are OBSESSED beyond belief! I think they said they've tested over 1200 pressure washers over the years...YIKES!

That said, they are the "go to" for me when I want a deep dive into the PW game.

For budget, they suggest the Active as well as even the Karcher...in terms of electrics.

At $350, the Active (sorry for your crapper, Simon), is a hard to beat price if you don't mind a "throw-away instead of repair" concept.

Same holds true with anything under the $400 mark.

Simon took a leg-up, though, because the Kranzle IS considered the "euro Ferrari" if you desire to drop the $1200.

I went with the Active for 2 big...uh, small...reasons: size and price. For testing and recommending to my millions...ok ok thousands...of followers, I thought it was an easy pill to swallow. I also wanted something that would fit right into my standard flip-top storage box that is THE PERFECT way for me to tuck my washing gear into my bay. When I get home, I just take the Active out and leave all the rest behind since I have duplicate hoses, wands, and cannons.

With my system of quick-connects, I can hook everything up, running it through my 3-stage, Softener, and DI Tank within a minute.

If I was to install it at home, I'd pop for the Kranzle for sure! (Simon, better keep your's hidden!  Tongue )

I have yet to open the box for the Kranzle which is sitting in a storage facility along with the unused softeners and DI I have from Steve! I'll get to it once this house is done. Haven't breathed in enough Urethane house paints. That said, I am flying out to Mesa AZ tomorrow to bring my beloved bus back to an enclosed storage facility in Ozark. I too believe Obsessed garage is a great source of info.
