It's the same technology and appears to be the same size and price (on Amazon) as the smallest version of the CR Spotless unit. There's nothing really complicated about these things, since they're just canisters filled with resin.

I have the twin tank 'CR' and it does work well .. however ... I initially used it for the first rinse and then wash and then final rinse, and you really need to thoroughly rinse at the end or you get streaks.
Anyway, the resin does not last very long, so now I do initial rinse and wash it with regular water (I use a fitting off my water softener) and save the CR water for the final rinse so the resin lasts longer.
Our water is very hard, so the 'softened' water helps, yet the CR leaves a totally spotless finish, without drying.

I'm on a well and also have a very expensive dual tank softener connected to the whole house, irrigation system, and hose bibs, but I still get water spots. Softened water is not necessarily deionized, which supposedly these systems do.

I agree, the principle is the same, just mixed resin in a can. OTG is from middle America, CR from the left coast. OTG does not pretend to measure TDS in the flow stream, they provide a separate meter to stick in a glass of water. In any event, while soft water is less of a spot problem, deionized water is better. Even when the Mr. Clean was available, it was recommended to use the filtered path for only the final rinse.

Fair enough. The goal would then be to extend the time between every wash by rinsing ( without a towel, just the water).
