water’s hardness) and improves the
efficiency of boat-cleaning chemicals
while helping to reduce overall
water consumption.
The 75800 is constructed
using premium-quality marine-grade components that are
able to withstand the harsh sea
environment and provide years
of service. The 75800 features a
CNC-machined StarBoard polymer
top and base, machined 6463
bright-dip-anodized Schedule 40
aluminum pipe, machined brass
fittings, stainless steel fasteners, and
a glass-wound poly tank filled with
high-capacity ion-exchange resin.
The unit came ready to use and
included a 5-foot connection hose,
a recharge canister, a CleaRinse
5-micron pre-filter cartridge, and
detailed instructions.
CleaRinse 75800 CR2
When using the CleaRinse 75800
for the first time, we connected the
5-foot hose to the pre-filter inlet
and dock spigot and connected our
own 100-foot water hose on the
opposite side. Then, we ran water
NEWS & NOTES
through the unit for a couple of
minutes to charge the large blue
tank. The manufacturer estimates
that it takes 125 gallons to wet
down and rinse a 50-foot boat and
even sells an optional counter (for
$285) that fits on the inlet side of
the unit. The manufacturer also
states that the blue tank needs to be
recharged with water-softening
salts and recommends changing
the 5-micron filter ($16) after two
recharging cycles.
Measuring 28 inches high by
9 inches deep by 16 inches wide,
the unit weighs 45 lb. when
empty and is easily stored in a
large lazarette or dock box. The
CleaRinse 75800 CR2 Wash Down
System from G2 Products retails for
$795. Log on to www.clearinse.com
