Stop Driving to the Car Wash. Bring It Home.
Tired of driving 20 minutes just to wait in line at the car wash? There's a smarter way. The GlacierFresh® Portable Pure Water Car Wash System brings the car wash to your driveway — no trip, no wait, no wasted afternoon. Pure filtered water means your car air-dries spot-free every time, so you're not burning through microfiber towels either. One system, long-lasting filters, and way cheaper than a monthly car wash membership. For folks out in the suburbs, this thing pays for itself fast.
One System, Two Ways to Use It
Some days you want it fixed to the wall, ready to go. Other days you need to roll it around the driveway. GlacierFresh® does both — no hassle, no extra gear. Just hook up your hose, let the pure water do the work, and walk away with a streak-free car.
Rolls Anywhere. Locks in Place When You Need It.
The GlacierFresh® heavy-duty reinforced metal frame is built to last — no flimsy plastic, no wobbling around. Roll it across your driveway with ease, then lock the wheels the moment you're ready to wash. One push to brake, one push to release. Whether you're parked in the garage or out in the driveway, this system stays exactly where you put it.
Choose your preferred washing method—foam wash or pure rinse.
GlacierFresh® gives you full control over every wash. Switch to tap water mode to foam up and scrub away dirt and grime, then flip the valve to filtered pure water mode for a clean, spot-free rinse that air-dries without a trace. Two modes, one system.
Know Exactly What You're Getting
With the GlacierFresh® RV06, your filter goes further than you'd think. In areas with lower water TDS (around 150 ppm), one filter handles up to 100 washes for a sedan or 50 for a full-size SUV. That works out to pennies per wash — a fraction of what you'd spend at the car wash. The harder your local water, the more you'll use, but you'll always know what to expect. No surprise costs, no hidden fees. Just clean, filtered water that actually pays for itself.
All can be easy washed and keep clean
Why pay separately for a car wash, a boat detailer, and a pressure washing service? The GlacierFresh® RV06 handles them all. Roll it to your driveway for the SUV, down to the dock for the boat, or around back to clean the patio — pure filtered water, spot-free results, every time. One smart investment that replaces a whole list of services you've been paying for. Hook it up in minutes and get to work.

FAQs
No. The RV06 is a resin water softener designed specifically for vehicle washing. It is not intended for treating drinking water, and the output water must not be consumed.
It uses the standard US 3/4" garden hose quick-connect fitting. You can plug and unplug it by hand—no tools like wrenches are needed. It makes hooking up to your home garden hose fast and easy, and disconnecting is just as simple.
Yes—it works like this: the deionized rinse removes dissolved minerals from the water before it even reaches your car. Since no minerals crystallize as the water evaporates, you get a truly water-stain-free finish without the need for wiping. This is the same principle used by professional car detailers, only now integrated into a portable system in your home.
You can use plain tap water for pre-rinsing and foam application, and only switch to soft water during the final rinse. This saves resin life by not using soft water for the entire wash process, and also eliminates the hassle of repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting hoses.
It works best on level, hard surfaces like garages or concrete driveways. Uneven or pitted ground can affect the unit's stability, so try to place it on a firm, flat surface whenever possible. The base also has brake casters to keep it securely in place on various surfaces.
The recommended operating pressure range is 0.1–0.4 MPa. At 0.2 MPa inlet pressure, the unit delivers a flow rate of 10 L/min. If the pressure drops further, the flow rate will decrease accordingly. The optimal working pressure is 0.2–0.3 MPa.
No. The RV06 filter is a single-use, disposable cartridge that does not support regeneration. Once it reaches saturation, you simply replace the entire filter cartridge.
Filter cartridge lifespan depends on the TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) content of the water in your area. In areas with moderate water hardness (around 150 ppm), one cartridge can last up to 100 car washes for a sedan or 50 washes for a large SUV. This means the cost per wash is well under $1—far less than a car wash membership fee.
You only need a regular garden hose. Connect it to the system's inlet to get started. No pressure washer, special accessories, or complicated setup required. Most people can install and start using it within 10 minutes.
A pressure washer can clean, but it doesn't filter. Without deionized water, water stains will still remain after each rinse—especially with hard water. GlacierFresh® can be used with your pressure washer: use it on the final rinse with pure water, and you'll never have to wipe your car down again.
After multiple uses, if you notice white spots slowly appearing on your car, it means the resin is worn out and the filter needs to be replaced.
Absolutely. The RV06 is suitable for boats, motorcycles, RVs, house windows, and outdoor furniture—anywhere hard water stains are likely to form. You can push it anywhere you need it or mount it on a wall as a permanent outdoor fixture.
