Hey,

Anyone got any experience with building a deionizing filter to rinse the car after a wash to not leave any spots?

I found these resin filters(https://www.nzfilterwarehouse.com/category/62017), but it says you need some pressure regulation/pre-filtering in front of them. Idea is to have it connected to outside tap, maybe pass through two of them, then out to hose.

Any advice or information appreciated.

was more just to show you how it was setup, they have a pre-filter before the media.

Yeah very good info...looking at the parts on above mentioned site, assuming I would need two resin filters(replacing the big one on the retail solution), only comes out a little bit cheaper, but is then wall mounted. It might be worthwhile to keep it portable for outside window washing though, so the $599 not a bad option tbf.

A much cheaper option is just to wipe the excess water off with a chamois afterwards for no water spots 🤷‍♂️

its not that simple though. chamois still leave tiny water drops as do other types of cloths. which lead to water spots due to the dissolved minerals.
