This looks like an awesome solution. The only observation and questions……. You are using color changing media. Do they make filter housings that are clear instead of solid blue? How would you monitor the color change with a solid filter housing? Obviously a clear housing would make it very easy to know when a recharge was necessary. Thanks for sharing your well thought out design and great demonstration video 👍👍👍👍👍

Some vendors might offer clear housing but i think UV might skew the resin the easiest way to test is with a TDS meter once you see TDS get high it indicates time to replace resin

@@autofanaticcars Thank you so much for the quick reply. I would hope in a garage that UV light would not be a factor. Certainly the TDS is a good way to tell. That pretty much throws out the color changing media which defeats the purpose of it. There may be a less expensive option and I will investigate it. I will share back anything I find as your goal was to cut down on the cost of the system. It is still way less than anything I have seen and the TDS is a great way to keep watch on the efficiency. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just so you know most places these days are changing over to chloramines in the water instead of just chlorine. A regular carbon block will not remove that. It will pull the chlorine out but the ammonia left over will pass right by into the resin and it will burn up the resin much faster. So anyone looking into this you need to find out what your water company is using chlorine or chloramines for the disinfectant.

@brthiebauth

I would imagine anyone concerned about the amount of resin they go through could put the filtration on a cart or mounting system to their pressure washer to minimize the amount of treated water that ends up in a long hose between the system and pressure washer, thus likely wasted. My water is over 350ppm (common well water) so, that is a consideration for me. Any economical pre-filtering would be critical as usually, the resin is the expensive part of consuming a large quantity of water. Dealing with water this hard isn't a lot of fun! Thanks for the video and information!

I’m retired, so I have plenty of time. Takes me less than ten minutes per wheel to carefully clean & dry complex Mustang PP1 black painted wheels. Leaf blower disperses almost all the water to help dry the wheels. I’ll have to give consideration to installing an up graded filtering system. Thanks & Happy Motoring 🤠

I use North Star on demand electric pressure washers look into them at Northerntool.com mine is s 230V but they also offer 115v version. these machines are workhorse you can not kill them plus they double duty to do real tasks around the house.

Using that turbo nozzle is not the right way to do this... there is a stream of water that spins at high rpms and so you're directing a single stream of water on your powdercoated wheels. It's just a matter of time before it begins to damage that paint. It's like using a zero degree nozzle but with that single stream that spins. What you should use is a 25 degree with a variable handle so that you have control of your spray. similiar to the spray pattern you used for your paint job.

@@autofanaticcars Thanks. I just pieced together a single 10x4.5 unit with the DI resin. Disappointingly, I'm going from about 130 TDS from the spigot to 30 TDS after the resin. I added a RV inline pre-filter to see if it might knock it down a bit, but still ending up at around 20 to 25. I tried turning down the flow to see if I had too much incoming pressure, but no change. I don't think I'm that high to start, to only get down to 30. Just to confirm, if I measure from a jug of distilled water in the same container I get the expected 0 TDS (so it's not the measurement meter or container used). Would adding a second DI help? If I should be getting to 0 with my setup, I'm not sure what might be wrong other than the rubber o-ring / washer at the top of the cartridge not sealing well.

​@@johnsortinoI'm having the same issue. I have a whole house carbon filter, then run through my water softener - average about 210 TDS - my double 4.5 x 10 resin filters only lower the TDS by about 70-75 TDS - resulting in a post resin TDS of around 140. SOMETHING isn't right....

I copied this system with the 2 iSpring housing units with 2 GE Whole house w/ carbon filters as pre-treatment. My TDS before the system was 107 ppm and after was 1 ppm. I let the water run for a good ten minutes and washed my car afterwards. I estimate that I used a good 50 gallons of water. My TDS was 7 ppm after the wash. Is this pretty normal to expect the ppm to raise that quickly or do you think 2 housing units is not enough for me and that I should consider adding a 3rd iSpring filter. Thanks

Seems you have a massive improvement so far just monitor things over time tds can jump around some over time but if you stay under 20 you should be ok but play around with filter arrangements im Using 1 carbon 1 DI resin with 6 months of yield

It's at 0 ppm now that the system has had time to settle in with a couple uses. I saw a post here about someone talking about chloramine. Have you found a solution for that? My city moved away from chlorine and swapped to chloramine

they are using chloramine in our water was well very toxic stuff and more concern inside the house than for washing your cars. I have a multi stage main house filter and it requires changing almost every 2 months now which is getting expensive.

@@autofanaticcars CR Spotless-DIW-20 and max water. Both with a water softener and a carbon pre filter. About the only thing I can get to work is a 7 stage RO system but that’s for drinking water not conducive to clean a car with. I just about given up. Clean my car almost at night when is cool and dry fast but it doesn’t work.

if the Camco works for you and you get improvements in water spotting, flash rust and better soap stick with it but the system shown here is much more effective considering the flow rates of my water feed at 7GPM.

mineral spirits on a new microfiber is all i use, no rubber cleaner and brushes takes too long and not as effective plus you need to wait for tires to dry where as mineral spirits evaporates instantly to apply tire dressings
