I am wondering if anyone uses a deionized water system for car washing for spot and if so which one. I know about the CR spotless one and the Simple Chuck. Has anyone made a home made one that works good I have seen a few DIY ones online and they do not look too hard to make its just getting the right filters and fill it looks like. I have hard water and my Black car gets spots like you would not believe even if I dry it quick.

Thanks

I built my own from Amazon, I use a 2 cartridge system, one for sediment cartridge and one with a DI cartridge. I purchased brass connectors from home depot and put quick connects on along with a feeder hose from my tap. I've used it 2 or 3 times already! No spots, a small drop in water pressure but nothing major. I wash and rinse the whole car, then follow with the cartridge setup.

The feeder hose goes to my wall faucet, other quick connect goes to hose.

That's correct, the black is color changing resin so that is why I went with clear canisters. The DI was a 3 pack so I should be set for a while.

You should be good! I use the "rain" setting on my nozzle, i've not tried any of the other settings, just my preference for 99% of my car washing so I don't know if it would outflow the setup. Just need to shed the water off the car.
