My car wash water filtration system

, now that's what I call using some thought and ingenuity!

Thanks for sharing it!

Mine has a few extra features as stated in the quote above. CR Spotless uses a mixed blend of resins while mine has isolated base and acid resins. Due to these resins being ion exchange in the Hydrogen form you can easily recharge the Anions (base resin) by placing them in a strong base solution such as lye and the Cations (acid resin) in a strong acid such as muriatic. Both of these are available in home improvement stores.



That is correct, I'm using two filters to run one cartridge with Anions and the other with Cations. Resins can last a real long time. While the recharged resins will not have the same capacity as virgin resins the difference will be negligible at most. Lets just say you can renew the resin everyday for years before having to replace them, so when regenerating them every few weeks/months they can easily last more than 5 years.

As for the TDS meter this is the one I'm using HM DM 1 Inline Dual TDS Meter Reverse Osmosis Ro Di DM1 | eBay and it works fantastic. I highly recommend it and that's about one of the lowest prices you will find including shipping

Thanks for the explanation, that makes sense. Have you had an opportunity to do some testing yet?

Got a build list? This is impressive.

can you please elaborate on what testing you're referring to?

Sure, how many gpm's can the set up handle, (i.e. enough to run through a pressure washer?) What's the amount of time the resin lasts?

filtered water/0 PPM's can be acidic slightly. got a ph meter too?

Well my karcher gas powered pressure washer g2800fh is DOA so no testing was done as of yet =\
