AquaHouse DI Car Wash water filter, Pure water for Spot Free Rinse Car Valeting & Window Cleaning

Product Information

Every week I wash our daily drives, our CLK and my old Range Rover, using the water filter, which saves me a good half hour each week.

If you look into what is in some of the favoured cleaning products used on here (Daisy etc) I think that you'll find that they contain salt, just like Fairy Liquid does.Minerals such as calcium and magnesium present in the water supply can have a negative impact on costs and quality of the service provided. The new hose bib was for washing cars and the existing hose bib, which was just after the meter, remained untreated and used for irrigation.

By avoiding silt and scale buildup, demineralizing the water through reverse osmosis or water softening minimizes maintenance work and downtime while also extending equipment life. Its defeating the object of using pure water to leave to evaporate, which saves the time and marring from physical drying.You can absolutely wash your car with soft water, but that’s not necessarily better than washing your car with hard water.

Hard water has the highest surface tension of the three water types, and as a result, allows for the easiest removal. A water softener alters the make up of the dissolved minerals in the water whereas a water filter actually removes them to produce pure water with no dissolved mineral content. Even though I had read all the great reviews I was still sceptical especially as we are in a very hard water area in rural Essex. When we installed a softener in the old house, we installed a new hose bib from just after the softener as part of the install. I feel its only fair to give this product a well deserved favourable review and I would recommend it to anyone.I'm not really after advice on how to install it etc, main thing I want to know is if its a good thing to wash and rinse a car using softened water or if regular unsoftened water is better. Irrespective of the additional benefit of no marring, not having to worry about drying and consequent water marks is well worth it. I use a hose from the mixer tap in the utility room to wash the vehicles using warm softened water, and then have RO water to add to things like Last Touch and IPA.

I'm useless with a chamois and this not only means I don't have to struggle with one, it puts a lovely shine on the car. The use of mixed resin bed water filters to remove all of the dissolved impurities has long been established in industries such as Pharmaceuticals, electronics and metal surface treatment.Reverse osmosis reduces the TDS of water by about 95% and does assure a spot-free rinse with most waters… that’s something to think about if you're a hard-core car washer.
