Default Water purifier system

Here on Long Island the water can be hard and with crap in it that leaves water marks. Instead of spending 300-400 on a system, I made one myself for about 60.00

I took two canister water purifiers for a home, put them together with fittings, attached the inlet hose and outlet hose, and there you have it, a system that no longer leaves water marks.

To change the filter, unscrew the canister, replace the filter, about 20.00 max, and away you go.

Simple, inexpensive and it works well.

Im dubious as to the ability of that set up to leave no spot when the water evaporates. Im hoping OP says it does.

I just bought the 8 HP Metro Air Force Master Blaster. It was expensive but makes water spots a non-issue, at least where I live. Drying is not faster, at least for me, because I am thoroughly blasting all of the crevices as well as the windshield and backlight surrounds to reduce corrosion.

Just an amazing device. My drying towels will now last forever.

Not in the slightest; the air is filtered. Rave reviews overall from lots of owners.

I will take a pic of my exact setup when I can. Think about it, a home water purifier has to have more stringent govt on lookers than a car water purifier would. I took two canister type home filters you can buy at HD or Lowes, tied them together with plastic 3/4 inch lawn sprinkler couplers, put hose in and out; and that was it. I have clean filtered water leaving no spots after washing. To dry off the car, I have a commercial grade backpack leaf blower that I COMPLETELY dry the car with in no time. Then I can clay and or wax the cars. I do this to my truck and my wifes car too. My truck and wifes car is black, and that shows everything, yet no issues. The best part of this is, the whole thing is way under 100 bucks.

The cr spotless is the basic system I have, only it cost me $60-$70 to make it myself.

I dry my vehicles because I clay them and wax them a lot. Put them on 4 post lift and away I go.
