Re: Spot Free water softener/Filtration system
Thanks Tom. I have a few questions for you.
Have you had to replace the resin yet?
Yes, I got probably 1 year of washings out of the cartridges and I washed my cars about once a week in the summer. After talking to the owner of the company, it is dependant oh how hard your water is, I thought I had hard water at 86 PPM due to spotting, but he told me out west where he was it's like 300 to 400 I believe which is bad. The better your water, the longer they will last.
Have you tried recharging the resin yourself by just running salt and water?
No, I bought the replacement resin packs, you flush out the old and install the new. I have enough to last me for a while.
How is the pressure if you didn't use a power wash system? I plan on just plugging the system into just a normal hose that has measured around 75psi.
The instructions say to not exceed 75 psi inlet water pressure, but my unit came with flow restrictors you just inserted into the hose, which are not needed if you use a pressure washer. You might call them or email them on that. You might also look around for a distributor if you are interested since they upped pricing for third parties. I got mine back before they did this but I do like the unit.
Hope this helps,
Tom
