  • In this video I show you how to put together your own home made water deioniser. I went from 400PPM to 0PPM. No more water marks and I can safely rinse of my car in the sun without worry. It costs about £150 to put together but should last years, not months before water spotting starts with casual home use.

    I use 3 x 5 litre vessels, when the TDS gets to 010 ppm I change the resin in vessel 1 and move it to vessel 3. Works out about 20% more efficient which, for me, means 1 less bag of resin per year (£100).

    Great video and well explained. 👍I've got the same setup and would be interested on how long it lasts as I have 450ppm tap water. Also to see if 50ppm is the magic number to change the resin.

    • @SpectrumGeeks
      @SpectrumGeeks  3 года назад +1

      Still at 0, but with winter (no sun) and lockdown I have not always been using it, so I think its going to last the usual home user many years.

    Hi mate, quick question: if i ve right seen the system arrives with 2 black connectors male 1/4-male 3/4 to adapt the green lock hose 3/4, right?

    • @SpectrumGeeks

      Yeah sounds about right, it was a fair time ago I did this now, but covered all parts of putting it together in the video.

    Hi there - new to all this - what are the 2 connectors that you use to go into the in and out of the vessel please. I have a hozelock male connection with a thread but its a bit leaky.

    • @SpectrumGeeks
      @SpectrumGeeks  9 месяцев назад

      The vessel kit came with the black inserts that go into the top of the vessel, then onto these I used cheap hozelock type connections, but with PTFE tape to give a good seal.

    Not bad at all, with a 4 year old 5 stage RO mine is still around 10ppm (down from 550 ppm from the tap).

    • @M0LHA
      @M0LHA 4 года назад

      My CoTs resin filter works really poorly with a jet wash, do you think this'd fair better? Right now I have a dedicated waterbutt filled with RO which I use inbetween washes in combination with a detailer

    • @SpectrumGeeks
      @SpectrumGeeks  4 года назад

      I cant really comment on the jet wash as not used it for that, as I only use the DeIonised water for rinsing. Which like you I used to do via watering cans and a water butt, but now just use the hose with this inline.
      I don't see why it wouldn't work though as it has good flow.
      If the weather lets up I will be washing a car or bike this week so can see how it works with my Karcher.

      The black connectors came with the vessel itself, not a separate purchase.

      No video, but its still going strong on the same bottle of resin, however I have not used it for a while as don't have access to a tap at the moment. I have no idea how many litres have gone through it, but I have used it for the car washing, washing windows, washing solar panels, etc.

    i bought a resin vessel just like this but there is hardly any water coming out from the out section. what am i doing wrong perhaps?

    • @SpectrumGeeks
      @SpectrumGeeks  20 дней назад

      I have not had this issue, my only guess would be some clogging in the filter or the exit hole. Water flows freely through mine, I can even tip it on the exit side to empty it of water after each use.

    Go and buy yourself a 4 stage. Reverse own Moses, they are a 180 quid that is with a water pump. It does 100 gallons a day. That is what you want, you do not wanna keep buying those big bags of resin
