# Spot Free Rinse

> Portable deionised (DI) water purification systems, assembled and tested in Brisbane, for spot free vehicle washing, window cleaning, and solar panel maintenance. Produces pure water (0 ppm from fresh resin, checked with the included TDS meter) that air dries without spots, streaks, or residue.

## About

Spot Free Rinse makes portable DI water tanks that connect to a standard garden hose. The system removes dissolved minerals from tap water using mixed-bed ion exchange resin, producing water at 0 ppm TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) from fresh resin. When used as a final rinse after washing, the purified water air dries completely clean, so there is no need to hand dry.

Founded in Australia by Marko after he accidentally discovered spot free rinsing while using purified water from his window cleaning equipment on his car. More than 20 resin configurations were tested before launching the product. The system is refined through ongoing real-world customer feedback from across Australia.

Australian-owned. All systems assembled, tested, and shipped locally. Support is by phone or email.

## Product Range and Specifications

### DI Purification Tanks

Each tank size refers to its resin capacity: a 10L tank holds 10 litres of mixed-bed ion exchange resin.

| Tank | Resin Capacity | Resin Bags | Output (at 100 ppm input) | Estimated Rinses (at 30L/rinse) | Price (AUD) | Resin Replacement Kit (Full Kit) |
|------|---------------|------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------|-------------|----------------------------------|
| Lite (top seller) | 10L | 2 | 2,550 to 2,900 L | 85 to 97 | $499 | $159 |
| Pro | 15L | 3 | 3,825 to 4,350 L | 127 to 145 | $699 | $225 |
| Commercial (special order) | 25L | 5 | 6,375 to 7,250 L | 212 to 241 | $999 | $329 |

Output scales linearly with resin volume. Rinses also scale with your tap water TDS: at 200 ppm input you get about half as many. The Commercial is a special order tank: contact us to order.

Real-world test result: ~500L of 0 ppm output from a 6L resin load on ~290 ppm input water.

What is included with every tank:
- Tank arrives filled with HFR (High Flow Resin), mixed bed, ready to use
- Bypass head fitted
- TDS meter for monitoring resin status
- 2 m connector hose
- Instructions

All tanks are pressure washer compatible. Full-pressure rinse with no flow restriction. Standard Australian garden hose fittings.

## How It Works

1. Wash your vehicle, windows, or solar panels with normal tap water and detergent as usual
2. Connect the Spot Free Rinse tank between your garden hose and spray nozzle (the bypass head fitted to every tank switches between tap and DI water)
3. Do a final rinse with the purified water (0 ppm TDS from fresh resin)
4. Pack up. The water air dries with no spots, streaks, or residue

No electricity, no pumps, no plumbing. The system runs entirely on mains water pressure. Works with garden hoses and pressure washers.

## Technical Details

- Technology: Mixed-bed ion exchange resin (cation and anion resin combined)
- Output water quality: 0 ppm TDS from fresh resin (check it with the included TDS meter)
- Removes dissolved minerals including calcium, magnesium, and iron
- Designed for the final rinse only, not the full wash, to maximise resin life
- Cold water only, as hot water damages the resin
- Resin should be replaced when output TDS exceeds 10 ppm or light spotting appears
- Compatible with municipal tap water (30–600 ppm), bore/well water, and tank/rainwater

## Australian Tap Water TDS (from customer reports)

Water quality varies significantly across Australia depending on metro vs rural location, and whether the source is dam, rainwater, or bore water. These are real readings reported by Spot Free Rinse customers:

- Canberra region: 30–50 ppm
- Near Cairns, QLD: 27 ppm
- Sydney metro: 100–150 ppm
- Perth metro: ~250 ppm
- Regional Western Australia: up to 400 ppm
- General Australian range: 30–500+ ppm

Lower TDS input = longer resin life. Customers in Canberra and North Queensland get significantly more rinses per resin fill than customers in Perth or regional WA.

## Common Questions

- What is a DI water rinse system? A portable filter that removes dissolved minerals from tap water using ion exchange resin, producing pure water that dries without spots or residue.
- Do I still need to wash with detergent first? Yes. Spot Free Rinse replaces the final rinse step only, not the wash itself. This also maximises resin life.
- Can I replace the resin myself? Yes. All tanks are designed for easy resin replacement at home. The process takes about 15 minutes. You'll need scissors to open the bags.
- Does it work in full sun? Yes. Because the water contains no minerals, it cannot leave spots regardless of temperature or sun exposure. No need to race the sun or wait for shade.
- How do I know when to replace the resin? When water spots start appearing again, or when the included TDS meter reads above 10 ppm.
- Is it safe on car paint? Yes. Purified water is safer than tap water because it contains no minerals that cause etching or staining. Safe on paint, clear coat, glass, chrome, stainless steel, aluminium, plastic trim, and solar panels.
- Can I use warm or hot water? No. Cold tap water only. Hot water damages the resin and reduces its lifespan.
- Do you ship Australia-wide? Yes. Free shipping on tanks and water fed pole kits. Orders ship the next business day.
