# Spot Free Rinse

> Australian-designed portable deionised (DI) water purification systems for spot-free vehicle washing, window cleaning, and solar panel maintenance. Produces verified 0 ppm output water 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 true 0 TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) water. When used as a final rinse after washing, the purified water air-dries completely clean — eliminating the 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. Marko personally calls customers after delivery to check how the system is performing.

## 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 | Output (at 100 ppm input) | Estimated Rinses (at 30L/rinse) | Price (AUD) | Resin Replacement Cost |
|------|---------------|---------------------------|--------------------------------|-------------|----------------------|
| Mini | 5L | 1,350–1,500L | 45–50 | $329 | $99 |
| Medium (top seller) | 10L | 2,550–2,900L | 85–97 | $499 | $159 |
| Large | 15L | 4,000–4,500L | 133–150 | $649 | $225 |
| XL | 25L | 6,700–7,500L | 220–250 | $999 | $349 |

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:
- Pre-filled DI tank with premium high-flow mixed-bed resin (ready to use)
- Tank jacket (black or navy blue)
- Male hose connectors and approximately 2 metres of hose
- External bypass valve (Medium, Large, XL)
- Complimentary TDS meter for monitoring resin status
- Instructions

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

### Resin Replacement Kits
Pre-measured mixed-bed DI resin refill packs. Each kit includes a custom refill funnel with safety cap, extraction tube, resin collection cloth bag, and instructions. Replacement takes approximately 15 minutes with no additional tools required. All tanks are designed for easy at-home resin replacement.

### Water Fed Pole Kit
22ft hybrid telescopic water fed pole for cleaning windows, solar panels, and high surfaces with purified water. Available individually ($700) or as a bundle with a 10L tank ($1,099).

### Accessories
- External Bypass Valve ($65) — routes water around the tank during the soap wash stage
- Tank Head With Bypass ($85) — integrated bypass switching
- Premium Telescopic Car Wash Mop ($35)
- Soft Bristle Tyre Brush ($16)
- Synthetic Wool Wheel Brush ($15) — scratch-free rim cleaning
- Water Fed Pole Hose Adapter ($24.95) — 8mm push fit with flow control
- SFR Glide Pro Swivel Pad Window Washer ($45)

## 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 (or use the bypass valve to switch between tap and DI water)
3. Do a final rinse with the purified 0 TDS water
4. Walk away — the water air-dries with zero 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: True 0 ppm TDS (verified by included TDS meter)
- Removes dissolved minerals including calcium, magnesium, and iron
- Designed for final rinse only — not the full wash — to maximise resin life
- Cold water only — 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.

## Customer Reviews

## 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 refill the tank myself? Yes. All tanks are designed for easy resin replacement at home. The process takes about 15 minutes with no tools beyond what is included in the refill kit.
- 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 typically ship within 1–2 business days.
