We´ve all had to swiftly
run round our cars to dry them before water spots form, which are very hard to
remove and can badly affect paintwork. And try as you might, washing and drying
will cause swirl marks and light surface scratching.
Existing in-line water filters are either very expensive or have incredibly
short lives, and can waste the casing, which is very environmentally unfriendly.
The new Raceglaze Ltd. Maxi-Filter uses a durable 11 bar pressure tested fiberglass
tank ready filled with 7 liters of premium A1 grade resin. You can even add quick connects, which you
may already have, or are available at your local garden supply store.
Your water supply comes into the unit and is distributed out from the top
strainer into the resin bed, falls under pressure and gravity down through the
resin bed and as its only outlet is into the bottom strainer and up the pipe,
comes through the resin bed to emerge on the outlet side as close to 0 parts
per million (ppm) of dissolved solids as possible.
Using a garden hose to wash a car uses approx. 30 liters of water a final rinse
only a fraction of that - we estimate 5-7 liters at most.
This is a breakthrough in filtered water product for car washing that is
proving to be very popular.
We recommend that a final rinse is performed at half water pressure, just
sufficient to create a wave of water over the vehicle, and should be able to be
completed in around 45 seconds for a midsize car, little over a minute for a
4x4. This is based on filter testing at Raceglaze over the last 4 years.
WILL WATER SOFTENERS DO THE SAME THING?
Water Softeners change dissolved hardness into dissolved sodium bicarbonate
which removes lime scale. However, if you boil off the resultant water you will
have a residue at the end of the process - which will be left on your car if
you use softened water to wash it and let it dry in the sun.
Our filter totally removes all dissolved solids and there will be nothing left
on your car after sun drying. They are different process designed to do
different things.
Our resin vessels are imported from Great Britain and comprise a quality PE
inner shell and wound fiberglass outer. These are high quality, strong units
with best quality fittings and top grade resin.
You’ll notice the difference, and you’ll be proud to own this filter.
Please note that this product is
intended for your final car rinse only for
your most efficient use and economy.
Your municipal water authority will offer information usually online
regarding water quality. Water quality
varies widely throughout the US and Canada, and many are surprised that their
local water supply is far from perfect. If
you use well water, there’s a high probability you’ll definitely notice the
advantages of our Raceglaze Maxi Filter.
