Car Water Filter Resin

When resin fails though increased build-up of dissolved mineral solids, the anionically-charged resin beads can no long attaract minerals to bond to them, and your TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) levels rise. You will start to see light water spotting, typically at 10ppm on dark cars and tinted glass. Resin fails at an exponential, not linear rate, and at total failure, not only will pure tap water flow onto your car but some of the previous minerals may be washed off too. 

This is the time to buy new resin.

You can test your TDS with this simple handheld meter (fill a small brand new paper or plastic cup with filtered water) or having installed a Gardena Flow Meter at the start of use, check if you're close to resin capacity (having used our calulator to find out expected 0ppm flow). 

We sell resin in 7 Litre and 25 Litre sacks - 2 x 7L sacks for the 14L. 

Full instructions are provided on the bags. You may also find this Funnel handy, and the tube top cap which prevents resin entering the tube, which will be driven onto your car.
