Thanks for the recommendation on Kinetico. Looks like good stuff, so I'll definitely reach out to them!

I use a CR Spotless DIC-20. I have had it a little over a year and it works as advertised.

Have you guys ever tried to use your rain water??
I'm from Germany but life in the states for a few years now. Back in Germany it's not allowed to wash your car at home. We did it anyway but water is also more expensive over there. So we always used rain water, what we collected in a big tank. My dad put a mesh filter on that tank to get the big debris out and in was the best stuff you can use.
1. Soak the car with tab water
2. Clean with soap
3. Rinse off with tab water
4. Rinse the hole car with rain water
5. Let it dry or dry it with a leather
it will be spotless ether way

Don't hook soft water up to all your hose bibs you will destroy your lawn and garden... also don't hook it up to your kitchen sink or you will destroy your innards.
If you want soft water dedicated for washing vehicles and not an entire home I recommend you get the smallest one you can, and hook it up to a new and conveniently placed hose-bib. Make sure it is clearly labelled for reasons stated above.

The polystyrene beads are large enough for me to see if they do somehow happen to make it out of their pressurized tank into my glass of water. I am not stupid enough to see a bead of plastic in my glass of water and drink it.
