I, too, got one of these deionized water setups from Costco. I can
wash my black car and put it away wet, with no spots. I plan to use it
for washing windows, too. I saw a van in England where the guy was
scrubbing leaded-glass windows with a sudsy wand and then rinsing --
no squeegee. I asked him about his process, and found that he had a
tank of deionized water in the van, with a 12-volt pumping system
feeding his hose nozzle
I haven't seen any degradation in the original batch of resin
crystals, and the unit comes with a spare packet, but someday I'll
need to find a source for the stuff.
