Hard Water Spots-- What to do ?

[ford_truck_guy]

I have very hard water ( well water) at home and getting tired of always drying the trailer after washing.

What are some tips , secretes you all may be doing to make it easier ?? I am NOT getting any younger ! 🙂

I have heard of using a leaf blower to blow off excess water , does that work ?
I also heard of folks using soap (Rainex) that says it stops water spots?
How about inline hose water filters ?? any suggestions there ??

Why don't you put in a whole house water softener for like $400. We did that in Arkansas when we lived there and no more hard water

That is a possibility , but the house is hooked into the city water... Its just the 2 outside hose bibs that are still drawing off the well water.. I may try hooking up to the in house sink and see if that's better ??

If you don't have a lot of money to throw at a water softener, consider giving the TT a good wax job. Cleaner waxes like Mequires do a great job. I've also read on here about a product called REEJEX, which I plan on trying.

you may need two things to solve your problem

1) a water softener. that will remove calcium and magnesium and help a great deal, however, it does not remove all the elements that give water spots.
2) a dionizer. that will remove the rest of the stuff that gives spots.

A water softener can be recharged using salt. The deionizer isn't rechargeable, you replace the resin.

you can either do a whole house water softener, or get a portable one and see how it works. If needed get a deionizer.
