IMADreamer Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hello all, at my home I've rigged up a rain water system for watering the garden and it got me thinking. I wonder if I could rig this up then filter it so it could be used to wash my cars? So that got me thinking, I wonder if any of my fellow Adam's enthusiasts have done this? It was suggested to me to go buy an inline filter at the hardware store and maybe put an irrigation screen in front of it and that might do the trick. What do you guys think? I like the idea of being able to capture that water and reuse it rather then using the hard water from the tap. Also it will conserve water which isn't an issue here, but it doens't hurt.

BlueGenCoupe Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think its a great idea for watering flowers and what not, but I don't know if I would use it on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@Adams Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I think it would be more work than its worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Slow Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I saw a thread for just this on detailing world. Just google or bing detailing world and their site should pop up, then just search. I'd put up a link, but I'm on strike with them. I've tried three times to register and have never received an e-mail back so I can't post Oh well, that just leaves more time for this place.
