Default water filter system

looking for a filter system that will remove the stuff added to water that causes spotting. I have a black bike so i need some help. I know that spots can be prevented, I used the mr clean system when it was available and my bike dried spot free. I purchased a inline filter from amazon, aqua crest I think. It helped, still had spots but they was softer. If you could recommend an economically priced system that will let my black bike dry spot free I would be appreciate it. Thanks

I use a CR Spotless system. Not sure I'd say it's economical, but it keeps the water spots off my bike so it's worth it to me.

I have heard of cr spotless. I wouldn't mind putting the money into something just want to be sure it works.

Default DI Rinse

I bought a DI rinse system and fabricated the cart using a welding cart. I have a deep blue pickup truck also and can wash / rinse it in the direct sun, not wipe it down and have no water spots whatsoever. This system has a meter to test the water, and I only run water thru the filter on the final rinse. It works awesome for me. Works the same on the bike too. Air dry after rinse and no spots.
