EFFECTS OF IMPURITY
Antimony 5.0
Self-discharge, reduces life, lower
on-charge voltage
Arsenic 0.5 Self-discharge, can form poisonous gas
Calcium 40.0 Increase of positive plate shedding
Chloride 5.0
Loss of capacity in plates, greater loss
in positive plates
Copper 5.0
Increased self-discharge, lower
on-charge voltage
Iron 3.0
Increased self-discharge, lower
on-charge voltage
Magnesium 40.0 Reduced life
Nickel None allowed Intense lowering of on-charge voltage
Nitrates 10.0 Increased sulfation of negative plate
Nitrites 5.0 Plate corrosion, loss of capacity, reduced life
Platinum None allowed Violent self-discharge, lower on-charge voltage
Selenium 2.0 Positive plate shedding
Zinc 4.0 Slight self-discharge of negative plates
DEIONIZER
Deionizer systems for SPWS configured fleets became standard with Model Year 2014 fleet golf orders.
Regular Maintenance
This system requires regular preventative maintenance on at least a quarterly basis.
• Check all screens and/or filters on water supplies. Clean or replace all filters / line strainers as necessary. Failure to
do so can cause a reduction in the water pressure and flow rates needed to operate the system properly. A filter
screen can be found on the inlet of all regulators, and a line strainer on all supply hoses. Be sure to replace the
deionizer filter cartridge as indicated by the water quality light. The Deionizer system has a battery-powered, water
quality light. Deionizer filters have a limited life cycle and are disposable. Life cycle of the filter will vary based on
incoming water quality and water usage. If the deionizer system is equipped with a water quality light, press the
button to check. Replace filter immediately if the red light comes ON indicating service is required.
Replacement filters are available from Club Car Service Parts.
• Inspect the condition of all tubing, connections, and couplers. Make sure that all parts are in good working condition,
secure, leak free, and properly connected. The coupler must have an O-ring and the dust cover properly attached.
• Clean optical indicator of the water quality light. If the optical indicator is dirty, clean it by wiping with a cloth.
Decals
Starting December 2013, new decals were installed on the deionizer wall bracket and the deionizer filter. The blue,
deionizer wall bracket decal is a Filter Replacement Record Log. The yellow filter decal is a Fleet Inspection Record
Log. Use these decals to record filter replacement activity and fleet inspection activity. For convenience, both decals
have a QR code for ordering replacement filters.
Seasonal Maintenance
Water supplies must be drained and stored in an empty state if they will be exposed to freezing temperatures. Failure
to do so can cause permanent damage.
