Precedent Excel Golf Car with the ERIC Charging System Owner s Manual Page 27 Batteries Deionized Water Deionized water is created by inducing electrically charged resins that attract and bind to sodium calcium iron copper chloride and bromide ions The result of this electrical filtering is purified water which contains little to no mineral ions To make sure the deionized water remains at a high quality replace the filter in the deionizer per the manufacturer s recommendations The Service Parts Department at Club Car offers two different deionizer systems one for vehicles equipped with the Single Point Watering System SPWS CC P N AM1240701 and the other for vehicles without SPWS CC P N AM10974 Alternate Methods e Reverse Osmosis Reverse osmosis involves forcing water through a membrane that allows water to pass while trapping solids The choice of membrane used determines the amount of solids or impurities which get trapped and hence the purity quality of the filtered water In addition the usage frequency of the membrane can also contribute to the filtered water quality Due to the variance in water quality consistency Club Car recommends the use of the deionizer or distilled water Tap Water While the use of tap water without filtering is an alternate method of battery watering its use should be limited due to the levels of dissolved minerals and chemicals that can degrade battery performance and life If unfil
