I did construct an active charcoal and calcium inhibitor filter rig for my pressure washer about the same time I removed the water injection system.

The problem with washing cars at home was they would still look dirty when the water dried, now with the charcoal and calicium inhibitor filter they look a lot better.

The calcium inhibitor canister is made for water mist systems, to keep hard water mineral from building up on near by surfaces and clogging mist nozzles.
Point is the charcoal and calcium inhibitor can very easily be used to fill my water tank at home.
I pulled the water injection system while the turbo install was going on. One thing I had to do when putting on the turbo is remove my upper intake plenum and reinstall it backwards. There was no mineral build up in the upper or lower intake manifold and I have ran at least 200 gallons of tap water through it from truck stops all over I-40 since I put it on.
