Hey all,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to come up with an idea on how to make a liquid that can best produce water spots. I know this is VERY ODD, but I want to compare and contrast some water-spot removers in a controlled environment. The remover that I want to try is the Stoner Water Spot Remover but I want to try it in my garage in a very controlled way without waiting for the spots to occur naturally.
So what ideas do you have? What can I brew up to make some tough spots?
 
Common tap water is going to contain (based on region) some amount of calcium, sodium, and magnesium (among other things). Calcium and magnesium are the main culprits for things like limescale on kitchen and bath fixtures... so I'd play with a way to get those introduced to a mix, spray and artificially expedite evaporation (hair dryer).

I bet a place that sells vitamins would have something you could use to create your calc. mag. mix.
 
Look for someone/someplace that draws water from a groundwater well. And fill up a jug. Wet a surface and let sit in the sun.
 
:idea:
In order to make some
artificial/fake water spots...
You could mix up a batch of
artificial/fake water.

Try getting water from the gutters along your house. Like on the roof, probably contaminated with all sorts of things.

Or maybe an in ground well?

I would dissolve a few of those in a gallon of water and add about a tablespoonful of NaCl.

But to make it legit, go to a pool store and get some test strips of a meter that can read TDS. I'd shoot for about 800.

It shouldn't take much.

I can send you some 450 TDS water from my tap LOL.

I did a similar experiment a while back but my objective was different than yours. I built a RO/DI water system for washing my bikes and truck and I wanted to see how well it worked. I simply rinsed one test panel with tap water and the other with the RO/DI water and let them dry naturally. The difference was night and day.
 
Another idea, just buy some Perrier.

TDS 460.
