Thanks for the tip. And yes, like Maddog originally suggested I'm looking into getting a DI filter to do the final rinse.

Just so I know... How do you use the vinegar? Do you just wipe with it? or let it sit for a while?

I just dampen a cloth enough that it doesn't drip, wipe the glass (being careful not to get the vinegar on anything else) a few times, and rinse with plenty of water. Make sure to rinse any places that water might collect extra well. May have to repeat a few times for heavy deposits. Pretty much the same procedure that many use with glass cleaner - just a more thorough rinse.
