Thumbs up Initial impressions: Deluxe filter system w/pics

I received the Deluxe Filter System from AG today. The water at my house is very hard, so I thought I'd give this a shot.

I checked to make sure everything was there, it was, and proceeded to hook it up.

Installation was a breeze. I just chose a place to mount the canisters, screwed the bases in and hooked everything up. Only took about 15 minutes.



Next I washed my car with a foam gun using Meg's GC. Instantly I noticed significantly more suds. So much so I decided to do a comparison.

Here are some images for comparison. Pretty amazing...

And some more, after applying with the foam gun.

With filter...


As you can see, the suds are significantly denser when using the filter. Upon drying, the water felt significatly softer as well.

I don't have a water tester to scientifically compare the two, but going by my completely non-scientific impressions, the system is very impressive and a nice addition to my detailing supplies.

Thumbs up!

Nice review! I've always felt lucky not to live in an area that has hard water.
