Water filtration - I'm a believer

I used the AG double in-line water filtration system today and I'm a believer. First of all, maybe its my imagination but with my foam gun, using the same ratio as always (2 oz DP Extreme : 6 oz water), I was able to take the mixing valve down a notch and got even MORE thick foam. Drying was MUCH easier and in fact, my Cobra WW seemed to work like when they were new. No water spots at all. One suggestion I might make is to use a double outlet valve on the faucet with another hose so you don't have to use and/or waste filtered water when washing out your supplies. Worth the investment if you got the $$.

i was given the chance to use a water deionizer a few weeks ago, and it truly left no water spots, it was amazing....i didnt need to dry the car at all. its like a 3 or 4 hundred dollar system thta hooks up to the pressure washer...im really considering getting it now because well i was skeptical before but one use and im convinced, no spots in broad daylight!

Yup, you'll find that just about anything foams much better when water is softened

Glad to hear that, I will be picking this up... water spots are such a problem for me, even with a leafblower. With the Florida sun (or even without it), it seems that water spots already start forming a few seconds after I stop rinsing. It's so annoying.

Kelso, do you have a link??????
I am looking to buy something NOW!!!!!!!!!!


Also, how many gallons can the filter AG sells "clean". I know it depends on the water, but I am looking for a ROUGH estimate.... Anyone?
