Do you know how hard YOUR water is?

United States Water Hardness Map, What is my water hardness? (http://www.qualitywatertreatment.com/city_water_guide.htm)

Looks like im in the 3-4 range here in az...

Not sure if that chart is 100% accurate. My water is 220-250ppm from my measurements and the chart says my area is moderately hard. Anything over 180ppm is considered very hard.

Nice map! Thank goodness I have a purifier. The first time I washed my Sky here I knew I was going to have to hook my hose up to the garage so it got the purified water!

Seems right for my area. Good thing my local detail shop has an RO/DI machine to fill up our tanks. Tried detailing with regular water once.....never again.

I use this one and I am pleased with it. There is a single and dual canister setup. I wouldnt bother with the single setup.

Deluxe Clean Water Filter Kit, 2 step water filter system, water filter for car washing, inline hose filter (http://www.autogeek.net/deluxe-filter-system.html)

I was actually looking at that one before I purchased my CR Spotless but I have no-where to mount in the front of my home.
Could of saved a bit of $'s.
I have also used my mobile CR on several remote wash/waxes thou.

I mounted my 2 canister kit to a 2' by 2' chunk of plywood. It is mobile albeit a bit awkward to move around.
Eventually I would like to pick up the CR mobile unit.

Yeah, not believing that since it says I have extremely hard water here and we have pretty darn soft water. Can almost let my hose water dry on the car after a wash. Well, not that bar, but not one bit like my in laws in PA where all the fixtures have build up on them from water running and soap doesn't lather, but rinses off immediately in the shower.

Yep I'm in the green :(

It seems to be accurate for our water. It was between 7 and 8 grains hard.
