Inline water filter. Need advice, which one, do they work?

[Whitethunder46]

Need some advice on these. I found two versions.



Griot's Garage 1-800-345-5789 - Car Care

and the two part system from autogeek. I was leaning towards this one, but Griot's Garage version is much simpler for me.



How long do these filters work for? Say I use it for 3 basic washings a week. For theoretical purposes, let's just say the water is average, meaning not a ton of iron or none.



I hope they last awhile because the replacements for Griot's Garage is $110!

For the 2 part at AG they are only $20.



Anyone have some input on this?

Check this out: The Deluxe Filter System is a two part inline water filter system that prevents hard water and removes sediment. The water softener removes minerals while the 5 micron filter catches dirt and sand.

That's the one I'm getting. From my experience, Autpia doesn't like links to AG, so that's why I didn't link it. lol.

I have the one from PW Gazette and am pleased. It doesn't make it 100% spot free, but helps tremendously. Becasue my water is so hard, I use it for wash as well as rinse. Then, I have one of those plastic spaghetti containers with a lid that I put it in when I'm done. Fill it with water and a handfull of salt and it's always ready to go. I leave the filter case hooked up all the time (mounted to my house) and just remove the cartidge when I'm not washing cars.

The best one I've found is CR Spotless: CRSpotless.com - Wash, Rinse, and Walk Away.

heh, three people have already linked the same website

I ordered the one off Autogeek. I'm 99% sure it's the exact same one from PWGazette.com. If not, it's verrrryyy similar.

Same here but I have quick disconnects so I can run through the filter housing or bypass it
