I am looking for a filter so I can wash our car without leaving hard water stains (from our well water). Do you have any experience with that?

Yes I do. I just purchased one a couple months ago. Our water in our town has so much chlorine content in it that you can smell it in the shower. So, I bought one for our shower head and one for outside hose bib. They both worked wonders. No more chlorine smell in shower, and no more burning and yellowing of plants and flowers. I would highly recommend a Ecoone filter. Hope you enjoy yours as we do ours.

I haven't used it to wash a car, but I imagine it would work just fine. You just hook one end of the filter up to the hose, and the other to the sprayer head. Has normal water pressure and everything.

Sorry I don't. I use the filter for watering veggies from a water line that is old and rusting.

I like mine but I purchased it for my chickens and garden. No experience with washing cars. Should work well. Plenty of flow.

twinsmom: I haven't had that problem but I have lost another brand to a car wash in the past. it is a well-made product and certainly inexpensive (compare to dealer price). probably worth a try for you.

I have only installed this filter a few weeks ago, looking at the glass it removes a lot of sediment,I have a well. So far so good, I am happy with this filter,I would recommend it to a friend.

Yes. I noticed a few drops of water had gotten in. I've only run it through a car wash once though.

i am very happy with this filter system. i have well water and have not been able to drink the water for a long time. after we installed this system our water is drinkable now. the company was the best with help on any question we had and so friendly. YES I would recommend this to anyone that has well water. we have tested the water now 2 different time and very happy with the result.

I use this for well water and am pleased with the results. It is not rated for well water, but I like it. I started using it because our water has so many minerals and it was hard on my hair. It has made a huge difference. Now they are adding chlorine to our well - so it is helpful for that also. I have been using these filters for about 3 years.

You can buy filter cleaner from your local auto parts store or I've herd of guys using dawn dish soap, don't know about that one. So apply the cleaner to the outside of the filter let it sit for a few minutes, then wash from the inside out, with the hose on a very low and constant flow

I recommend it. Its worked for me quite well. Collects water well. I can't say about other contaminants. I don"t see any to speak of. Just push in the air valve underneath to release the water. For what I pd works great. Just don't forget to drain your tank which helps with removing the water. The filter really useful if you use any air tools. Hope I helped you.

I use this filter on my hose when using my pressure washer. It keeps small particles from clogging the machine or nozzles but it is not fine enough to filter out very suspended particles (ie cloudy water). You would need a much finer filter than this. Think of it as more like a strainer than a filter.

i use it in my splash superpool (look it up if interested) with same style cleaner and really recommend it - it keeps the crap out of your filter. might want to monitor it to "burp" the air out of the system every once in awhile. there's a good video for it on youtube.

I live in an area where water is very hard. The filter doesn't remove the calcium. I can see that while boiling the filtered water; have to clean the boiler every day if I don't want to have any sediment in my tea. I find the Berkey filter more effective.

Ur going to make a really big mess of the filter and inside, but I sucked a lot of automotive fluids up just not huge amounts at a time and it seems to do ok. There might be something out there more directly suited to that specific task though.

I agree with the others the fx6 is a great filter, but it is still necessary to do frequent water changes. No filter will do that for you.

I have not had any problem cleaning the filter. I put it in the shower and use dish washing detergent. My Heat and Air Conditioning tech does it at an outdoor water outlet which does not have hot water but I do not know what cleansing agent he uses. Love it and am sure it has saved hundreds of dollars.

I've not removed mine since I've had it. Not had any problems that I'm aware of. I go thru the carwash and everything with it.

I have had no problems with it in car washes.Make sure it is securely mounted with no long bolts with extra threads exposed that may cause a problem. It worked well for me..

Yes, I own two of them and go through the car wash every week - no problem. Great tool box - worth the extra money.
