  • Easy to use and works great
Style: Car Wash System
Easy to use and does a wonderful job at leaving my vehicles spot free. Our water leaves spots badly and this is a sure fix. You do have to replace the filters occasionally but it’s worth it.

  • It works!
Style: Car Wash System
I bought this to help speed up and take some of the work out of washing our large motorhome that is dark in color. We’re on spring water here, and it had always left spots so I had to hand dry it as I was washing it in order to get to the drying before it spotted. I now ONLY wash and rinse and have zero water spots. Filter life is heavily influenced by haw many impurities your filtering out, our water isn’t that bad and this is coming up on 2 years now for us and I’ve still now replaced the filters. That being said I’m not washing the motorhome every month either. Just washed the motorhome and superduty Ford yesterday and still no spots on either. ... show more

  • Filters dont last very long!
Style: Car Wash System
Loved this thing for the first 60 days, it worked great, no need to dry or wipe down your vehicle or windows. That lasted for a few times of use, now its leaving spots on my windows and my truck! Filters are way too expensive to replace for the amount of times I used it. Amazon said I missed the return window by one week but I'm gonna try to return anyway. Really sad about the performance of this product, I've used Apec products for years and they usually perform great. Unless you don't mind spending 80 bucks every 3 months on filters I'd pass on this one! ... show more

  • Great system!
Style: Car Wash System
I didn’t purchase the system for washing vehicles but it did a great job in quickly rinsing off my truck and leaving it spotless. I purchased the APEC 300 for washing house windows. Living in an area with very hard water, containing many minerals, washing windows was a waste of time leaving leaving the windows spotted with water mineral stains. The APEC left them crystal clear with no water spots. It paid for itself with the first cleaning considering the going rate for cleaning windows is $300 in our area. This is my second spotless cleaner and the APEC filter system is much easier to handle with the filters encased in hard plastic shells. I was going to give it four stars for manufacturing deficiencies because the holes for the stand and handle didn’t quite line up with the frame holes but it was an easy fix with my DeWalt power drill and running a 1/4 inch drill bit through for alignment. Overall, very pleased with the product. ... show more

  • Works longer with modification
Style: Car Wash System
Some reviews indicate the filters don't last long and that is true if used for the whole wash process. The filters should be used only for the final rinse which is complicated by need to swap the hose feeding the filter with your spray nozzle or pressure washer. I dislike quick disconnects. I tried cheaper two way hose splitters with valves at both ends with a short hose for the bypass, but the splitters did not hold up and started leaking. So I am using the rather over engineered design in my attached photos. There is another vender that has basically the same filters and cart, and includes a bypass but uses the cheaper splitters. I used this rig for two years on multiple vehicles and this year I will be changing cartridges. Unfortunately on of the plastic housings is cracked. I live where the winters can get really cold and a store the Apec system in n unheated garage. That said, I tried the drain the water out last fall, but apparently did not get it all. Next winter it goes to the basement. I have ordered an Apec 20inch housing which should replace the broken bits but at a cost of $80. Next winter it goes to the basement. ... show more

  • Best tool I have for washing cars
Style: Car Wash System
I was skeptical that anything would work on our HARD water. Tested this out on an older vehicle first, before risking it on my new car. Seemed to work fine, so I used it to wash my new car, and it work beautifully. I didn't have to constantly re-rinse the car to keep it from drying. By the time I finished washing, half the car was completely dry, and not a single water spot. I'll probably have to change cartridges fairly often, due to how terrible our water is, but it's worth it! ... show more

  • It’s okay
Style: Car Wash System
Will update as we go: Our first one leaks right where the two filters connect so contacted Amazon for a replacement and just got our new replacement. So hopefully the new one doesn’t leak. As for water spots uncertain as we just used it for the first time, we have extremely hard water and it did help a little bit but I wonder if it’s because it was the first time. Will update as we go and use it more Update: has done a few washes with it now! Our first system was definitely flawed and our new one right out of the box didn’t need to be filtered through! Barely left water spots and we have very hard water also! So far liking it! ... show more

  • Leaving water spots after second use
Style: Car Wash System
Bought new filters for $140 bucks, washed my motorcycle, then about 6 weeks later I washed my 35 ft RV. Started leaving spots about half way through the wash. I tested a DI water sample was 110 ppm, tap water is 160 ppm. They say 50 PPM is max until you need to change the filters. Seems odd that the filters are ineffective so soon? Should I have drained the filters between washings? ... show more
