    If one of our elite AGO crew members would please chime in here .......... :dblthumb2: Recently the foam cannon has lost pressure to the point of little more than a garden hose would push.

    Austin, Texas

    I guess not everyone is as sane in this town as I had hoped ........ This guy lit his home with family still inside & crashed his plane into a bldg. housing various Federal offices ....... mainly IRS. I drove by the location just about 20 minutes before it happened. Crazy world we live in.

    Water conditioner additive?

I'm wanting to use soft water & this seems to be a great alternative to a filtration system ....... which I have no room for on the existing setup. Besides, the filters wouldn't last...
