I will let you know Tuga. I ordered and received it in, but won't leave for AZ for a couple of months. It needs 2-3 thousand miles to do the job. I have talked to the company Pres. and he said that it has been in the testing for a few years with bus transit companies.
I'm hopeful that it works great. It releases chemicals at 130 degrees to melt away the build up in the engine radiator and other areas that build up with deposits.
Dale, what is the ordering phone number or web site for this product?
I am getting ready to replace my coolant and filters, should I consider using one of these filters?
Jon, do you have any comments on this product?

The filter is around 45.
I don't like saying to much about a product until I have used it. I will report on my use of it around April after I have cut up the used filter and seen what it looks like.
The theory behind it is you can change coolant but you can't clean the tiny parts of a system that restrict flow.
Let me get this straight...
this product is purported to filter the gunk out of the system? If it works, I want me one of these! Correct me if I'm wrong, but the filter we have on now "conditions" the coolant. (adds additives?) Right? Would there be a negative to putting on the gunk filer in place of conditioning the coolant?
Just curious.
This filter will add chemicals to the coolant to desolve the solids that have built up over time.
If you measure your coolant with a test strip and balance the coolant to the proper levels, then you can replace the filter that you have with a envro-cool filter and use it for 2-3 thousand miles and then go back to the filter you have now.
George the owner of the company said to use his filter every couple of years for 2-3 thousand miles.
Dale,
I purchased 2 of these filters and installed one and ran it for 10,000 miles which is per the instructions. I changed my anti-freeze last month and installed a PowerCool filter with the granules in it. Engine runs cool.
I really haven't noticed any difference, but I was not having a problem with overheating in the first place. I just put the Enviro filter on to clean the system out as a pre-caution.
Which brings up my question. How will no know if it worked, or not? Other than taking apart your radiator, or at least getting somewhat down in there, it seems hard to determine how well it will work?

I will cut the filter up after we get home from the southwest. I will take photos and post them. There should be a lot of gunk in there since my temps are getting higher in the summer and in hills.
Dale,
You are seeing the beginning of the end unless this is a good product.
The tubes in the radiator become blocked, not only reducing the flow, but insulating the coolant so the radiator simultaneously becomes less efficient at transferring heat. That is the classic type of failure and is especially characteristic of 8V92 radiators.
That will be the acid test. The picture I want to see is one of the radiator tubes before the filter and of the tubes after.
In the meantime start looking for someone to recore your radiator.
I may be gullible too, but I ordered one of the Filters today. ( If it is good enough for Dale it is good enough for me )
I told George the tech, that I was getting ready to change out the coolant, and should I put his filter on before I change out the fluid or after?
He said absolutlely his filter before I replace the fluid with new. Run bus for 2-3 months or 3000 miles and then remove and replace all fluids/filter.
His filter and chemicals are suppose to really clean the gunk out of the radiator and engine system, trap it in his 10micron filter and then you throw that filter away, and replace with all new fluid and regular filter.
Sounded good to me ? :o
