Does the filter do anything for the grease/dissolved crap in the
agitene or does it just filter particulate?
That's the one disadvantage to the filter that I can think of......
The water is something I've considered but I have a tank style, not
the sink on a barrel style you have (if I'm remembering
correctly). I really like being able to just drop something in the
tank and let it sit for a week (month....) and let time do the job for me....
Maybe I'll build a new washer with a sink on a barrel and make sure I
put in a drain stopper.... :-)
