I would like to buy one, not settled yet on brand.

I don't think the top Snow Performance system is better than Aquamist's best, but
depending upon your goals either the Snow or Aquamist setup may be more than you need.
It's just like aftermarket brakes and suspensions, you can drop a lot of money on the top-of-the-line equipment, but if you never require the additional capability then you're just wasting your money when a more cost effective option might have met your needs just fine.
Figure out what you plan to do with the WI and then find the system that meets your needs. I bet that qualitatively the Snow and Aquamist hardware are comparable.

The new HFS Kits come with even more...
High Flow pumps
Flow Rate Display Standard
Configurable safety outputs AND switches
Choice of jets and now 'Y' piece comes standard
There is also a 'bare bones' kit that Aquamist is releasing to compete with the cheaper kits that are available while holding to the Aquamist standard of quality.
We have installed many now, and are very impressed with them. The ONLY problem with Aquamist, is that they are relatively low production and the demand right now is very high with the new systems just being released.

Aquamist has the best controller, pump, and failsafe, but is pretty complicated to set up
why run just water? how about meth or denatured alcohol. it will make much more power than just water

Be clear on that point about power, it needs to be tuned for it first off, and
much more power on methanol vs water is hardly a universally accepted fact, and would be highly application dependent as well.

The car should already be tuned for it off right?
water is used for cooling, alcohol/methanol cool as well as raise effective octane therefore creating MORE power. Please tell me how water is "universally accepted" to make as much power as 50/50 water and meth, 100% meth, or 100% denatured alcohol. every car benefits from higher octane in the combustion chamber as well as lower IAT's and that is universally accepted to make more power.
