Hi mate that's good to know i was having a debate with a windy today and i always use mine up to 5ppm but he is not happy with that and wants me to change resin sooner so wanted to know what everybody else would do.

I've had a slight problem in the past with water at 15-17ppm tds.

I would happily use water at up to 10ppm

Could you expand on that please mate? Maybe I'm thick, but glass manufacturers don't treat glass in a beneficial way regarding window cleaners do they?
