so ive been doing some thinking about pure water and was wondering if d.i only makes the same water as r.o & d.i together?
now your all probably thinking.... who cares, as long as its 000ppm it makes no odds.
but ive heard laterly about calcium filters in r.o's and other filters too.
so do you recon it makes any difference at all?
the reason im asking is because of hard water staining im getting using just d.i, i know theres more factors involved like flow rate and techique also but i thought this is a question worth asking!
anyone any ideas?
thanks

Di would be a better option on its own as it purifies water to 99.9% whereas an ro doesn't. If you are in a hard water area,di only is not cost affective,whereas in a soft water area it is. The hard water staining you are getting is not because you are di only. We've eliminated your water as your problem,so we all think it's because you are a crap window cleaner ;)

I agree with Luther. Not about you being a crap window cleaner but that it's not your water that's the problem! ;D

yeah seems to be lack of scrubbing and rinsing doesnt it, possibly high ppm on acasions too!

I've cleaned windows to spotless results with a PPM of nearly 40 before. It's down to method/technique mate. Frustrating as it is, like I said before the best thing is to study exactly where & how the contamination is occurring. Top frame is my guess. Oh, & don't over-look the importance of scrubbing the bottom of the window (glass) too. It often needs a transverse (side to side) scrub, don't always rely on the normal up/down motion for the bottom 4 inch- especially on first cleans. ;)

yeah i always scrubb side to side at the top and bottom, then up and down in the centre of the glass

The thing is- an hour with an experienced wfp'er is worth a thousand forum posts. It will come dude, it's just the "learning curve". The spotting is from the contamination of the water, the trouble is there are MANY factors which could contribute to that happening. Add to this, that all windows are different- different frames, different glass, the list goes on. It only takes one contaminated drip from a top vent to ruin an otherwise perfect job!

if the water on the glass sheets than it's less likely to have spots ,where if it beads there are more chances to spot.i once did a gutter clean with water straight from custies tap(it hard water area) and also did the windows and they looked spotless when i checked them because the water wasn't beading
