Hi Guys
I have a storm on order,and i have a pure water tank on board my that i use for window cleaning,so i want to van mount the storm for jobs that are suited to this
Do you know of any chemical metering system so that i dont have to put my rinse agent in my pure water tank or do i just rinse with hot water?
Any ideas
Oliver

It depends on your prespray.
Cold water is fine for most MS sprays.
I have heard of detrimental effects from using pure water to rinse, but this may have been due to other things. Test first on wool especially.

Hi Oliver,
There is no problem rinsing with pure R/O water. I use DFC, among other presprays like micro splitters pure water heats up higher than tap water too, and is really good for free rinsing the carpet. It has been said that DI water is mineral hungery and quite corrosive but I've been using it now for about 4 years with no ill effects to my TM'S or clients carpets. I cant see me going back to the old way of doing things now it works so well, and i'm not leaving chemicals in peoples homes.

I have the magma heater coming so heat would not be a problem,
As for the pure water it would not be 0 tds would be at about 10ppm dont know if this would make any differance
I like using Liquid high heat after using smp makes a big differance i feel,i know loads of us just rinse with water but feels like i am cheating if i just do that
Regards Oliver

Hi Oliver,
10ppm would fine, even a little more would be ok, I wouldn't feel like i was cheating have a look at this from a U.S. site that supplies pure water systems for cleaning carpets,
Why Pure Water Rinse?
Pure water, unlike soft or hard water, has virtually no dissolved minerals and requires no surfactants or conditioners to overcome hardness or other dissolved components. In standard cleaning processes using traditional chemicals and local water, the residual minerals in the water combine with chemicals which then attach to surfaces and fibers as they dry. After drying, the residual minerals and chemicals are seen as visible contaminants or can flake off fibers and become airborne, similar to cat dander, Airborne mineral and chemical dust triggers allergic reactions, irritates skin, eyes, nose, throat and lungs.
Indoor air quality has become a significant health issue. Only a small amount of our all natural chemical (if any) is required with a Pure Rinse carpet cleaning process and following its application with a pure water rinse will dramatically reduce, if not eliminate, a major source of indoor air pollution. In addition, carpets and upholstery stay cleaner longer, feel softer, maintain appearance and have a clean, fresh aroma.
all the best
