Title: wfp systems
Post by: stevengreaves on May 06, 2012, 06:16:19 pm

I am considering returning to window cleaning. I need to invest in some wfp technology, but I have not got the first clue, what standard & type of equipment I would need. I currently carpet clean and times are rough right now. I would need to keep my transit van for my carpet cleaning equipment, so I might need to consider a trailer set up. There are r/o systems as well I believe, but I have no idea what the differences are, in price or quality.
Can anyone help please?
Please no replies from manufacturers /suppliers, I am after unbiased advice

First things first you need to establish what the TDS (Totally Dissolved Solids) are in the water from your tap where you will be filling your tank from. Then if you have a low TDS reading you will only need a DI column to polish the water down to 000 Parts per million or PPM. If however it comes out high i.e. over 100 then you will be looking at a Reverse Osmosis system to bring your TDS down. As for the system requirements it depends on your budget and how many windows you plan on cleaning

if you can diy a system and fill it from a static tank (purify water first) this will be the cheapest, of you could have purefreedom or someone like fit a system for about 1500 you want an ro system 450 gpd will do you, possibly a resin polisher (di Unit) (purefreedom) gardiners for a pole 25-27 ft (don't go cheap on poles) trust me you want only gardiners for poles these days, and various conectors hose etc, find someone local to your area to show you the ropes if you can, if not yall find a lot on here.

trolleys are what some people use on here, a pure freedom one is about 600 and you can turn it into a van mount if you like
