Title: 18ppm still cleaned windows
Post by: Mo Al on September 11, 2012, 10:35:26 pm: I didnt realise until I did a check on the 3rd house with the tds meter, reading of 18ppm checked customers window and they where spot free. So the next 6 houses i cleaned at 14-18ppm! Lol

Anyone else cleaned at higher ppm?

That's exactly the point !

Weigh up resin cost over time increase and see which is the cheapest.

Post by: Mike_G on September 12, 2012, 05:26:05 pm: Not all windows will clean well at anything above 000 tds, some do, dont ask me why but they just dont. I had 012 the other day without realising, I checked the job I was on and the windows spotted, yet the one I did earlier that day which was in and out had dried spotless, probably best not too risk it, imo, the first you hear of the custy complaining is when they have booted you out!

Post by: roundbuilder on September 12, 2012, 11:47:57 pm: No it's down to user error surely. My resin stays at 000 for about 2000 litres and creeps upto the 30s within a month-6 weeks. I use 5000 a week or roughly 20000 a month with the water from anything from 000 to 030 and never get complaints about spotting apart from the odd new first clean which is down to user error not the water.
However I have tried cleaning at 38ppm with just ro water from my merlin and that spotted to buggery so it must be something in the resin that stops it spotting even when hitting the 30's.
