I've read a few posts on here with lads saying they've worked up to 009 but I noticed spotting today on various jobs at 002. From what I can tell if it ain't pure it ain't no good. Right or wrong?

Total tosh Colin Purewater
Worked at 44 n no probs
So that's Colin not so pure lol
-
Wrong. If your getting spotting at 002 it's more down to technique than the water I'm afraid.
-
I'm working at 11 atm. An inline Tds meter could give you a reading of 10 yet the same with a hand held could be 000,so you'd renew your resin for nothing? Don't listen to all the pro's tell you they only clean at 000,they're full of sh!t

Cleaned with 5 all day yesterday with no probs'
-
Ours hit 004 about 2 months ago and hasn't moved.
lads on here said not to touch it so i did my house. Absolutely fine, was quick too, just in case.
Try your own house, dont rinse one pane, rinse the next. See what you think...

totally agree
-
At 002 its not your water your tds meter could be
faulty.
-
Mine is on 002 at the moment - been on this for about a month or so now with no probs at all - I've personally cleaned higher with no probs
As Lanes said above - clean your own windows and see for yourself

Spot on Deege ;)

I did a little experiment at then end of last year
To see how high it could let my water go to
Without compromising quality.
I had loads of in and out jobs booked in so I thought
It would be the perfect time to do it with the sun
Being low in December and November
Got to 037 with perfect results :o
I was very surprised!
I would like to add I'm using 000 again now as the price
Of getting the water to 000 is not worth using anything but..
-
i mainly stay at working with 000 water but occasionally it creeps up to 015 before i change resin.no problems whatsoever.
seriously mate if your getting spotting at 002 its NOT THE WATER!!itll be either not rinsing enough or water is getting contaminated eg. mixing with dirt under rubber seals and running down the window when you ve left or top frames not cleaned properly dripping dirty water.

i've cleaned my house a few times with just my tap water which is 36ppm & pole with no problems, i think wfp is mostly about cleaning the frames, if they're spot on the glass takes seconds

Your TAP WATER is 36ppm! WOW! Didnt think it was possible to have tap water that low?
-
You should be able to tell by the type of spots on the glass.
If its your water the spots will be all over the glass.
If its a problem with the frames the spots will be in a line
along the top of the frame or running down the glass.

hi mate my opinion,its possibly due to the top of the window isnt clean,hence spotting or not rinsing enough,ive woreked to 004 with no probs,not telling you your job just my opinion
-
ive been using water straight out my tap 46ppm not had one problem
-

if i had loads of dosh then would go to ionics and buy one of them 0000000000000000 parts per billion just for the fun of it.

I think your 'spot' on. The spots I had were in a drip/line, I had cleaned and rinsed frames very thoroughly but these started (on a few houses) with similarly aged double glazing (although I checked one new window on one house that dried fine). The spotted lines started from the top rubber but I couldn't understand why which is why I asked the question about my tds of 002. Anyway I've changed my resin and start tomorrow 000 so hope I have a better day than Friday, although i dont know how to prevent this type of spotting. Cheers folks for the replies - I'll stop asking divvy questions soon!

Mine is at 028 at the mo. i change at 30 so will do it tommorow.

Mick im not having a dig but are you sure some of those 23 customers didnt cancell due to spotting having such a high tds.

I have run up to mid 20s with no problems in the past. Resin is quite cheap so will change it shortly. 000 makes me feel better
