14 without complaint...my customers love me.  If it was a new clean/customer I would be much more wary, although 09 seems spot free.....normally change at 07

Any new people reading this do not get into a habit like some on here that are not using pure water to clean yet advertise the fact, pure 000 aim for that and you cant blame the water. (and to you guys that are thinking of having a pop please dont my post is for new people and some of the post on here they will be asking for problems, I still use and always will have 000 water pumping from my vans because I know it is pure  ;)  :P

Dont know why some of you waste your money changing your resin every time it goes to 001, 002 or 003  ??? My TDS is permanently at 004 (for 14 months now) and is totally spot free. I do my own windows 6 weekly and always doube check but can never find a mark.

I swop my resin over when the tds starts to raise over 001 I have 2 so the first the the ro hits hits the same figure before I need to change the 001 so really you in the long run waste more than me if you only have 1 vessal.

Im not wasting a penny, Im saving!
I used to change my resin regularly when it went high but last September when it started to climb I 'experimented' and found it doesnt effect the quality at 004. Therefore I have saved 14 months of resin! So how am I wasing more money???

it depends what that 003ppm or 012ppm is made up of - certain minerals will be more visible than others

thats true
and thats why I've said 010 (max)  and I have absolutely no problems with it. Infact my new 4040 ro produces 005 before di and so if it stays that way I wont  buy new resin when I finally exhaust it, why bother ?
I dont advertise that I use pure water (no breach of trade description there  ;) ) if a windows clean thats good enough by anyones standards , well my customers anyhow.

What's your idea of "pure water"?

000 on our tds meters means no dissolved solid content measured in parts per million (ppm)

Measure in parts per billion & you may have a very different reading!

Anyway, I have twin DI's so will change anywhere from 001 to 005.

My tds reading started to rise around 6 weeks ago. Went up to 1 then 3 and then 5 within 4 weeks. Then last week it went back down to 2 and this week it is 4. Is this normal ???
