That's my name mate! I have accidentally cleaned at
015 with perfect results when I hadn't noticed the resin was shot.
But always 000 ( well most of the time)  ;)
keep it simple

You can usually tell when the tds is creeping up - even my occasional assistant has commented on it and he runs a mortuary so I suppose he does have a scientific background!
As it creeps past 000 it starts to loose it's cutting power and is just cleaning by dissolving rather than consuming.
Still works, can leave streak free finishes as long as it's not in direct sunlight and does the job, it just takes longer, and time v tds is the determining factor in when I change my resin.

Feels like it most of the time!

Especially yesterday when it was ping down all day. Got up a while ago and it's still ping down!

North west wales. When the weather is nice - it's lovely, when it's bad - it's frikkin bad!!


I use 2x di set up. Sometimes when I've messed up I find myself with water above 010.
Worst I've had was 030

Was still cleaning ok but I could tell the difference. Not the same "cut" if you know what I mean.

Some particular windowson same houses still streak rwgardless of water wuality and rinsing. I accept some just need doing blade style, that doesn't bother me.
