Think I might do away with my RO and DI then. It comes out of my tap at 029 :)

I used to worry about 000 too, we've been cleaning with 009-012 for about 6 months without a problem (apart from having no customers left  ;D )

000 for me but that's me

000 is just a convenient benchmark to measure the quality of water that's been purified.  There is no rule that says 0 parts per million is the correct stuff to use for cleaning windows, it could be 50 parts per mill, or 1 part per billion, only experiment will establish what is suitable so you need to try it and see what works for you.  We use up to 15 ppm and then monitor results a bit more carefully - if there seems to be an increased incident of spots etc, we take action.

i also will work up to around 015 tds then i change my resin.

got an ionics catalogue through the post the other day about purifying PARTS PER BILLION!! ??? ??? ???

what really is the point if the water we use does the job?? ??? ???

very expensive as we ve all come to expect from ionics.does it really clean better and faster?cant imagine i could go any faster than i do already!in fact if you blink youll miss me when im out working im that fast!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
price higher/work harder!

ive been using 42ppm straight my garden tap since end of november
dont ask me why...just thought i would try it.i havent had one complaint

70% of houses its been no problem on the other 30% ive just
quickly stuck a squeegee on a trad pole and done a basic drying off.

i would imagine by the lighter nights it might not be so straightforward
but for now works okay
