maybe im too fussy

my understanding which could be wrong is that the higher the tds the more lightly to leave mineral spots on the glass that can stain the glass

we have all been to a job were there is mineral spots that wont come off

I dont understand why you guys are too tight to change the resin or filters? For a small amount of money to get water to 000 tds why risk it?  ???

Nay. 0 tds all the time for me. After a period when the resin starts to get exhausted I allow it to go to 3 then change but never for more than a few weeks. Like others I'm obsessed with 0 but it may be ok at other readings just not willing to take the risk at 5 plus!

anything up to 50 is fine  even then you can double wash at 100.perfect  ;)

Hi Alan, I've had problems with spotting at the BOTTOM of windows in the past at 015 and 017 so I don't go over 10 now.

I wouldn't fancy using 050.

He would use 50 if I let him, but I don't  ;D I test the water, and if it's over 10 he's made to change the resin!

same as ian,
that way i know 100% that if there are any marks i know its not the water!
100% the way i do it.

Does make me laugh why people try to scrimp or what will cost them the most money should when they get a problem.

its not hard to keep it at 000

Why risk to save such a small amount of money, when you risk a lot more ?>

I get around 004 from my RO so I think it a waste of money for me to spend £80 on a bag of resin and it also saves faffing about when time comes to change resin.

A bag of resin to take it from 4 down too 0 would last ages and ages!

+ the fact if you had a van mounted vessel you could fill up at customers houses. Saving time and money.

Yes but it still cost £80 to buy and unless you use the whole bag in one go, it means you have to store the remainder and keep it airtight and moisture free so it does not go off. Plus and cannot be bothered to faff about with resin -changing and disposing of- when I do not need to.
