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 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!

Wrong. If your getting spotting at 002 it's more down to technique than the water I'm afraid.

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
