Best microsplitter?
« on: April 16, 2013, 09:59:20 pm »
Seems a lot of liquid microsplitters around now - any one tried a few from different places? are they all pretty much on par?

Pure Clean - no diluents. Powder, but mixes OK.

I find pure clean ok but dosen't touch HD plus HD has a nice floral smell, If you boost pure clean with an oxidiser it becomes SPM or almost ! cos basically thats all SPM is

Has to a prochem or chemspec supplier in Belfast somewhere ?  or  Hitec cleaning in enniskillen would have Alltec ' detergent free prespray '

I have yet to read a convincing argument for using ' microsplitter 'on its own insted of more complex formulations that also contain phosphates though.

yes i have   :)

Im not say it doesn't work  ,  im saying I'd need a convincing argument why i should use it in preference to a more complex product .
'Microsplitter' is a marketing term for phosphate on its own  ...  a more complex product might have phosphate + surfactant + solvent + builder+ inhibitor +perfume  etc .

Efficiency -  a more complex product containing the same ingredient is if anything as or more efficient .

Economy -  Liquid microsplitter -( a big can of water with a scoop of phosphate )  poor value .  Powder microsplitter   -  hardly more economical  than a more complex  powder formula that contains phosphate and other ingredients .

Eco friendly -   'Microsplitter'  causes eutrophication  ...  when u pour the dirty water down the drain hole your  killing the fishys .   :'(

Ive moved to SPM in the last few months.
Nearly finished a £55-00 tub, and it will probably have taken about £8,000-00 worth of work from it.

All customers, and me delighted with the amount of dirt it brings out, so what does it matter what its made of?
It does the job big time.

Understand that microsplitters aren't eco friendly. They are detergent free.

If you want eco friendly then you should be using products like Mpower, Nemesis, DFC105 etc.
