PPB machines
« on: November 03, 2013, 09:59:04 am »
Ok, as part of a article we are doing for PPB we are now looking for anyone that has bought a PPB system and love it. We have some details of the Zero owners at the moment and looking forward to their input but who else is out there?

We want to make the article as rounded as possible so looking for ppl that are:

1) Thinking of DIY'ing a PPB system
2) Think its a waste of time PPM is served them well
3) Used PPB but cant see the benefits
4) Used PPB and think its helped them

Also, if you have questions about PPB for your TDS tap water area, in fact any question at all and you would like a PPB answer, post it here and we will use the answer to get the question :)

BTW we did a full talk through video on the Zero PPB system - this might drum up some questions or comments you might like to post here.

I imagine PPB water is more soluble and so breaks down dirt 'quicker' ?
Because if its just the case that there is less solid in the water, PPM suffices so why do we need to filter more?

Users claim it helps with infrequent cleans... your thoughts?

Have you tried a demo of such a machine?

Haven't tried one, nor do I feel I need to.

You can only brush and rinse as fast your arms can go, and on maintenance cleans, one pass is all that's needed, so, nor needed for that.

One offs and infrequent cleans, you need to agitate the dirt, which then runs off the glass, leaving 000ppm on the glass. The water doesn't dissolve dirt, it merely is a vehicle to gather the dust etc and take it off the surface by rinsing. PPB water left in the glass will only result in the same finish if rinsed sufficiently.

We have Ionics ppb static system. Everything is automated, we're saving money on filters and resin. It's a great bit of kit. Gives us the edge on infrequent cleans

I prefer a simple system , easy to fix .

I can see advantages to the automation though and there kit is very well made and customer service excellent .

Cant see it giving much if any speed advantage though .

I cannot imagine it helps enough to warrant the cost...
No more better than hot PPM...
Surely there comes a point where you cant physically clean any faster, no matter what you use, so unless you squirt PPB at dirt, and the dirt runs away i personally cant see the point...
Others may disagree though

I wonder how many tradders said that WFP wouldn't work.
Until they tried it.

Personally, I shall await Lee's findings.
As far as I know he has no vested interest so will be impartial.

We don't know, it may make us more money.
I'm up for that.

Won't know till I've tried it.

WFP makes more money than trad.
Fibreglass poles more than ali
Carbon more than fibreglass
Hot water than cold
That's the thing-we don't know till we try...

Surely you can see the differences between your comparisons and a PPB v PPM system though?

I may be wrong, however, look at what I wrote previously. If in fact these systems are PROVEN to save enough time on cleaning, therefore earning you more money, provided you have the work to fill the time saved of course...

Now, let's for arguments sake say it saved you 30 minutes per day, at say what £30 per hour? So that's £15 extra you can earn, provided you have work to do of course, or you get home 30 mins earlier.

Cost of system? £10,000?

So Gould need to do 666.67 days do earn its money, based on 240 working days a year, it's nearly 3 years to make it pay for itself.
