TDS READINGS 😳
« on: September 08, 2014, 12:45:53 pm »
Can I ask why some peeps change there resin when it goes to 001, now that is just wasting money in my opinion. I wait till mine goes to 015 - 020 befor I change it as I still get no sporting at that reading ?

Just want to see what you guys change your resin at, are you throwing money away changining the resin to early !!!!!

I use 2 di bottles. When you get 001 out of the second; the first will be much higher. I then move the second back to position 1 and refill the other bottle replacing it in position 2.

This saves resin. If I were to continue using the resin at 001 out of the second bottle it would actually run through the resin quicker because the resin collects impurities as at purifies, meaning the TDS out of the first actually surpasses the TDS of the tap water going in.

Certain windows I found can be cleaned up to 020 with no problems, then others at 005 I was getting spotting.

000 cleans faster and better i found.

It doesn't really save that much money in letting your resin rise that high as it tends to spike up quite quickly.

000 gives me confidence that the only reason I'm going to get spotting is operator error and not because of my equipment.

010 for me, if I could get my ro water below that I would not even bother with resin.
Also have found that as tds starts to rise after di, remove the vessel and give it a good shake and a roll about and re fit. Tds drops and lasts a bit longer  ;)

If you use two DI vessels it doesn't cost a penny more to change at 001 than it would to change at 050.  So, only a twit wouldn't change it.

Well of course it would cost more !!!  If I don't change my resin for say 18 months as I'll let it go up to 020, I've read on here that someone changes there resin when it hits 001 so obviously over time it's gonna cost more money if they changing it more than I would at 020 !!!!! How long does the resin last if you use 2 bottles and what size bottles ? I use the 25L and my resin will last nearly 2 years !!!!!

I started out by buying a big chunk of an existing round, and part of the deal was to spend a couple of weeks training with the guy i bought the work for. He told me that up to 10ppm was fine, but more than that, you would start getting spots. I stuck with that until fairly recently, when i started seeing spots on customers windows myself (this was using water purified by r/o only, which was taking the water down to about 9 or 10). so i started using di aswell, again!. I figured that for all the resin usage i would have, it was silly to take the chance.

No it wouldn't, if you have two Di vessels.  And I'm bored of explaining why.  I don't see why I should search for my repeated posts about it and cut and paste it in here again.

Are you telling us 030ppm does a good job? Rubbish! And as for blading pure, sheesh.

I don't know why you bother, you obviously think you're superior to just about most people on here. It must be quite painful for you coming on here. Perhaps your wife could dab your brow with a dampened flannel and tuck you in to bed with a warm mug of horlicks.


It's 'copy and paste' btw - not 'cut and paste'.

Right let me educate you,i have been cleaning this way for nearly eighteen months
now and yes 30ppm can give decent results for example on new build properties
i clean its never a problem,i squeegee dry the down stairs as a precaution,its
only a very quick drying as its only water and this time of year its a doddle.

I clean an awful lot of old properties with leaded lights and never have a
problem with these either with 30ppm

Older style semis can be a problem so i generally dry all windows
after cleaning upstairs using a unger pole couple of straight pulls its
done.

Windows with the pretend leaded strips are the worst so i tend to avoid
these properties and only have a few on my round.

Must order a reach around from gardiners,i used just use a optilock for
wfp was easy just to pop brush off and plonk a blade on,but since
ive bought the clx it has slowed me down a little.

Anyways believe what you like,i even include the drying of the glass
in my pricing so even though im a little slower than straight wfp it
balances itself out and with the drying of the glass the customer thinks
they are getting something extra for there money compared to other
splash and dashers in the area.
