Hi guys, been window cleaning for a few years with a pal but set up on my own now. Like an idiot haven't changed my resin in my di unit. its now reading between 7-10 ppm, after filtration and after going through the old resin, have ordered some resin but wondered if any one knew what is an acceptable level to still be able to clean windows before the water is not pure enough. hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance

I've heard that your water should be fine as long as its below 10 ppm. Mine is currently coming out at 8 and I've had no complaints....yet

[paul joy]

ok thanks, has put my mind at ease

[Spruce]

Surely the easy solution is to clean your own windows and check the results when they dry?

There was another thread just recently about the ppm that cleaners say they clean with, without issue. You must have seen it?

[Nathanael Jones]

I'd clean up to 010 without worries and have on occasion cleaned up to 024 with no issue (resin delivery got lost by courier!) - but it really does depend on what the impurities in your water are...

[slap bash]

Having a ppi that is high and cleaning can deliver good results what make the problems is what the 10 parts are made up off. Its for this reason one can get away with a TDS of 10/20 and another will have spotting at 6/7.

0 ppb obviously

Nah, you gotta go less than 0, no matter the scale!

Pick one of your own windows that gets the sun and see how it leaves them. shouldn't have any problems at that level
though.

The chap has probably packed up cleaning windows by now as posted that back in December 08, 2014

Why let it rise I always change mine when it moves off 000,if you RO your water it costs pennies in resin if your gonna clean windows with anything up to 010 you may as well do away with resin.

No no no, 0 is no use, it needs to be below 0.

Paul.......  with a reading of 007-010ppm now is the time to change it bud............ give the resin vessel a good shake and you will squeeze a bit more life out of the resin........ but really once it gets to around 010 it rises quite rapidly so keep your eye on it.

Soupy, this post is from 2 years back. 

Paul Joy has certainly been an asset to this forum in the past couple of years.

I've cleaned up to 10 and it's been ok but I don't feel comfortable doing it. Probably best get it changed.

[Stoots]

Always laugh when I see this question

The answer is zero tds

Why play a game of let's see what I can get away with to scrimp on a few quid. for a start there is no answer it all depends on what's in your water. 

Personally if I get a complaint I know it's not the water at fault and that saves the worry

[nathankaye]

Practice and experiment on your own windows and check your customers windows once dried.
I know how high i can go because of not being scared into using the all wonderfull 000tds. Its not always the case of whats left in the water, certainly this plays a part but technique plays a huge part because even at 000tds you can still screw it up and do a bad job.
I need to replace my membranes, but i know with a booster my water comes out at 009 and i can and have worked with this, whilst maintaining excellent work n no complaints. That i wont even bother with any resin.

+1
That's me agreeing not me using +1 ppm. That'd be daft.
Why bother filtering water if you don't take everything and more out?
I used 10 ppm, half of one time, and all three customers complained on both jobs.
Now I use -2 ppm 24/7.

Help that hopes.
