Are you scrubbing and rinsing the frame as well as the glass. Be really mindful of where dirty water sits. Anything that can drip down will . Also if they were first cleans it’s best to scrub and rinse everything then go back and do the glass again when the frames have stoped dripping
Thats what I started doing, cleaning all the frames, then going to do the glass itself. I think I’ll just make a note and  any new customers ill do all the frames with a good rinse, then so all the glass again with a good rinse too.

Do you think I'll not need resin at all if I get a decent RO?

At that TDS your gonna need RO and resin.

Really? I thought a decent RO would get it down to single figures
It will but you'll still need to Polish the rest of the tds down to 0 with Di if you don't use Di it will wear out the RO quickly too..

Thats not true at all mate. NOT using DI will NOT wear out the RO quickly at all. No one ever tells an RO if the water iss getting finished with DI or not so they tend to just do their own thing regardless  ;D
Yes your right, don't know what i was thinking there just edited it  ;D
If your getting 0 with just RO what's your tap tds to start? Lowest I've ever got mine down to is 4 (215 ish to start).

Ours varies a bit between about 140 to 220 TDS. But i think its a bit of a minefield and different for everyone, i suppose its what the remaining stuff in the water actually is as to how efficient an RO is ? (as well as things like flow rate and pressure) .

South facing pvc windows can be a problem when they are oxidising. You need to scrub the frames and give a good rinse and finally clean the glass. I did a big house last week and it hadn't been cleaned for 3 months. the stuff from the pvc frames ended up on the glass so I had to do the fronts again before I left. I was cleaning the insides aswell so I could see what was happening.

sometimes marks do get left and the sun shows the up, it's all about rinsing them down with enough water, you get to know the customers that check your windows forensically, those customers you have to wash down a bit extra, most customers are happy as long as windows look good in general

I've no experience with using an RO but inevitably I need to get one as my tap tds is now 213. It's a big shock coming from 025 tds in my flat. I only changed a 25L resin vessel 2 weeks ago and it's already creeping up and this is despite having another vessel behind the fresh one...

1. I have an outside tap with good water pressure

2. I'm NOT on a water meter

3. I have drainage

Ideally I want a portable 'plug and play' system on wheels.

Do you think I'll not need resin at all if I get a decent RO?

Thanks in advance guys

Will wife let you put a big eff off IBC in the garage? If not you're bollixed.

Our 40/40 RO (with a booster pump) brings the TDS to zero. Never bought resin in over 14 years or so. How much water are you using a day ? I'd be looking at one of them 450 GPD RO units for a sole operator , they are practically plug and play. You'd also need even a small IBC for it to fill into and then probably a transfer pump to fill the van tank from it. Very rough figures : 450 gpd RO £200, IBC £100, Transfer pump and hose £100...booster pump should you need it £100.
