Depends on your tap water.

Anything over 100 I'd get RO it's cheaper in the long run.

I have 50 - 60 tap water and I use RO.

I do use alot of water though.

if you blade top windows why are you using wfp :-\

I would be checking the tds in each barrel, I would also get another tds hand held to check the first is not shot (it does happen)

I would then look it the filter from water to pump is there any change resin could be getting to the glass ?

if tyou check everything and it is ok, then it is either the frames are pigs that will never come good (dont clean the frame glass only) or it is user error.

I would hazard a guess at user error on milky frames. Please dont bite my head off jsut trying to help  ;D

p.s what is tds out of tap ? if it is over 4o I would be getting an RO

The water does stay on the windows - it could take all afternoon to dry if the weather is cold.

Ian, white spirit? Are you mad?

on first cleans i often find its quicker to squeegee after using the pole , that way you know the window is good and its quicker than going round twice which alot of the guys on here seem to do , also you don,t have to spend all day rinsing , all these posts with rinse and rinse again are ridiculous , simply blade it and you know its ok , i only do this on first cleans and the odd troublesome window , apart from that its splash and dash for me regards alan

what you mean soap them. I have never heard of that for wfp.
on first cleans soaping up with tfr will make all the diffrance for future cleans .

Oh please!!!.....

First cleans just need extra scrubbing and rinsing maybe with a higher flow rate.

I cant believe you squeegee first cleans.

This isn't true in all cases, I've started using wfp just a few weeks ago and I've only had a couple of minor issues with any marking. Maybe I'm lucky or maybe I took in all the advice that I could about scrubbing well and rinsing lots, because in most cases it is detergent residue that causes the spoting.
