If you use it at 12ppm you cannot gaurantee perfect results.

Thats interesting, thats what my RO puts out before resin. If it works that high cool! I don't need resin anymore!!! Seriously have you seen what the quality is like at 20ppm?

Not perfect. There were a few tiny spots but nothing that would draw any remarks. Personally if it gets above 5 I would change it, I just got sidetracked with checking the TDS. Now it is changed results have been perfect even with my newbie cleaner. He cant get over how well it works.

I've recently taken on 2 new customers who only wanted a window cleaner because the upstairs windows were filthy.

The downstairs windows were Ok.

when I asked them who had been doing the downstairs windows - they both said that they did them themselves with a HOSEPIPE.

And they looked OK!

The TDS of the tapwater was over 100 ppm.   ???

I should have asked them if it had rained since they last did them - that could have accounted for them being so clean.

Yup, few little spots.. Nothing bad unless your looking for them - which i was.

But the insides are generally dirtier anyway, so i doubt anyone notices.

ive used 14 on first cleans and has been surprisingly very good. i would try to keep it under 10 if possible, i was DI only when i first started, tap tds 98-104,  i have an RO now and it comes out before DI at 1ppm. i seriously thought about not using the DI. but for what work the resin is doing i might as well have 000
