just wonderd...
when i clean the windows at a health club using wfp the water slides down the glass like a bag of snakes... why is this? something on the glass? windows are done monthly by the way...

[Ben Walker]

what like the water weirdly seams to slow down. yeh i think i've had that. think whether the water beads, sheets or 'snakes' down the glass is to do with the type of glass, or a film on the glass. or maybe even  to do with neg/ positive charge between glass and water?!
science buff anyone...?

Looks to me like snakes or ladders. DAi

[macleod]

... yeah the water runs in streams rather than 'spreads' over the whols glass... takes ages to do and leaves littles beads of water on the glass as well...

Try a drop of gg3 or gg4, don't put to much im your water as the tds can rise.

[Morph]

How much GG4 would you put in a 400l tank William?

Thanks Pj

(Novice reading this one with interest)

[macleod]

er... gg3 or gg4

whats that? what does it do?
what causes the bag of snakes in the first place?
ive a 1000ltr ionic pro 5 system - if that halps any?

[williamx]

For 400 litres I would put in 4 mililitres of gg3/4

gg3 gg4?

glass gleam 3 for soft water areas
glass gleam 4 for hard water areas
cleans windows.  No soap suds.  Usual soap free concoction of chemicals you add very small amount to your bucket, away you go.  Many use it and get on well with it.  I found it works nice on leaded windows, buff off with dry cloth shines good.

I thought the idea of wfp was to be chemical free etc etc. So why add chemicals if pure water should clean the windows. 
As im not quite ready to go wfp please help, a bit confused,or is it cos its nearly weekend?

The use of pure water is to make sure that all of the minerals and metals are removed from the water to give a 100% pure clean, but if you use a very very small amount of detergent which does not increase the tds readings of the water, then you can achive a faster and effient clean.

places like heathclubs some time use different glass (heath&saftey reasons ) and this glass alays dries differant

[Mr. S]
