I cleaned with 031ppm a couple of weeks ago without knowing. I got 2 complaints. 1 from a very good customer who has never complained before and 1 from a first clean that day.

I personally won't clean above 010ppm anymore.

Daz, I'd borrow you some resin if I had any but I'm also needing to order some more next week. :(

Careful, because the only rhyming slang I know involving the word Gary, is to "take it up the Gary".  ;D

Dazmondo ive been cleaning with tap water in the 30ppm for over twelve
months now.

This is what I find..New estate properties are no problem especially
where the water sheets and dries evenly,older type semis with hydrophobic
glass can be a problem and if it is bucketing down with rain and there
isn't a tornado blowing through its never a problem.

If in doubt though get the squeegee out ;D

Cant remember which chappie it was but he came out with a idea that
results with cleaning with 30+ tds could very well depend on what the
tds in your water is made up of.

anyways these days im cleaning with lots of lovely rainwater...so cleaning
with tap is DISGRACEFUL ;D

I would just take the day off.

its not just today.its tomorrow and monday too as i reckon it wont get delivered til monday afternoon.im already a day behind even if i work all day today and tomorrow.

i think ill just risk it,check work when dried and blade a few more hydrophobic ground floor windows.

i even did a filthy first clean(ive not cleaned it for 3 years!) yesterday and the water must of been high tds.they dried perfect when i checked them an hour later.

a lot of heavy rain overnight last night and still a bit here this morning.its gonna brighten up in a few hours though. ;)

Just drive to a shop and buy some mate. Problem solved. Last time I cleaned with 33 I got 4 complaints in one day. So now like deegee, anything above 10-15 and I get too nervous

Im not sure they do. Drive up to Corwoods Daz, it's only 15 minutes from you. They stock it don't they?

could you not have connected your di up after the tank and pump ? could have saved you time.
gonna put an inline tds meter after my di in van on my next system (easy to check daily )
