DI Vessels
« on: April 07, 2020, 01:53:45 pm »
Hi everyone,
just thought i would post a topic about window cleaning.
i have a 400 litre double di system in my van.
when i posted pictures a few months ago some  of you were quite shocked that i had my vessels on board.
this got me thinking i would never run out of water i could fill when i wanted .How do you guys operate and have you not got di in your vans.

.....it’s in your t’s & c’s that you are allowed to use customers water? Residential customers?

Always had twin DI's on board.
I think it's widely accepted that you get better resin life with a slower throughput of water. Resin volume, flow rate and input TDS will all be relative factors. What's doesn't appear to be known is just how much difference to resin economy it makes. I think the difference will be less noticeable the lower the input TDS is.

I have a 350L tank and carry 2x25L barrels (for backpack). I carry a spare DI vessel on board but have never had to use it (in 5 years) - that may change now my son sometimes works with me...

Yeah. We don't have a window cleaning round any more we clean gutters and render mainly, this is why we have it in our T & C's, you wouldn't get away with it just window cleaning.

i dont think i could fill from my customers outside taps on a regular basis...its doesnt sit right with me and comes across as unprofessional IMO......

And not to mention your customers water will be 350ppm like mine so you’d need a RO. 😂
