Got up this morning and took a reading from my ibc tank and its reading 0.11??

Why....  Now i have the empty the lot.. and start again. when im supposed to be at working earning money 

And on top of that im going to have to use ladders..not that this is a problem but my van is far to tall to be taking them on and off all day   

This problem has disheartened me about wfp and im thinking of selling what i have got and going back to trad

Is that 0.11 or 0.011? 0.011 would have been fine to use, just change filters n resin asap. 0.11 would have been a no no i'd have thought.

[Neil_A]

0.11     This has put meoff wfp  and i havent had the system long enough to need to change the filters and get more sezin... so ive been told

Test your water at each stage.

Out of the tap, test, record.
Out of the RO, test record
Out of the DI, test record
In the tank, test record.

This way you will be able to determine which part of your setup is failing and remedy it.  Don't get dispondent.  I love my WFP after being trad.  I would not swap back...

Dont let it put you off Neil.

Some people have to change the resin after every fill. When was the last time you changed yours?

Keep at it buddy.

Buses break down, machine guns jam........an incident on the line, man flu........A :)ll these things are sent to try us neil. Some things you can make allowances for. Others, well, there's just no forseeing it. Chill out today, diagnose the problem.If it's a faulty system, take it back. Come back tomorrow stronger for it.

If it reading 11 , i would use it as a one off , try it on your car windows or your house and look at the results before testing it on a customers.

11 you should JUST get away with,.

Have you got a small di bottle you could put after the pump ?

I think its very iffy at 11ppm dave, I'm no techy guru but i've used it at around 5-9ppm and it has spotted heavily before. i had the same nightmare myself on Friday. luckily i caught it in time before it rose to badly around 6ppm and i always keep a bag of resin spare at all times. back down to 0ppm this morning so all good again.

I try to keep spares of most things that way you can still get your work done. Sometimes i do get caught out though but try to keep these off days to a minimum nothing more frustrating than not earning money over some small stupid problem

Yes! this is what is making me not like wfp... if something goes wrong you are spend spend spend.. with trad you dont have to do this..

I'm seriously thinking of selling everything to do with wfp i have.. some people get on with it and some dont..

 

Anyone looking for a wfp setup 

[pingu]

Neil...Thats what this it....a small stupid problem...stick with it....you know it makes sense....

Thats why i said test it first, i know i could get away with it.

I would just wfp the tops and trad the bottoms to be double sure.

windows and results vary though so you may get away with it on your own windows and you may not on another set of windows...like i said i'm no tecy guru i'm just talking from my own experiences.

I'm sure i could get away with it for a one off on my own customers but i would feel wrong in using water at that height in ppm and i try to acheive the best results i can with in my power hence keeping spares of everything

Neil,it may even be your tds meter they can be faulty,my first one was faulty kept giving me different readings,so for the sake of about £15 - £20 it is worth a try before you jack it all in

DON'T DO IT. It' just a blip bud. I've had dozens of them. But the encouragement from the guys on here made me realise it's worth stickin at it. I think with you Neil,you're still on the learning curve that we were all once on and if ya anything like me, the only help you got was the help you asked for on here. It's second nature to me now Neil and give it a couple of months, will be for you too. What once was absolute(B*l***s......dont ban me for life mods) is now just another temporary hiccup you know exactly how to deal with. Quitters never win and winners never quit Neil.......Go watch Rocky again  ...........you can rise above this fella....and ya know it

LOL, Great post.. And thanks for trying to make me feel batter about wfp.

I am getting a smaller van Vauxhall Astra

This way i will be able to use ladders as the van is nice and low and easy to get ladders on and off..

I will be getting a flat 250ltr tank to put in the back... So i can get to grips with Purifying the water and learn more about it

I think i ran into wfp and got all the setup to fast 'I dont have a clue about it all , only know how to use it'

If there is anyone out there who is a trad window cleaner thinking of going wfp..  LEARN Everything there is to know about it b4 you go buy it! I made the mistake and it has cost me a lot of money and time

Thanks

Neil

[Pole2pole]
