Additives to the tank

[jimmyboots]

Water sheeting better would be nice, seem to have a lot of customers with awkward glass that doesn't like to sheet.

I got some windows where the water looks like mercury hitting the glass

could be...they are keeping very quiet on what it is at the moment....who knows...but...anything which helps ..especially with that horrible glass....got to be worth a try....come on where do i buy it....?
its probably pure they are putting in their pure....hey i watched del boy...

love that cnc,ok what is it?its a product developed by window cleaners for window cleaners,not an off the shelf item from the pound shops but a purpose built product from the ground up-at the moment we have 16 different products each offering different "experiences",tench posted some pictures of his work,yes it shines-bit of a by product that one,pure water as a cleaner(in fact its a solvent in the pure state)cleans ok but add a few things to it like a cleaning agent and things go much more smoothly and you can work a whole lot quicker earning you more per day

Ok so why the bloody hell don't we know what it is then /emoticons/biggrin.png

If not ready to be spoke about properly and criticism and praise not willing to be heard without it taken the wrong way then shouldn't have been mentioned in the first place. How about a free 5ml tester so we can test it for ourselves because if it is as has been said I'm sure folks will be back for more?

Interesting note about additives/cleaning chems I was told only put pure water through a wfp pump as if you put any type of chems through it would knacker it. Unless that is you use a chemical resistent pump then it will not matter then I suppose.

some of us use a dispencer after the pump if ur werryed, but ive had no issue with my pump an ive bin testing lots of different mix's for some time now they say that on the pump to cover them selfs thats all

I never thought about that Smurf ....Although, I have put virosol mixed in the water through my trolley a few times when doing Gutters etc. But then it gets cleared with pure water soon after .

 

[tench0771]

another thing to point out is the dose is very small so watered down when added to the tank or drums

 

[Smurf]

My understanding is unless you use a chemical pump whatever the mix is it will knacker it after a while as basic water fed pole pumps are not chemical resistant.

Its to do with seals, gaskets and diaphrams, that is why there are different coolant for cars etc, chemicals of any kind will slowly wear on seals, gaskets, diaphrams etc if they aren't designed with chemicals in mind.

Like I said before thats why I use other methods to apply my top secret cleaning mix if/when required /emoticons/biggrin.png

I will sell you some if you like as it's only £20 per 250ml per bottle :laugh:

 

[Smurf]

So what are you putting through it?

Well after 2 years my pumps are fine and dandy

I'm being told that 5ml of this chemical mixed with 500L of pure is going to make the water sheet. It doesn't add up. Even if I put 5ml of hydrochloric acid in the tank it wouldn't have much of an affect, would it?

I don't know whether it's just me but I don't find hydrophobic glass a problem at all. I just rinse exactly the same as I would hydrophillic glass and I've never had any problems at all.

In fact, I find that the fact the glass repels the water makes it less likely to spot.

Of course that's just my opinion and no doubt others will disagree.

 

[Smurf]

I dont really have a problem either as I tend to use fan jets and a high flow rate.

Not to mention my secret mix when required and hot water on filthy cleans

Its not so much of a problem, as taking a bit longer on the rinse. Its great when the water just blankets over the glass.

That's 1 part to 100,000 parts water or 10 ppm.

Pretty potent if that truly has an effect.

I find that I feel the glass is not getting cleaned as well on phobic glass and tend to scub it longer than philic glass. Anyone else feel like this? It's just my way of thinking and I'm totally wrong /emoticons/biggrin.png
