I tried it today while working, i found it a bit strange for a start this morning, i could tell when the old RO had finished coming through the hose as the bubbles started :eek:View attachment 3427

it concerned me for a start as it made the water seem gloopy and syrupy, i did think it made the brush glide easier while using (unless that was me imagining it o_O) as for rinsing it did seem a bit strange on the hydrophillic glass with the bubbles but it seemed to run off well, on the hydrophobic glass it rinsed well, all day i was using pencil jets and used my pump controller on the setting i always use it at. i would say that i used about 50 litres less water today than normal.

I went back to check on a few windows at the end of the day and they have all dried fine with no spotting (plus no complaints from anyone as yet) :thumbsup:

i will keep using it for now and see how it goes over time :)

 
ived tried it a few times now, and i havent really noticed any difference. im not knocking the product because like i said its only been a couple of times. most people seem to be getting on with it though because theres been lots of positive comments. dont know if youhave to use it numerous times on the same glass to get it sheeting better because i havent noticed the glass to be any different and ive done my house a couple of times!

I had a thought. If you add Vision to your tank and drive to your first job, it'll mix right? I was thinking that if you didn't move your van much, was it becoming detached from the pure? I noticed that the bubbles came and went at times today.

I have a 400 litre tank and just put 4 squirts in as it was filling on saturday, no mixing or anything, just drove to my first job today and started work:thumbsup: mind you my driving is enough to mix it :rofl:

 
I keep stairing at the little bottle in front of me thinking wtf I paid good money for that :eek:/emoticons/biggrin.png

 
Well my first impression is....

The plunger on the bottle is **** as mine would not work properly. And yes I turned it to the open position before any one asks. After messing about over the kitchen sink to try to get it to work properly it jams up so I also wasted quite a bit too and now will not turn back to the locked position either. So all in all was not a great start :rolleyes:

Has anyone had the same issue?

 
I've just had to force the plunger back up so it now locks. :confused:

Lets just hope now after all that it works in me tank or should I get a big spoon to stur it up /emoticons/biggrin.png

I had the same problem Smurf. I nearly turned it to face me and try squirting it, but I thought better of it /emoticons/biggrin.png. It works ok now.

 
At least I'm not the only one that smells of fecking oranges /emoticons/biggrin.png

 
Here's an example of a window I cleaned today. You can see one side has sheeted and the other has not. Weird! I believe on philic glass it does make rinsing quicker but I'm not convinced that it will make phobic glass sheet like philic. Maybe it will, but I can't see it happening /emoticons/sad.png

I'm sure it will not make much difference as the fines of the glass are pointing the other way up on that bit of phobic glass hence why it don't sheet.

You could actually be onto something there Smurf :thumbsup:

 
It's rolled during the manufacturing process in one direction so must have an effect on how the fines are formed on the surface of the glass.
