TAPs WFP transition thread.

Upto 10ppm is fine, cleaned with 5 this week all perfect, even did my own, not a spot in sight, its all about the rinse /emoticons/smile.png

its nowt to do with the rinse, its to do with the composition of your water.

doesnt matter how much you rinse you will still leave water droplets behind on the glass, depending what minerals are in the water will depend on if you get spots. On mans 10 tds and anothers can vary, thats why its better to play it safe and just use 0.

So just because you got away with it doesnt mean you will forever

Its fine mate to 10 trust me, never had a single issue since day 1, yes 0 is best but you can still clean to a good standard a little over that.

Basically theres no need to rush to change your resin right away when you get a reading over 0 you can still clean with it.

I generally change out now at 5 ish as it tends to creep up alot once it hits 5. But yeh for me no problemo to 10 and I am particular on my standards.

Gonna insulate it next week

Just wanted it built

Have moved it now and screwed it to the fence post and moved water butts as i will be putting a couple more with them

Well mine is reading 6 and I'm happy to use that

Means no di for me unless they change my water pressure

I will still get a small di but in no rush to get it

I know the feeling mate. Ots a gradual process. The only thing I need to to do (apart from the van mount) is sort out a proper cover for the ibc. I have a little idea which might work. Then after that I'm going to need to get things ready for winter as its all a bit exposed and ready to freeze as it is.

It's been a pain for me to make as i wanted something that won't look out of place in my garden

Had just grass for years as my son was growing up..now it is time to have it all looking nice

Sort of doing the same myself, but with a bottle of broadside on the go.:thumbsup:

Have you tried that guinness? ?

Very nice and 6%

no i wont trust you trev. because youre missing the point, ive had issues with less than 10.

Its not about the TDS its what minerals that makes up the TDS is the problem.

You might have got away with more than 0, but thats not to say more than 0 is fine it just means there was nothing in your water to leave spots, it doesnt mean someone elses water thats also 10 will dry spot free as well.

You cant say 10 is fine, because it has the potential not to be depending on whats in your water and whats in your water can change.

If your happy that your water is fine at 10 then thats great for YOU, but its bad advice to say more than 0 is fine, because its simply not true.

It is true

No its not daveyboy, it's untrue and you arguing otherwise won't change the facts that any water that contains disolved solids can cause spotting. It's true to say that the batch of water you used didn't cause spotting I get that but it's not true to generalise and say anything other than pure won't leave marks because it's just factually incorrect. Even at zero ppm the water still has disolved solids and the more the tds the greater the risk so it's just common sense to use the purest water you can.

And @peter rogers do you just go around disliking everyones posts? What have you got against this post? Let me guess youve been going around cleaning with a higher tds and got away with it. If you dislike something say why ffs.

Sorry guys I'm not one to be confrontational on the forum but this time you're talking :turd:

Straight out of Bedfordshire. Crazy mofo name Damo. Now that's off my chest.

Adam you're correct in a sense but you need to know the source of the water.

Two identical 450 GPD RO's with an input of 450 ppm tap vs 200 ppm both producing at 10PPM will both take out the same impurtiers.

Where you're correct is if you have two different RO's one with different brand filters/pressure,age of filters etc, quality of storage tanks etc. That will affect the TDS "state".

7ppm vs 7ppm one could leave spotting. One might not.

The filters will do their job regardless of PPM in and out.

I do know a little on the subject as we was using PPB in 2010 and was accurately measuring it.

Guys need to remember what PPM stands for. Even at ZERO there is one miligram of impurtiers per 1000L of water. This is why PPB was pushed into window cleaning.

But it doesn't really work as such lol.

No @adamangler I disliked it cause that's my opinion and. @Trev81 was just saying what he has experienced

Ok @adamangler :thumbsup:

Thats the only point i was making, one mans 10ppm and another mans can have a different composition so one might spot or it might not hence why its safer to use the purest you can and not assume theres a certain level of TDS thats safe to use.

Like you say even 0PPM or indeed 0PPB isnt 100% pure, its just the purest we can produce.

cheers for clarifying.

Can't wait till tomorrow

First day using my own pure not bought stuff which i have a suspicion was higher tds anyway as measured some i bought the other day and was reading 4-5 ppm

He closed the place the other week when he realised there was an issue and the water was reading 27ppm

He only pops there occasionally like once a week or less as it is set up as self service so how long we had been working (with no complaints) with stupidly high tds i don't know

You were perhaps luckily using high TDS of the right 'composition' and got away with it /emoticons/biggrin.png

I obviously only have "nice" impurities round here
