6Ppm

[derek]

Would you guys clean with a ppm of 006 ?

My ppm is 34-35 and the di I have at the moment is only bringing it down to 006 ppm?

Personally that would be my max, if the window is filthy not sure how good they would clean up, specially when you rinse. You run out of resin?

No mate its my mates di I'm giving him it back today got a 25lt drum of ro water from dobbies today and that was bloody 007 /emoticons/ohmy.png

You got an RO system, if not you would be better with one.

You got an RO system' date=' if not you would be better with one. [/quote']I would have thought di would have been fine for a ppm of 34

or, I see, thats ur normal ppm, flip me that's good. The resin must have been shot dude if your water was coming out at 006/7ppm. I see why you don't need an RO, unless you had 1000s of homes to clean, then resin would start to cost.

 

[mark m]

6ppm for water would be fine

LOL... Yeah my td is 165 which isn't that bad compared to some down south which can have a reading of 300 or 400 if not higher.
With regards to the tds at 006, some will work with it and even up to 10, personally not for me, 000, just like my bank balance lol.

 

[bluemonkey]

whats size di vessel you got and how long since resin been replaced

 

[harunh]

I use di on 106ppm and it goes down to 0ppm

I use ppm max of 12 /emoticons/smile.png

 

[OoO]

We clean with 6/7ppm RO water. Had no problems before. Prefer 000 though.

Our tap water is 450ppm.

450 Damo, zounds you could make tea with that ! try diluting it with rain water at 000-030

 

[OoO]

450 Damo' date=' zounds you could make tea with that ! try diluting it with rain water at 000-030[/quote']Haha, tbh the filters on the RO last quite some time. Well 3 months lol. But I am liking that idea.

Have worked between 000 & 010ppm with no problems. Made my water yesterday & was coming out between 003 & 007 (2 DIs of which one needs a resin change). Cleaned my windows & perfect.

As you've just started out and you will have many first cleans I would advise to clean at 000ppm.

Havent just started out doug lol

That's why I like my water to be 000, first time cleans, as I have at least 3 a week. More at the moment with all the canvassed work that I have. A lot of first cleans, and the frames on most are filthy.

 

[OoO]

I hate first cleans.

I hope everybody is the same.

First clean of a house takes say an hour and 20. Then next time it takes say 20 mins. Is that kinda normal.

I do all the frames on the house and glass. Then start the house again only doing the frames.

I don't mind them to be honest, at least you know the next visit will take 10 minutes depending on the size of the property. I always charge double for the first clean.
