I would say it's the salt if it's on the beach.

I'm not a horticulturist but as Monty would say, you,ve got Box Blight mate and it will all have to be removed and burned. See how the gardener likes that. :1f609:

Well.. he’s gotta blame someone for cutting it back to hard at the wrong time, advise him to take a horticultural course before picking up a stihl hedge trimmer in future, or.. stick to putting stripes in the lawn ?

The customer asked if I use cems in my water as that's what's killing the bushes I said no it's just pure water and maby the Gardner should stick to his own trade as he nos fuk all about my trade [emoji23]

He might have to get the hedge police involved.

Well just remember pure water is on the acidic side of the ph scale, it produces carbonic acid iiirc once passed through the resin it’s not an agressive acid but none the less it’s what helps the cleaning process of pure water and it is an acid. 

I was always led to believe pure water was exactly Ph 7 (Neutral) and that's the constant we go by?

I had a customer asking me to stop cleaning the windows above her flat roof because she thought the chemicals in my water had seeped and burnt through. I soon put her mind at rest when I offered to drink a glass of it.
Also when I was tradding I had a painter telling a customer that my squeegee was causing the paint to come off a couple of weeks after he had painted it. (I think he ran short of paint and watered it down) .I binned that one.

Many trades are happy to blame the Window Cleaner.

There again fuel & 2 stroke oil would have the same effect, I reckon he refuelled the machine, crossed threaded the fuel cap & hedged it with drips of fuel spotting there way across it, I’d take some cuttings & have em analysed down at the lab

painters are all using water base paint now and it's ****. Oil base paint is getting phased out but is always the best especially for outside.

It is, but air has carbon dioxide in it, and the pure 000 TDS water is so pure that it takes on some of the acidity of the air.  Basically air alters the PH of pure water.

Yep that’s it mate, exactly what he said it’s ph7 as it passes through your di vessel and hose but as soon as it comes out the end of your jets it’s sucking in as much co2 as it can which in turn creates the carbonic acid. 

I see, but that hedge damage is Box Blight which happens occasionally and we don't know why. Some say it's to do with lay lines which is hard to believe.
