Pole water drying to quick

Anyone having problems in this weather water drying quick and spotting 

I used to have this problem when I had my flow rate set too low.  I haven’t had a problem with it since using a high flow rate though.

I second that. Have higher flow rate

To my thinking it shouldn't make the slightest bit of difference what speed the water dries, if its clean then there is nothing to spot.

I will sometimes leave a top frame out if its clean and has been baking in the sun all day as some of the upvc is porous and may cause issues.

If its downstairs I will just wipe as I'm 6 2" and always carry a cloth.

For me its about getting the best results within the least time, if it means leaving out a top frame here and there to reduce spotting then thats what I'll do. I think its the lesser of two evils.

You will find a south facing glass baking hot all day in this weather. You would need to cool it down or use higher flow rate I imagine.

We use hot water all year round it’s very hot at the moment evan on the lowest setting but no issues with spotting just rinse well shouldn’t make any difference to normal

Ha ha, having problems with heat on the NE coast. What's the world coming to, unless it's an age thing ?

I always rinse methodically left to right from top to bottom and haven't had any issues at all I rinse across the top of glass twice before moving the brush downwards , if you are doing the mark of zorro Z then potentially you may have issues spotting is down to dirt and not rinsing thoroughly, admittedly i am a bit o.c.d

This is bang on. As long as you have rinsed all the crud off properly and your water is 000 ppm drying time is of no relevance. 

I would expect you to be using more water to rinse at present as in this heat heat the evaporation rate on hot glass can be fierce

Actually that’s really interesting. I read on one of the American forums that warm/hot water on hot glass doesn’t evaporate as quickly.

Yes and I am using 2l min going left to right top to bottom inch by inch water 000
Not sure what it is some windows fine others spotting .

Before i took up wfp, person that encouaged me to start wfp, said you do have to turn up the flow or use more water

Got to agree with others who already said. If your water is  pure drying time is no issue. Long as you rinsing probably. I have my flow on fairly high always as faster and better rince. I turned it up a bit more recently as you can realy see the dust on the glass. Especially top openers. This dust is hot and dry so will absorb a lot of water.
