Why Multi-Stage RO/DI Systems Are a Game Changer
In the world of professional window cleaning, it’s all about the details! Getting your hands on the right equipment can elevate your game in a way that sets you apart from the competition. But what is the right equipment? Generally speaking, the right equipment will give you options. While traditional window cleaning is tried and true, there’s a time and place for it. Whether it’s a huge job with limited accessibility or simply by client request, a multi-stage RO/DI System may be required to get things done. Multi-stage RO/DI systems give you all of the joy that comes with pure water cleaning plus the confidence of knowing your system can handle water sources with a higher TDS value. Whether you’re new to the world of pure water systems or looking to upgrade from a single-stage system like a simple DI tank; if you're aiming for sparkling, streak-free windows, you're in the right place. Multi-stage RO/DI Systems are the secret weapon for professional window cleaners who want to increase their efficiency and expand their scope of service. We’ll dive deeper into how a Multi-Stage RO/DI System can help you out, and how to maintain one for longevity and the best results.
What is a Multi-Stage RO/DI System?
So you want water so pure that it leaves no spots or streaks on your windows? That's exactly what a Multi-Stage RO/DI (Reverse Osmosis/Deionization) System does! This high-tech purification system uses at least two stages of filtration to remove impurities from tap water: a reverse osmosis membrane and then deionization resin. Compared to single-stage pure water systems, multi-stage RO/DI systems can purify water with higher levels of contaminants so the quality of your water source won’t hold you back. Additionally, the burden of filtration is shared between your filters so they will last significantly longer. A multi-stage RO/DI system typically begins with a pre-filter made of charcoal that tackles larger particles and chlorine. Chlorine is especially harmful to your reverse osmosis membrane so a pre-filter is essential to keeping your system running smoother and longer. After the pre-filter, is the workhorse of the bunch, the reverse osmosis membrane. This eliminates the majority of the dissolved solids before it’s sent to the deionization tank which polishes off the remaining contaminants. The result? 0 TDS water which ensures a flawless finish on every window. Some systems feature multiple RO and DI filters and some are even equipped with an electric pump to increase the rate and volume of your flow. With a hefty system such as the XERO Pure MAX Power, you can still achieve great water pressure at extreme heights and run multiple poles at a time!
Should I Get a Multi-Stage RO/DI System?
Absolutely, yes! If you're like most window cleaners, you have probably begun your journey by mastering the craft of traditional window cleaning. In your quest for clean windows, you’ll eventually find there are limitations to traditional window cleaning and you may have to expand your horizon to continuously grow. Equipment that gives you options on what you do and how you do it can be a serious game-changer! The advantages that come with multi-stage RO/DI systems are too hard to ignore. You’ll find yourself with increased accessibility and efficiency all with absolutely zero residue and zero chemical cleaners. In comparison to single-stage systems, these multi-stage RO/DI systems are capable of producing a larger volume of purified water and can handle higher TDS water sources so nothing can stop you from delivering the highest quality service. It's a smart investment that quickly pays for itself by creating happy customers and more business opportunities. If you’re thinking about dabbling in the world of pure water cleaning, check out the XERO Pure Plus. It’s a wonderful starter unit to consider for its balance of performance and affordability. The last thing you need is to get caught off guard by a challenging job, so make sure you have a multi-stage RO/DI system within your arsenal.
Why is Having a Pure Water System Important for Window Cleaning?
Window cleaning can be very difficult, sometimes even dangerous, so it’s important to take advantage of anything that will make your job easier, quicker, and safer. With this in mind, take a second to think about all the drawbacks of using a ladder or a pole for traditional window cleaning. Rather than risking your life at leg-shaking heights or finicking with a squeegee atop a long pole, you could simply scrub the glass from the safety of the ground and that’s it! Maybe there’s no room for a ladder or your poles are bowing too much to use a squeegee. Either way, a multi-stage RO/DI pure water system is a priceless resource to have when traditional window cleaning just won’t cut it. Having pure water equipment means you can take on bigger jobs and finally get those awkwardly placed windows previously inaccessible by traditional cleaning methods. Multi-stage RO/DI systems are also eco-friendly since they eliminate the need for detergents and soaps. You’ll even find windows stay clean longer from the residue-free finish a pure water system provides. Your nature-loving clients will greatly appreciate this and it’s a great selling point to keep in mind! Lastly, and maybe the most underrated benefit of multi-stage RO/DI systems, is the ease at which you can clean window frames. Forget about hours of wiping, lugging around dirty rags, and never-ending laundry. A multistage RO/DI pure water system is an undeniably valuable resource to have as a professional that will open many doors of opportunity.
How Often Should I Replace the Filters on an RO/DI System?
Keeping your Multi Stage RO/DI System in tip-top shape requires regular maintenance. As a rule of thumb, replace pre-filters at least every 6 months, RO membranes every 2-3 years, and DI resin whenever you notice a rise in TDS values. When it comes to pre-filters, feel free to replace them sooner rather than later as they are the RO membrane's first line of defense against chlorine. At the end of the day, the need to change filters will primarily be determined by how much you use your system. Keep an eye on your TDS values as well as output volume so you can address issues before they set you back. Fortunately, all of the replacement filters needed to maintain your multi-stage RO/DI system are available right here at WCR! Regular filter changes ensure your system runs smoothly and consistently provides the pure water you need for impeccable window cleaning results.
What's the Best Way to Maintain Your Multi-Stage System?
Maintaining your Multi Stage RO/DI System is a breeze with a few simple steps. Begin by flushing your system before and after use. A routine flush consists of running water through your system while the rejection valve on your RO membrane is completely open for 1-5 minutes. This removes the minerals that have been rejected by the RO membrane so they don’t build up and restrict flow. You can even do this monthly if your system is not in use to prevent bacterial and fungal growth within the filters. Aside from routine flushing, it’s important to monitor filter performance by tracking how long it has been in use as well as each filter's TDS output. If you notice your RO membrane’s TDS output is increasing, try flushing it for 1-2 hours before throwing in a new one. If RO performance is on par but you’re still seeing elevated TDS levels out of your DI tank, it’s time to replace those resin beads. When it comes to pre-filters, “better safe than sorry” is the mantra. Pre-filters are typically pretty affordable and serve a pivotal role in extending the life of your more expensive RO membrane. Lastly, store your system in a cool place away from the sun to prevent plastic and rubber components from deteriorating. If you live in colder climates where it freezes, avoid storage areas that get below 32 degrees Fahrenheit and completely drain your system of water before storage just to be safe. With these easy maintenance tips, your multi-stage RO/DI system will stay in prime condition.
