I dont own a system so I use the shurflo backpack. its awesome, I dont do big commercial jobs so dont need a system, most residential i do the 4gallon will last enough to do the second story, all first levels i do by hand. some second story has screens and I have to ladder up there to remove it so i just end up doing it traditional.
even with a mobile backpack and the short lengths of hose, I get annoyed of the hose always getting in the way or snagging on some object. one lesson i learned is to be careful not to get the backpack wet because the battery charger outlet is sitting low to the ground and even though it has a cover it can get wet and shortcircuit, cost me about $40 to get a new battery.
I buy my water from the grocery store at .50 cents a gallon, recently the tds on those stations been 09 and at that level I have been noticing spots. I think I might get a pure water system from homedepot so I can create my own 00 tds. I only use wfp maybe 5 gallons a week so usage is low.
Whatâs your tds where you live ?

I have cleaned with 009/010 and had no issues with spotting. From what i have seen posted on the board.

yeah its weird but i have noticed the spots from 009 more often lately, doesnt spot all windows just one or two, i thought that maybe its not the water and some other factor but after doing deep investigation I am left with no other answer.
BostonMike:
I spend more time on the UK forums than the US forums and I never here them talk about all the time they are saving because of water flow when they upgrade from a backpack to an on board system.

Yeah, but Mike they have a very different market in the UK. It is very common for households to get their windows cleaned monthly, there.
The windows probably arenât that dirty each time they are hitting them if itâs every 30 days. They wouldnât need much water.
