You’ll shoot your eye out.I see...ill just boil it down it, makes no difference. If I wanted it wanted it to evaporate natural, i would do to see how quickly it would just to see how dry my environment is...
Because Derrick, this way it represents exactly what we do with carpeting...
You know you want one.
Does sodium citrate do that, chelate?your forgetting the effect of Flex ICE and it's chelooting agents..

Ok Sam, here’s the difference between regular tap water, and RO... 2 cups measured, left on top of my deep freeze for a week.... just a little disolved solids in regular tap water? Wonder who is getting the carpet cleaner, with 1/5 the amount of chems?.....
Does RO need a rinse agent?
Mike, take a pair of glass pie plates. Use a measured 2 cups (500 ml), take water from whatever source you use to fill your TM. Then go buy a bottle of AquaFina bottled water (filtered by RO), pour one sample into each plate. Let sit for a week. POST YOUR RESULTS HERE, so you all don’t think I wear a tin foil hat.

Soft water does not remove solids just exchanges them.
Larry, of course one would never leave 2 cups of water standing in the same area as a 9” pie plate.... the point was simply to illustrate how much shyte IS in the water we use.... I’m not trying to sell you guys on it, I just find for ME, it makes a big difference. I use less chems (better for me, my clients, and the environment), and I’m finding that my call back rate has gone to zero. I use it because I believe in all the benefits.... but hey, believe what you want....LOL
so how much would two cups of water in a 9" pie pan be equivalent to left on carpet??
... like 2 inches of standing water left on carpet....
better comparison would be to use just enough water in pie pan to evaporate in 12- 24 hours
cause that's all the water that's left
but hey, don't let realty get in the way

Plain tap water, no softener. The same water I used to fill my TM with....my point was, it looks HUGELY dramatic the way you presented it .
(and I'll bet that's how RO system salesmen present it too)
when in reality based on volume left in CCing, it ain't so dramatic
were you using unconditioned municipal or well water before, or water softener condition water before going RO?
thanks

are you an RO gEEk too, Lockhart?

Almost correct. It exchanges it for sodium ions....Using deionized filtration doesn't waste a drop of water for the user. RO is wasteful and softwater takes calcium/magnesium and exchanges it with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda).

How much chemical are you talking about? We usually go through half a hydroforce container (1-gallon) on a good sized job. Are you using a lot more than that?Typical RO systems usually have an exchange rate of 1:1.... the system I have has an 8:1 ratio.... now, if I’m using 1/5 the amount of chems, which is worse, wasting one gallon of water for 8 gallons of product, OR, dumping 4-5 times as much chems (cleaning carpet, tile etc) down the drain? Which is the less of the 2 evils?....
Dammit, where's my soul? It was right here a minute ago.Yeah I think its ok to highlight a point of difference over a competitor, but if you deliberately oversell that point and try to discredit another in the process your a sad person who needs to do some soul searching
#1 for a reason!Fortunately (or not) most people do not live in Petri dishes.
I will believe the hype if I see a difference in re-soiling levels. Many years ago I made a mistake and cleaned with about 5 times the recommended detergent ratio. At the time I was using Dry Slurry (Prochem) and realized the mistake only a few days later.
I was sure that when I returned the next time the carpet will look really bad. It didn't. A few years later the carpet still looked great and stayed very clean.
It seems like well formulated products and good cleaning technique go a long way towards good cleaning results.
