I noticed that when you pre-roll the mesh into the channel, it seems to "stay put" which creates a nice flat, evenly tensioned mesh. But when I do this step, the mesh flops right out of the channel. It doesn't stay put. Then when I press in the spline, I get uneven, loose sections. Are you using a mesh that has a "memory" to stay in the channel during the pre-rolling step? Or perhaps your frame channel has "teeth" that grab the mesh?
@WCSkills4 күн бұрын
sometimes you get lucky and the frame groove allows for the mesh to sit still in there. Other times you'll need to hold your hand flat on top of the mesh to keep it still and go slower, checking more frequently to see if it's puckering. A pain I know but it is what it is.

Awesome video, thank you! One note: I found that the new Unger Pole Locking Cone Tip is so snug the wiper blade attachment and microfiber brush would not slide down far enough to engage the locking mechanism. So, I shaved a little of the plastic off on each ridge using a box cutter. After that I could get the brush down far enough (though still plenty snug!). Regarding the Unger wiper blade handle, I had to cut out the rubber handle so as to see the hole and drill it out so the plastic locking mechanism would fit . . . after that, all good. A quality product all around!

Is just a DI as good as those 3+4 stage systems???
@WCSkills7 күн бұрын
Good question that I get asked a lot. DI exists on every multi stage system as the last filter because it is the filter media that can get the water to 100% pure. The RO membranes usually can reduce the TDS (total dissolved solids, minerals) down by 95% on average when new. The purpose of the RO membrane(s) is to act as a prefilter for the DI so the DI last longer. If you are in a low TDS area, then “DI only” makes perfect sense. But if in a high TDS area or needing to use the system daily, then pre filtering the mineral content will allow you save on DI media cost. RO membranes although expensive, can last for a few years. Now, the RO membrane needs to be protected from harm such as chlorine and any other junk (rust, dirt, sludge) floating around in the source water line. So often a carbon filter and sediment filter will be placed before the RO. To wrap up, in a perfect world where we all had lower TDS levels, a DI system would reign supreme.

Really a judgement call. If the frames and area above the window is very dirty or the frames have oxidization, then rinsing the frames is a really good idea, then you can concentrate on the glass.

Does your system have a pressure gauge on it? Ideally you want to see around 60psi going in. Are you on city tap pressure, rural, well?
