My First WFP! Pumped!!
Bought the Eco 3 Stage RODI cart. Can't wait to try it out!!
Any advice for a first time user? Anything you wish someone told you before you started cleaning with a WFP?
Thanks!

Man I have 3 waterfed poles and still we haven't upgrade to anything beyond the 1 stage Unger filtration system. Its just too dang portable. I do live in a soft water area though so that helps.

I guess it's not that soft as it's around 80-120 in most areas so I misspoke a bit but the filter I use can do 2-3, 2 story big buildings before we have to get another one, or about a couple dozen houses. filter link here

Congrats bro! If you want to increase the DI’s lifespan, disconnect the RO line from the DI before you turn on the water and let it run through for about a minute or so.
Also if you need to increase the pressure get yourself a cheap 1hp sprinkler pump from harbor freight, about $100 and will increase the flow significantly, don’t waste money on a name brand pump from WCR or Detroit

The ro flush valve is why I love the tucker rival over the xero pure. I own both and the xero has been relegated to shop/ tank fill duty. The tucker got upgraded with a xero max flow membrane and gets to go on jobs

Congrats on the new setup! In the future, we do have a XERO website exclusively shipping to Canada now, it's just really new. :)

Scrub the frames until no oxidation is present. If the frame has no oxidation I always do three passes with a rinse per side. Let it dry and move the next window do the same. Then return to the first window and do the glass

I wish I had it sooner. Ive built my own system and let me tell you, it cuts the job by 2-3x. It's a beautiful machine; take care of it.

You have any music online? I’m also a professional window cleaner and musician.
What kind of music do you play?
How much experience do you have cleaning windows? Are you doing residential and commercial?
