DIY Pure Water Cart for Window Cleaning
มุมมอง 33K3 ปีที่แล้ว
After a lot of feedback, I decided to post a walk-around of our DIY pure water cart. This is not a comprehensive how-to, but hopefully with these close-ups, and a little explanation, you'll be on your way to your own build. Parts we used below, not a comprehensive list, quantities will vary based on your needs. But this will get you started. And of course, your results may vary, so you assume y...
Hi, how much do you charge to built one of those for us?
I'm not that handy with these things but I wanna give it a shot. 1600 on windowcleaner is a lot
Question: "I's comming out of the RO's at 1 ppm"... are you running your water through one RO can and then through the second can to get 1 ppm ?
Are you using the built window cleaning system?
>4040s are $70 a piece *checks upload date* *3 years ago* Ah... yeah...
people typically put downstream injectors on the other end of that hose. Also, not softwashing but ok...
I'm sure you're a very knowledgeable person. I'll take any input you have!
You see like a very nice and knowledgeable person! We'll all take all the input you have!
thank you for taking the time to list all items , great video
What’s the thickness of your metal plate?
1/8" maybe? But it's reinforced with 3/4 square tube stock. It was a bit flimsy so I added that later.
God bless you!
Here see what you can do with this: .5 × .125 ÷.1 ÷ 4.5 ÷ .1 = .125 × 100 = 1.38%. So what is it?... Its the Mossberg-Campbell Sodium Hypochlorite dilution Equation for a power washer injector. Where: .5 is the sh draw in 1/10ths of a gallon. .125 is the sh converted from 12.5%. 1 is the time in minutes for the draw test. ...and 4.5 is the total sh and water through the system for 1 minute. Its a decimal fraction divided by a fraction. A number divided by itself is just that number! So on a 1 min test we can simplify and drop the fraction, but say the test is run for 30 seconds then the 1 becomes .5. You need a stopwatch and 1 gallon jug marked up in 10ths (which is 12.8 ounces). Then a container to catch the sh ( which is water for the test) and the water through the injector for 1 min). That is the 4.5 in the example.
How would you add a booster pump to this? I am headed to do work at a marina with low water pressure.
Once you switch to rinsing, how does that work????
Just pull the tube out of the solution!
I always asked myself why can't it work this way,have you ever ran into any difficulty
Nope, other than the tube getting cumbersome, but the same thing happens with an x-jet
How do u know what amount of chemical is been used when downstreming
Go by results mostly. Spot test, adjust with dilution
How do you figure out the right bolts and fittings to use? Are you just using nuts to hold the bolts?
Thanks bro. I’m picking up a unit tomorrow for $400. I’m going to use the parts to build this system
Nice recording, and good showcasing as well. 🪟 😎
Where do u get the cart at
Facebook marketplace
Can you run a 2gmp pressure washer off of this? Or do i need a pump?
Glint, can you put the parts of the filters to where to get them please. Great video and great product
Why is the DI upside down????
That part was assembled in Australia
Starting build now, just order most everything, only doing single ROI and doing a double inlet with sediment &CTO filter. Thanks for the video!!!!
I’m in high tds water area 150-165 Chicago. Will this be sufficient?
Absolutely! High tds is what ro is made for. Much more economic in the long run
Do you mix your S H with water or streight out of bucket to do this.
It's mixed with water.
@@glintwindowcleaning1751 Thanks
Why not get 20" filters? They don't cost a lot more but they last a lot longer? your DI filter is upside down.
2 ressons- Weight savings, and we have pretty clean water around here already. I change di once or twice a year so it's fine. And yes the filter is upside down. All the cool kids are wearing em that way.
this shi is not working, i built this and i get no pressure and barely any water coming out the di housing
So, there are a few potential issues- if you'd like, send me an email glintpros@gmail.com
Please include pictures of your system and what you've done so far to address any issues. Let's get this thing working for you!
after sales service and online consultation you the man@@glintwindowcleaning1751
I’m not a window washer but I’m am a Reverse Osmosis expert. That 2.5”x10” CBC Prefilter is too small. Should be a 4.5”x20”.
no its not😂
def not an expert then
If we want to get really technical, this system shouldn't even work as tap pressure is lower than what the membrane operating range is. But window cleaning is a unique application and product designers easy smarter than us have come up with tried and true systems using this general design long before I did. The filter size is fine as long as it's changed quarterly. Thanks for the input though!
does increasing the waste water flow just increasing the flow coming out of the system? Does it change the tds coming out of the RO membrane? thank you
A few things happen when adjusting waste water. To understand better- more waste water flow=less pure water flow. But it also means less contaminants builds up in the system. That's why most systems built like this will recommend flushing wide open for 20 seconds at the beginning and end of use.
Did you use a pex 3/4 brass 1 inch fitting directly for the DI filter, i didn't see it on your parts list.
Yeah, the parts list isn't comprehensive, some things aren't available, and some things will just be different depending on your setup. The list is just a starting point
yeah i got that i have most of everything already just lack some fittings, One other question. I'm going to start also cleaning solar panels with this setup would this setup be a good starting point in your opinion?@@glintwindowcleaning1751
Can I use a 21 inch ro instead of the 40 8nch?
There is actually a system on WCR that uses 2 21s. It works the same as a single 40 ro system. I wouldn't do a single 21 though, just not enough flow
Thanks for the reply.
I just came across your video. Awesome job! I'm new to all of this and these may be dumb questions. I did have a couple questions. Is there a reason you opted for the smaller 10" x 2.5" pre filter and housing instead of the 10" x 4.5" and then the same for the DI housing you went for the 10" instead of the 20"... Is there a benefit to the smaller sizes or is bigger better? I'm ready to start ordering everything and putting it together. lol
Weight was the biggest factor. There's other factors though. The prefilter definitely doesn't need to be any bigger, it needs changed quarterly regardless, and a carbon filter is not very restrictive so it can be the smaller size. As for di, the only advantage to larger is longer time between di resin changes. Our water TDS is mostly in the low 100s or less around here, so I get excellent di life as it is, no need for the extra weight. But if you live in an area with really high TDS, the bigger di canister might be wise.
The sorbo cobra flip snaps perfect into it as well no clips needed
Hi, Thank you so much for the info. Much appreciate it!! What type of Waterfeed Pole are you using? And where does the soap come out through whenever you’re washing a window? I’m new to this. Not sure how all this will work. I hope this is not a dumb question lol.
U don’t need soap, just pure water
Quite alright. There are a lot of great poles available at WCR, jracenstein, and Detroit sponge. The system uses water only. Do some searching, check out the aforementioned sites, the info is out there
👍🏻
I see the “Garden hose to quick connect with valve” link is expired now or isn’t working… this is the last part I need to order. Any chance you could find me a new link or a direction to look? Thank you means a lot! 🎉
Just go to window cleaning resource and look for garden hose to wfp hose adapters
Do you have a list on the exact quantities that you used on this exact setup?
Do you have any for sale ?
Nope, this is strictly a broad guide to build your own
Thank you for sharing your knowledge kind sir! I have been window cleaning for six years successfully. Thanks to people like you for teaching me along the way.
Is there enough flow to hook this up to a pressure washer to wash a car ?
There are larger systems capable of this, but I wouldn't recommend it for this one. Typically the pressure washing would be a separate stage, and then you would use this for a final rinse
Hey sorry I realise this is 2yeara later but a downstream injector is not as good as an xjet. The downstream injector (at least the one that came with my setup) is a 5:1 set ratio, this cant be adjusted. There is a ball on a spring on the inside that pulls down against the spring as it draws via a vacuum (venturi) when you put water through. The spring and the ball are made of steel (normally) so they can in fact corrode over time. The xjet however has different inserts so you can adjust the ratio of water to chemical on the fly. It can range from 1:1 to 1:256. This allows for stronger mixes if you have stubborn black mould, or ligter mixes if it's just a light freshen up that is required. The xjet also has the fan blade that allows a better spray pattern than your standard nozzle and keeps the spray tighter to allow for better foaming upon spray, whereas the standard 40° tip will spray it in a wide pattern and not really foam it. Of course if you are just starting out as soft washing or even pressure washing. A standard 5:1 venturi is good enough. It means that if you have the standard 12.5% chemical mix then you will only be getting 2.5% at the gun, as opposed to the xjet being able to be anywhere from 6.25%, 4%, 3% to 0.5% if required.
A 5 to 1 ratio with 12.5% chemical gives you 2.08% at the gun
You're not altogether wrong
I will say, I'm using an adjustable soft wash nozzle that does a fantastic job at foaming, fanning, or shooting up a few stories.
I love this thanks for the insight, 1 question. What size is the blue hose that has the 90's and t fittings
Have you done a drawn test?
No, in fact my business focuses on window cleaning strictly now so I might never know 🤷
Great idea 😊👍
Finally an Ettore product that actually works well with the Moerman handle! I made a 6" Combinator.
I see that you're a 90-degree cut guy also.
@@macgyverbryan1377 indeed! The rubber flexes so there's not an interference issue, plus the extra bit makes changing rubber and using the tool all more forgiving
I’m getting really poor pressure through this set up for some reason… my house water pressure is pretty normal but I’m only getting about 1 gallon every 6 minutes through this with the bleeder closed… I built everything exactly as described. I tried removing the pre filter with no change then removed the DI filter with no change. The RO filters are as recommended… not sure where to go from here?
That's a bit odd, let's see how we can help. Shoot me a message on my Facebook business page so I don't miss your replies
Meantime, how much of what hose are you using? How's your TDS incoming and out?
@@glintwindowcleaning1751 TDS is coming in at like 500-700 and out at like 1 or 2 !!! Really working well just not enough pressure. I was running like 150’ of the small flex hose and I since reading more took off the 100 foot section and it’s much better. Is there a way to up the pressure when using that much small flex line?
@@hookedonjesus1716 you can use a booster pump, but the easiest thing is to keep the 8mm hose to just enough to run the pole. We're talking pole length plus twenty feet or so. Then use larger hose to from the machine to that point. I personally love zero-g hose. 100 foot fits in a 5 gallon pale, and it's super durable with a large inner diameter to boot.
@@hookedonjesus1716 with that high of an incoming TDS, you definitely don't want to run the waste valve shut, and flush it wide open for a minute when finished using
Have you tried using something like this connected to a pressure washer? Wonder if it would work
It could be used as a pre filter only, but there really wouldn't be a lot of benefit. For a spot Free rinse, it's best used on its own
Hey any clue what the actual draw from that thing is? for example, using 100% 12.5sh bleach.
It's rated for 20%, but with this setup I believe I get a bit more. Still have to dilute the sh quite a bit
What is the link for this unit, the frame etc,etc
That’s great idea!!
Thanks, it's being put through it's paces today!
Glint way to think out of the pane.
