How does this affect water quality?
Water hardness is a significant factor that affects the quality of pure water produced in a window cleaning system. Hard water contains high levels of minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which can leave streaks and spots on windows after cleaning. These minerals can also build up in the cleaning system over time, reducing its efficiency and lifespan.
Pure water is typically produced in a window cleaning system using reverse osmosis, which removes these minerals. However, the harder the water, the more minerals there are to remove, and the more frequently the system’s filters will need to be replaced. Therefore, in areas with hard water, the cost of maintaining a window cleaning system can be higher.
We highly recommend to our customers living in hard water areas to buy a water softener or fill pump to extend the lifespan of the Reverse Osmosis filter.
Water purity is often measured using a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) meter. TDS is a measure of the combined content of all inorganic and organic substances contained in a liquid. In the context of window cleaning, a lower TDS reading indicates purer water, which will result in cleaner, streak-free windows.
In the UK, water hardness varies significantly by region. For example, areas in the South and East of England tend to have hard water due to the geological makeup of these regions. In contrast, areas in the North and West, such as Scotland and Wales, generally have soft water. Therefore, window cleaning businesses in the South and East may need to invest more in their water purification systems and maintenance to ensure they can produce pure water for window cleaning.
