Will this one work?
You got it. That would do the job. Just dip it into your buffer tank, or grab a glass of water from your water source, dip it in, and a number will appear in a few seconds.

It’s ordered! So where do I buy this blue tank and resin?
Is this a suitable setup? Says it makes 300 gallons. I would think I would use 3-4 times that for this building.

I am at the gym right now. Go ahead and get the product from amazon - then just search for a filter cartridge that’s close to you. Make sure its good for DI, and will fit the 20" length / 4.5" diameter of the big blue. Lastly, DI resin can be purchased from any window cleaning store online. Again, not sure where you are so just whatever is closest to you. You could also get it at most aquarium / reptile stores online as a lot of people use resin for fish tanks.
Yes that would work. What I listed is essentially you building it yourself for a fraction of the cost. You can grab a bag of resin on the side and just test the water periodically as you go. Refill it every 2-3 hours of straight run time.

Something like this, they sell other tanks too. Get some resin too.

Yes that will work great! @SchertzServicesLLC I am in Canada so I wasn’t sure which website you guys have in the states that has something for an affordable price. At that price point don’t worry about building it yourself. I build my own because they cost 500-800$ here. I source the parts and put it together in 30 min and pay 150-200$ per build.
I’ve had that exact one years ago, worked okay. Because of water going thru two 20” cylinders the water pressure wasn’t the greatest. Maybe it’s improved now, that was 7-8 years ago. I have an IPC ro/di cart know and love it.

The basic DI vessel with resin will work fine for your needs. Your not using it all that often. Ro/di carts overall are cheaper operating costs in the long run but if not used often I wouldn’t recommend getting one. Your pole is what is going to cost the most. Anyways…much success!

Yea, I just looked at the carts! Dang they are expensive!
Could you post a parts list as I am in Canada as well and do not want to pay $5 per gal from my local dealer.
Thanks

I make money with mine so it’s worth it but if your not doing much window cleaning then di vessel is the way to go. Once you start getting readings 10 PPM out of the vessel, just replace the resin. I think this would work great for your application.

I get all my stuff from here man. https://www.thewaterguy.ca/index.php?l=search_list&s[title]=Y&s[short_desc]=Y&s[full_desc]=Y&s[sku]=Y&s[match]=all&s[search]=pentek&s[cid]=0
I clean a few dealerships each year with an EZ pure RO-DI setup and waterfed pole.
Easy money however some alucobond panels are fallout stained and dont clean up as well as I would like them to with pure water only.
The dealer specifically emphasizes that no other cleaning methods are to be employed so they get what they get.

Do you think it’s worth it to buy a RoDi system to get the windows a quick wipe down after a wash? The whole house looks great but you can see the white dried up water on all the windows. If so, do you recommend a particular basic water fed pole? I believe the rain will rinse it away anyways but wanted it to look good right when I’m done
Rain will not rinse it away. Yes I would absolutely do that - it’s an easy upsell. The ro / di system is great as it lasts for a super long time. If you are starting window cleaning as an add on service do it right. Get a good pole + 2-3 brush heads so you can tackle the most difficult of jobs with ease.
Tucker 18" alpha brush, unless they make a bigger one now, alucobond doesnt stand a chance!
