Centralised Cleaning Systems

Water fed pole systems

For professional window cleaners, window cleaning in the past has been a time consuming and often unrewarding task. It was difficult to achieve a decent standard of cleanliness with a streak free finish and could be downright dangerous when using ladders. The Health and Safety Executive advice is that ladders should not be the automatic first choice to access higher windows and where possible alternatives should be considered. Due to new technology the modern window cleaning process has now evolved into a safer, more efficient process.

Water fed pole systems – what are they?

Water fed pole systems use water which has been demineralised and turned into what is known as pure water. Pure water is obtained by passing tap water through filters to remove all the impurities. This pure water is pumped through the pole to a brush head and applied to the window. Because water always wants to return to its impure state, when it is applied to a window it will absorb all the dirt particles on the surface leaving it clean and streak free without the need to rinse or leather off. As the pole can reach the upstairs windows, all of the operation is carried out with the operator at ground level.

Why use water fed pole systems?

The great advantage of water fed pole systems is that windows can be cleaned without the need for ladders, cleaning cloths, chemicals or a need to refill a bucket. A professional window cleaner will benefit from less arduous physical work, safer working conditions and lower insurance costs due to decreased risk of injury. The overwhelming benefit for both the window cleaner and their customer from a water fed pole system is the finished article, with streak free, cleaner windows which stay dirt free for longer.
