Water Fed Pole Systems

Many systems exist, but the fundamental principle is that pure water is pumped up through a pole to a brush. We have poles that reach up to 18m (approximately 60 feet or 5 to 6 floors high). The operator then cleans the window using the brush. No ladders, hydraulic platforms or other access equipment are required not only greatly reducing the cost to our clients, but also simplifying Health and Safety Risk Assessments, as the operators feet never leave the floor.

Around London, most areas have ‘hard’ water containing high levels of dissolved solids. These solids are responsible for the hard water marks (lime scale) that you get when water is left to evaporate. The secret of the pole system is that the water used is ‘pure’.

By heavily filtering and de-ionising the water, in excess of 99% of the total dissolved solids can be removed. In doing so, the pure water produced readily dissolves other solids (the dirt on your windows) allowing the windows to be cleaned without detergent. The window is left wet, but once the water has evaporated, it leaves the glass clean and spot free.
