Water-fed Pole Window Cleaning

How does Water-fed pole window cleaning work?

Handily, H2o (water) is one of the smallest molecules in nature. That means that if you can make a screen with holes just big enough for an H2o molecule to fit through, nothing else would be able to. Filtering water like this obviously takes special equipment, but that is the basic principle. When Combined with de-ionisation through the use of ion exchange resins you really do get 99.9% pure H2o.

De-ionisation is a process where you put water through a special set of filters that contain Ion exchange resins. This resin swaps simple Ions from itself into the water in exchange for taking unwanted things out. It is only when you combine Ion exchange resins with a reverse osmosis unit do you get water clean enough for water fed pole window cleaning.

The Main Benefit of water-fed pole window cleaning

Better window cleaning results. Pure water is unnatural, and it constantly strives to return to its impure state; hence its capacity to absorb large amounts of dirt from your windows. As such ‘pure water’ becomes a highly effective cleaning solution in itself.

This process involves brushing your windows clean with pure water. Firstly, loosening the dirt, and then secondly the process carries onto rinse and flush away the dirt.

We then leave them wet and allow to dry naturally.

Have faith, as they will dry virtually perfect in most instances. This can be disconcerting, as you may expect the water droplets to leave some marks as they dry, but remember these remaining droplets are now pure, as the dirt has been flushed away, and as they dry, they leave no marks or residues.

Health & Safety

Legislation being brought in from Europe will severely limit the use of ladders as temporary workstations.

The law now states that ladders should only be used when all viable alternatives have been considered, and the water-fed window cleaning systems are now seen as a safer viable alternative within the window cleaning industry.

A surprising number of accidents do happen when using ladders. (HSE Info)

Insurance

The realisation of the safety of window cleaning has led to a dramatic increase in insurance premiums. Further to this, terms and conditions of insurance policies relating to window cleaning are now stating that, the insurance policy is only effective if the method of cleaning the windows abides by current health and safety legislation. If we clean a window using a ladder and there is an accident, the insurance company could well argue their terms and conditions were not being met. This is obviously serious.

Pragmatic Approach

Continuous use of ladders is acceptable if there is no viable alternative. We are taking each building individually and are assessing the risk of using ladders. In most assessments so far there is clearly a reduction of risk and also an overall improvement in the clean, although the improvement in the clean may not show itself for 2-3 cleans. 

Previous traditional window cleaning methods leave a sticky residue that may take a couple of cleans to remove.  If you see slight spotting on your first clean, this is what it is but don’t worry by clean 3 it will be perfectly gleaming. 

Shared Responsibilty

Health and safety fall onto all of us, the operative obviously, but also onto you the customer. By allowing us to proceed with the water-fed window cleaning system you will be more than fulfilling your responsibility to health and safety.

Reduced disturbance and increased privacy

No more ladder holes in your lawn. No more odd faces peering through your upstairs windows. No more embarrassing moments, believe me it does happen.
