Title: A Water Fed Freeze?
Post by: Cov_Cleaner on December 23, 2003, 02:20:40 am

Just seen the Snow post which got me wondering: Has anyone using a Water Fed Pole ever experienced water freezing on windows? It's been years since my scrim got frozen after a good shake. De-Icer in the bucket was the solution then! I don't go out too early these days

Has any one got a hot water system for water fed pole work?
Are they any good in this weather or does it freeze on cold glass ?

Dom,

I'm a Guiness loving window cleaner who does'nt want to recieve unsolicited mail from manufacturers selling kit. I just asked a simple question if you don't want to answer it fine. I use a simple trolley system at the moment and wondered weather I was going to have any probs this winter when it gets cold. ???

We use water fed poles never frozen in 12 months and anyway the windows are always warm if your customers have central heating will not be a problem.

Dom Matrix Dictionary

potential for ice formation on the ground = Make the ground slippery

sub zero conditions = Bludy Cold!!

Thermal Shock on seals = Bugga the seals up??

vested interest = Keen

transparency is paramount if we are to provide technical information that is unbiased =  ???Don't bludy ask me  ???

Sorry Dom, could not resist it ;D But just think how shorter and easier reading your posts would be if you spoke in our "common" language ;)

Have I started World War 3?!

Guinness Drinker just reminded me of an old Irish competitor who used to roll out the pub at 11.30pm worse for wear and then go collecting! Seriously, he said it was a good time to catch them in!
