Post by: Tiger on October 19, 2004, 02:57:49 pm

Ok im new to window cleaning , havent done any, seems to me from what i can figure that ladders waste alot fo time, so im interested in a waterfed system.

i wanted to ask one you have brushed the windows with the system they will be  wet , do you need to use another attachment or something to dry it off or you just leave it:??

any help appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Hi Tiger,

Yes, believe it or not, you leave the windows wet!

The script on this page sums it up quite succinctly . . . http://www.express-cleaning-supplies.co.uk/oos/reachandwash/526800.html

Hi Tiger ;D

YES they get left wet, we use pure H20 which will dry to a finish, IF you pole the dirt of and rinse to a finish.

What I have done since I got my WFP system is to leave the top and backs to dry naturally but to blade the bottom front windows and leave them dry.

Tiger,

That link was purely to give you a quick background into the method of purifying the water and why it's done.

The residential pole system is just that - the pole is good but uses a limited life de-ionising filter, only to be used occasionally by a house-holder. If you're in a soft-water area, the filter will last a while, if you're in a hard-water area it'll be spent quite quickly.

For commercial work, you'll need a larger "D.I." filter and probably a Reverse Osmosis set-up too. You'll definitely need one for hard-water areas.
