THE FUTURE OF WFP
« on: February 26, 2007, 05:28:08 pm »
A system that dries the windows? No more wondering if you've left lines of dribbles down the pane? (WFP on a par with trad)

Do you think this is the future!

Think again because its here now! The Amazing Pro-10 that leaves windows dry, will be on show at the NEC Cleaning Show, if anyone is going feed back would be great  :)

Like I said on (another forum) I'll believe it when I see it.

Mind you, I'd love to be able to believe it ;D

A customer has a karcher machine, well i think its a karcher, and he does a balcony window with this machine, wets the window and sucks of the water?? Have not seen this thing, obviously it doesnt use pure water!!

without sounds arguementative ( unlike me i know  ;) )

but thats the point, WFP left to dry does a good job ( normally  ;))

im of the opinion, if it aint broke, dont try and fix it

but please if any1 can give me a reason for it, then great

The internal window wfp was connected to a Carpet cleaning hot water extraction machine, the wf pole acted as a  vacuum pole and at the top of the pole there was a serated rubber squeegie blade and the excess water was hoovered off through the pole.
 The machine recirculated the water through a number of filters so that the water would continue to be pure.

It was useful for the very high internal windows that were difficult to access, but I don't see the need for it outside.

The saying goes "if you need to ask how much" then you can't afford it and it being a Ionics product, do you need to ask. :o

I don't think it will take off.

one reason it will be expensive to buy.
and it will take you twice as long to do the job as you are washing them you probably need to go over again to suck the water up.

I don't think I would ever buy a WFP system that also dried the window - Surely it would just make each job take longer!

Hi Terry

I think just let the wfp'rs go their own way and say nothing much.

There's a fortune to be earnt from windows done previously by wfp.

I'm not knocking wfp as I use it also sometimes. I'm just a window cleaner who earns a living by being realistic. I'm all for all w/c's to go over to wfp bar me.

When are you next defending your world record?
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Its a good idea but the hair dryer is the appliance which drains most electricity in the shortest amount of time. How many batteries would you go through with this????

Maybe it is a water fed pole with a squeegee on the end ;D back to basics.

The only reason I can see for it would be cosmetic.  I think this product would be hard to sell as too many people are already clued up about WFP.  If it was brought out at the start of WFP then it might have sold.  Mind you, I've been wrong before.

Whatever next, ::) wfp is all about being confident with your work and leaving the windows wet with good results as long as you do your job correct then theres no need to spend thousands on fancy equipment. ;)

I think i'll learn to walk before i run and i would never be able to afford those prices anyway i will wait for jourk to invent the first wfp pole with a hairdryer on the top ;D
