Water Fed Pole Window Cleaning, The Technology Explained.
In the UK and other Countries around the globe more and more window cleaning companies are turning to reach and wash methods to wash windows at heights considered too dangerous to be cleaned by tradditional ladder access.
Many window cleaners understanding of health and safety law is is actually incorrect, it is still legal to use ladders in the UK as long as the work is for short periods of time and no other means of access is available.
It would be wrong to believe that ladder use is illegal but many window cleaners still misunderstand the law in the UK.
But what are the benefits of pure water and the reach and wash sytem and can I be sure that it works?
H2O, Aqua or Water is constructed from one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms existing as two ions charged in water.
Reverse osmosis and the water purification process will remove all other particle and mineral deposits from the water, leaving no white spots behind on the glass surface as it evaporates will not be the only benefit of using this system though.
A little known fact about pure water is that it actually possesses a remarkably solvent capability, resulting in the capacity of these charged ions to bond with other ions in the same way.
Without the science lesson, pure water eats and absorbs dirt on contact and after all dirt is removed the final rinse with pure water will dry leaving perfectly clean smear free glass.
Water fed poles will reach to heights of over 60 feet and after practice an experienced window cleaner can acheive perfect results minus the potential risks of ladder use.
A leading window cleaning company in London use a rain repellent product called Hydrostorm that is added to the pure water supply leaving a thin layer of marine polymer on the glass after the water has evaporated and dried. This rain repellent surface or hydrophobic treatment keeps glass surfaces clean for up to four times as long.
