Water Fed Poles

That's a great practical question. The amount of water a water fed pole system uses can vary, but it's generally very efficient. Most systems are designed to use a flow rate of between 2 to 5 litres per minute. The exact amount depends on the size of the jets in your brush, the water pressure, and the specific cleaning task. For example, a heavy initial rinse on a very dirty window might use a bit more water than a final, delicate rinse.

The key to efficiency isn't just the pole itself, but the entire pure water cleaning process. Because you are using ultra-pure water that dries without leaving spots, you don't need to waste water with excessive rinsing trying to chase away streaks. You scrub, give a final rinse, and you're done. This workflow is far more water-wise than using a standard garden hose and nozzle. To get this pure water, you'll need a top-quality filter system.

Switching to a water fed pole system is a total significant upgrade for professional exterior cleaners. The number one benefit is safety. You can clean windows up to several storeys high with your feet firmly and safely on the ground, completely eliminating the risks that come with using ladders. This is a massive plus for workplace health and safety and gives you total peace of mind.

The second significant benefit is efficiency. When paired with a pure water system, a water fed pole lets you scrub and rinse in one easy motion. Because the pure water dries to a suitable, spot-free finish, you don't need to go back and dry the windows with a squeegee. You’ll be amazed at how much faster you can work, allowing you to complete more jobs each day and boost your profits. It's simply a smarter, safer, and faster way to get a flawless result. To achieve this, you'll need a reliable pure water source, so check out our reliable range of RO / DI Purification Units.

While you can technically run tap water through a water fed pole, you shouldn't if you want professional results. The whole magic of the water fed system relies on using ultra-pure water. Your normal tap water is full of minerals and dissolved solids (TDS). If you use this to clean windows, those minerals will be left behind on the glass as the water evaporates, creating ugly white spots and streaks.

To get that suitable, crystal-clear finish, you must use the pole with a water purification system. These systems, like our effective RO / DI Purification Units, strip out all those impurities from the source water. This pure water is the secret ingredient that allows you to simply rinse and let the surface air dry to a flawless, spot-free shine. Using tap water will only create more work and leave your clients unhappy with the result.

Choosing the right water fed pole comes down to two main things: the height you need to reach and the material of the pole itself. First, think about the typical jobs you do. You'll want a pole that can comfortably reach the highest windows you clean regularly, with a bit of extra length to spare. It's always better to have a little more reach than not enough.

Next, consider the pole's material, which directly impacts its weight and rigidity. For lower-level work or if you're just starting out, an aluminium or glass fibre pole is a durable and cost-effective choice. However, if you're a professional tackling multi-storey buildings, a carbon fibre pole is a essential investment. They are significantly lighter and more rigid, which means less flex and fatigue for you during a long day's work. A stiffer pole gives you better control for a more precise clean. To get that suitable clean, you'll need the right brush, so explore our range of hoses and brush heads to find the right head for your new pole.
