What is a water fed pole?
Cleaning your windows the old-fashioned way is difficult. It requires a ladder, some chemical or eco-friendly cleaner, and cloths for wiping down the glass. So if you live in a big house then you might have to spend a few hours to a few days doing this job, depending on the size of the house. Cleaning windows is typically a dangerous and time-consuming task, so we advise homeowners to avoid the hazards associated with this labour. However, our once traditional window cleaners in Tunbridge Wells now have an advantage due to the creation of a water-fed pole. But what is a water fed pole we hear you ask?
Introducing water fed pole technology
This new device is the most recent technological innovation in window cleaning. You could say it is completely revolutionising the market. This is because it simplifies outside window cleaning and provides a superior clean for homes. Furthermore, cleaning windows using this method is less expensive, more accessible, safer, and faster.
Understanding how the system works
The water fed pole is a long extendable pole (usually made from carbon fibre) with a soft bristle brush on the end. Then a hose runs the length of the tube. So when water is pumped through the hose and brush, it shoots out at high pressure, just like a pressure washer. However, the cleaner can easily manage the water stream so as not to damage any windows.

Operation of the water fed pole
- The cleaning professional can clean the window using a wet brush and specialised filtered and de-ionised water.
- Purified water refers to water that has been cleaned, or “purified,” by removing most contaminants or “total dissolved solids.”
- The brush scrubs the contaminants from the glass. Then the purified water rinses all the dirt and grime away and leaves the windows streak-free.
- Purified water is mineral-free, leaving no residue or chalky finish on the window. This ensures that it dries streak-free and sparkling clean.
- The pole may be extended to a height of 70 feet. So this allows cleaners on the ground to quickly and safely reach first, second or third-story windows.
Environmental benefits
Another good thing about using a water fed pole is that it’s better for the environment. When you clean your glass with a sponge and bucket, you usually need detergent or chemicals to remove stains and dirt. This isn’t good for both the environment and your health. On the other hand, the new systems only use water that has been cleaned. So this won’t hurt your health, your home, or the environment in the area. It means that you can have peace of mind that you have chosen the most environmentally friendly way to clean your windows if you go this way.
