Water Fed Poles

[Ralph]

Any recommendations for a water fed pole for cleaning high windows? Also, soap or no soap? I don't really want to get into having to use ionised water and all that faff.

I have a long pole (extendable)with brush (can be fed water up it) but I prefer to use a ladder to clean first floor windows. The pole tho is good for the conservatory roof.

Can we just give Poles water, instead of money, to build our houses properly.

BREXIT must be working.

That would be my preferred method but I'm a bit wobbly on ladders (legs are held together with screws) and the standing seam down the first floor makes it even worse.

I have one of these.  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/294314970325?epid

Late to this.

 

I have just purchased a roof cleaning accessory for my Nilfisk pressure washer. The pole is 4.2m, and seems fine.

 

I'll be starting a thread about type of water to use, as I know what my shower looks like after a period with routine cleaning, or steam clean of the glass. My area I moderately hard water. It can take detergent, but I will probably try using the detergent system for CuSO4 for the semi-under-tree solar panels once a year.

 

My former window cleaner used deionised water from a tank in their van and no detergent.
