Im amazed at the water pressure you got without a electric pump. I've been doing WFP for over 20 years. Usually around 4 and 5 story buildings. Started with the old school metal Tucker Pole. These new poles are absolutely beautiful, and much lighter. Nice vid and love your attention to details.

Been cleaning windows for 28 years. Great video for technique. I found that WTP systems are great for solar panel cleaning on roof tops. the angle, and height in which panels are placed makes WTP systems ideal. I have signed up 4 commercial accounts and 5 residential accounts. I live in Ohio. I have signed them up for 3 times a year. the most important time to clean solar panels seems to be late May when most of the spring pollen has fallen. Theonly problem is all our accounts need cleaned ariund this time. No sleep from mid May thru June.

I used to install pool solar on roofs for 5 years. You need to walk on the bottom ones of the tiles. It transfers your weight on both top and bottom tiles, reducing the chance to crack the tiles. Thanks for your informational videos Steve.

Very thorough clean. I do the frames tyen rinse then the glass then rinse. Saves keep going back to each window.

Great video! I like how it's real life, and useful for people like me (WFP for less than a year so far).

I use the same principles cleaning solar panels... initial rinse, scrub up and down all the way down, then side to side coming up, followed by final rinse. All using a di tank alone, leaving a spot free rinse. I've been thinking about adding window cleaning, so I started watching you on KZread.

Thanks for your videos brother. Definitely help. I just getting into window cleaning. Your channel has helped a ton!

Hey Steve. You've got so much content. All the training I need!. I just bought your starter kit and used it on a $150 job today! The scrapper definitely a life saver. One question, the Tbar that comes with the kit doesn't lock onto the pole like the squeegee does. Is the Tbar with the kit meant to just be pushed on to the pole tip for use?

You want to walk on the bottom part of the roof tiles because that’s where the timber’s are underneath. I’ve broke a few tiles before I found that out.

Great video broski. I walk roofs the same way.

Out of curiosity how do you go about channels? Or window screens. Where I live everyone has screens. And wants there channels cleaned to. Which is fine. But overall do you thoroughly clean tracks when the customer has them? Like the frames?

Im working as a window cleaner for 13 years and wish your boab and waterfed pole were availible in Holland. The extremely high shipping cost is a real dealbreaker for me.

You are working your ass off bro. Great job

How do you turn off your water in between sections? You have a valve or you simply « kink » your hose?

Love this style of video!! Good stuff brother

What if the frames are REALLY dirty on the second floor? I know tradtional hand cleaning its easier to clean....But a pole with built on and caked up dirt? Can it be done

Wow…I really need. Xero pole. I have an Unger nLite pole and it’s pretty heavy. My arms would have fallen off with that much pole work. But in my opinion, water fed does get them frames cleaner in a much quicker fashion. Awesome vid Steve 👍🏻

One question I have is, what if there's paint or other stubborn matter on the glass that would typically require a scraper or 0000?

How can you tell from the ground if a second or third story window is clean since you can't see that high up face to face

Austin - I have a question for you that somehow is not often addressed in all the various videos I’ve seen uploaded by the gamut of window cleaning YT accounts! MANY well-established industry professionals are ALL insisting that a (1) hand wash/squeegee window wash does not require special water and that tap water is fine, because the squeegee removes it all. I see that you specifically mention special water for water fed pole washes, but omit a squeegee hand wash from that same conversation, which is not a critique, it’s just to let you know I’m closely paying attention and I don’t believe I overlooked any information with respect to that. And another guy said (2) that purified, distilled, or DI water becomes unpurified once detergents are added to it and for that reason, hard tap water may be used just as well as anything else. I’m new to this, so it would take some experience for me to test and experiment with these claims and other than doing so on my own windows, I don’t want to learn the “hard [water] way,” with a customer who holds the power in their hands to rate my business after the fact. I find these claims difficult to believe, but hey, what the hell do I know. I’m not some genius bio-chemist like these veteran window washers! Thank you for reading into this point and for all the helpful, free content and advice!

Why did you say the water pressure was almost too high? I would love to have anything near that pressure. Barely a trickle 80% of the time. never mind. you covered it

I notice you run the hose throughout the pole like you guys send them. Pros and cons of that vs just running it on the outside of the pole? Only company I've worked for didn't run it trough the pole but don't no that there poles could or if he just prefers it that way

How much Indo surface You clean before changing filters and What is the cost pzr houses in filters in average

I’m sure you’ve already addressed this somewhere but where I am they have screens on the exterior. How do you deal with that with your customers? Also, I know that you don’t use a cleaning solution to start are the times and you would recommend doing that?

I really need to get a Xero Waterford pole. I have an Unger nLite pole and it’s pretty heavy. My arms would have fallen off doing that much pole work. In my opinion, WFP work does clean them frames much better and more efficiently. Thanks for the great work Steve.

Yea I just prefer the larger inner diameter hose, Ive done tests with different size hosing and I get a lot more water through the brush with the larger inner diameter then the smaller inner diameter. This is what I prefer with RODI systems, but for DI only you could definitely run 200' of the smaller hose and get great pressure.
