Ask your window cleaner about their safety training and practices. Most work-related accidents and injuries can be avoided with proper training and adherence to safety guidelines.

What is a Water-Fed Pole?

What is a Water-Fed Pole?

A water-fed pole or "system" uses purified water in conjunction with a tool to clean windows, building surfaces, vinyl awnings, truck trailers, cars, etc.

The "water-fed" pole uses regular tap water that is then hooked up to our mobile de-ionized water filtration unit. The de-ionizer is used to reduce calcium, salt and other particles found in regular tap water from about 400 particles per million (ppm) to about 1 ppm - creating essentially "pure" water.

For reference, Arrowhead bottled water, while refreshing and delicious, contains about 225 ppm and is perfectly safe to drink, but if you've ever let some evaporate on a piece of glass, you'll notice that the water does leave some "residue" spots. De-ionized water with less that 20 ppm leaves virtually no residue - i.e. NO SPOTS!

The water is pumped from the de-ionized unit, up through the brush (hence the name "water-fed") and squirted onto the glass while the cleaner uses the brush to agitate the dirt located on the window. Once he's scrubbed the entire piece of glass with the brush, the "pure" water is used to rinse the particles away and the window dries spot free!

Water-fed pole techniques are very important to Fish Window Cleaning's success, since we clean a number of buildings and homes where it's simply impractical (and dangerous) to use a ladder to clean with a traditional mop and squeegee.

Some homes in the Los Angeles South Bay (especially in Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Beach) are built so close to their neighbors that there's literally no other way to reach the windows safely. Thank goodness for technology!

Using a water-fed pole is an excellent way to safely and efficiently clean difficult to reach windows - but traditional window cleaning techniques should always be considered first, before resorting to advanced technology.

Consumer Tip: Ask your window cleaner "how" and "why?"

Always make sure that your window cleaner has been properly trained on the correct use and maintenance of the equipment, how frequently they use this equipment/technique and, more importantly, why the pole is being used.

Some window cleaners tend to "overuse" water-fed poles just to gain speed rather than providing the "best" solution for their customers' needs. When asked about why they are using a water-fed pole, your window cleaner must have an answer better than "it's faster this way".

Remember: You are the consumer and you have the right to ask "why"!

Rain In The Forecast - Have Us Still Clean Your Windows!

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:44:16 +0000

There's rain in the forecast...what should I do?

If you are concerned about the rain making your windows look dirty after we clean... Rest assured it will not!

Rain water does not cause your windows to look dirty or streaked. Windows become dirty from the wind blowing dust and debris against your windows. Actually, rain water is about as pure as water can be. Having Fish Window Cleaning maintain your windows on a regular basis keeps the glass clean and allows rain water to run off without leaving streaks or spots.

No, we won't stand out in the rain and clean the windows, but if rain is simply in the forecast or your windows are covered by an overhang or awnings - we'll make them sparkle just like we do when it's sunny. They'll look great and, because they're clean, they won't spot up or streak.

100% Rain Guarantee - If it rains within 48 hours of our cleaning AND the windows spot or streak, call us and we'll touch them up - Free of Charge - as soon as we can.

Call us for a Free Estimate at 310-973-3474 and we'll make your windows SPARKLE - Rain or Shine!
