We has spent time on the job and we know the mistakes window cleaner make when they assemble a water-fed pole system. You can start cleaning right away by avoiding these mistakes.
1. Not Properly Securing Extension Poles
If you notice that your pole leaks or does not feel secure when cleaning, it is likely that your extension pole needs to be tightened to the base. Water leakage or waste can be caused by loose poles. It is possible that they may fall off while cleaning, leading to injury and loss of productivity. To avoid these dangers and ensure the most efficient, safe experience for your employees, take the time to properly train them about the new equipment.2. Letting Your Poles "Wobble" Or Not Flex Properly
Use the clamps included with the pole to tighten the poles. You can then adjust the tension to ensure that the poles reach all parts of the window. You should also avoid over-tightening the pole, as you want to maintain just the right level of flexibility. It is important to be able to easily turn the pole as you wash the windows.3. Using The Wrong Or Damaged Hose
If you are experiencing less than optimal water pressure when cleaning, it is likely that the hose connecting the water source with the tool has either become old or worn out, or the connection at the source may not be secure. Check the hose first to ensure it's long enough and in good shape. Low water pressure makes window cleaning inefficient, and increases cleaning time.4. Failure To Turn On The Water Source
During the winter, it's not uncommon for buildings to shut off water outside. This is especially true in climates with colder temperatures. Even if your window cleaning rod is assembled and ready to use, you may be unable to do so immediately. Be sure to check that the person responsible for the sillcock has turned on the water supply before you begin cleaning your solar panels or outdoor windows. It's a good idea to always carry your own sillcock in case you are not able to reach the person who is responsible.5. Not Using The Right Brush Attachment

It is best to invest in several types of brushes and use the appropriate tool for every cleaning task. You can easily swap brush attachments using a versatile Water Fed Window Cleaning Pole system.
