I've owned or tried out most wfps out there. This is my choice hands down.

Ray, Is a clear water system a brand name?
I have been researching WFP's and DI and RO/DI systems for awhile. I will definitely be investing for the new season. Thanks for the sugggestion Tony on the WFP. My TDS in California are very high. It looks like I will be getting a RO/DI system even though I don't do a lot of windows.

I also need a wfp. What is the average height, the pole that Tony recommended is 44ft. Or is that pole more for commercial work.

Brian:
i'm just beginning to explore this whole wfp thing, but over 40 seems excessive for the average residential. I'd think most 2 story homes could be tackled with less than a 30.

Eric:
I bought this one:

I actually purchased it from Bill at powerwashstore.com and got the same deal. I just love doing business with those guys! I'm sure racenstien is great, but I like to be loyal when possible.

For those of you interested in getting into this window cleaning world, Tony Evans is a WEALTH of info. He graciously explained a lot of info to my thick-skulled-self the other day. He was very giving with his time and I sure appreciate him!

I appreciate the kind words Ray.
The system Ray got is has my highest recommendation. JRC or Power Wash Store are great choices to buy it from.
The Gardiner poles come in many heights and you can buy a shorter pole and add sections later as you need to go higher.

I was looking at the IPC Eagle hydro tube from Jracenstein. Any thoughts on how it compares with the system Ray bought, Tony?

mistersqueegee · Approved Window Cleaner

There is no comparison in my opinion Eric. the HydroTube has a very small carbon and DI (both about 9" compared to the 30" ones on the H2Pro) which have to be replaced at the same time. The ones on Ray's system can be refilled by you which saves a ton of money compared to sealed replacements. If you get the H2Pro you won't be dissatisfied Eric.

that is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thanks Tony.

I need a A light weight extendable pole for scrubbing. 5-6' for under porches to 20'-30' for gutters. Is a water fed pole with out attachment the way I should go?

SprayWash · Approved Exterior Cleaner

Andy, from my conversation with Tony, I think a WFP wouldn't be the right choice for scrubbing. At $500-$1200 i wouldn't want to abuse them. He recommended having cheaper, stouter poles on the truck for the grunge work. I know my guys are under the treat of death/torture/termination if they do anything with our WFP other than gentle window washing!

I undrerstand.When we wash a home exterior we brush door and window frames then brush water droplets from porch ceilings. Rough on the shoulders

If it's just water droplets your scrubbing then you could use your wfp for this as well. The 30ft SL-X would be a good fit as it can go from 5-6' to 30ft in the same pole plus it's rigid and light enough to save your shoulders. For gutter cleaning it would work as well. I'd suggest a separate brush for that of course. ;)
