Water usage while window cleaning reach and wash style

How much water do I need for a days window cleaning, and how fast should I have the water coming out the brush?? This question seems to be the most read posting on the water fed pole board on the window cleaning forum. The answer is a hard one, and I usually tell prospective customers who ask, "it depends on how fast a worker you are". A slow worker on a fast water flow will waste quite a bit of water over the day, whereas a fast worker on a slow water flow will waste a lot of time in the day, as he will be waiting around for the window to have enough water passed over it to wash the window properly.

I have seen on numerous occasions while observing window cleaners using a water fed pole while window cleaning, using far too much water on a single window. People seem to brush the glass then rinse far too much, far more than is necessary for a perfect finish. When I am asked by someone who usually uses too much water how they can reduce the amount they use, I tell them to clean the windows as normal preferably on a building they are going to be cleaning the insides as well. I tell them to clean a couple of windows spending half the time and using half the water, then thoroughly check all the windows while cleaning the insides. There is usually a great deal of surprise with the results, when the windows cleaned in half the time, with half the water are compared to the window cleaned normally, with no noticeable difference between them.

Another factor is the type of window cleaning you are doing, commercial or domestic. Commercial uses more water as much more time is spent on the glass due to less time being spent lowering and heightening the pole. The type of jets are another important aspect. Fan jets make much better use of the water than pencil jets, due to the fact that the water is under pressure, and also the water is being distributed over the whole length of the brush, even reaching to the very edges of the brush. Last but not least is the way you turn the water on and off while working. If you have to keep stopping what your doing to turn the water off between windows you will tend to keep the water running between windows, this tends to waste a lot of water in the day.

You personal water usage for your days work will be established only when you get out there and start using your system, and discover what settings are best for you personally
