Equipment choices for working window cleaners

Choose a water-fed setup for your water and working height.

Measure tap-water TDS, monthly pure-water use and the highest glass. Those numbers show whether to start with DI, compare RO/DI, or solve the pole first.

Check DI vs RO/DI Plan the complete setup

If those three measurements are missing, product comparisons start too early.

Before you buy

Do not size the rig from pole length alone.

Filtration, brush-end flow, hose, working reach and transport have to fit the same route. A strong pole cannot rescue an undersized water system—or a system that never fits the vehicle.
