Keeping your windows crystal clear can be a challenge, especially in areas like South Surrey and White Rock, where ocean breezes carry salt, dust, and other residues that accumulate on glass surfaces. Traditional window cleaning methods can be time-consuming, often requiring ladders and chemical cleaning products. Fortunately, there’s a modern, safer, and highly effective solution: purified water-fed-pole window cleaning. This advanced method delivers spotless results without the need for soap or risky ladder work.
How Purified Water-Fed-Pole Cleaning Works
This cleaning method uses pure water that has had all minerals and impurities removed. The purified water flows through a pole and is sprayed out from a specialized window scrubbing brush, which washes the windows using the pure water as both a lubricant and cleaner.
Regular tap water contains dissolved minerals that leave streaks and spots when they dry. Water that contains lots of dissolved solids is referred to as “hard” water. By removing these minerals through a special “de-ionization” filtration process, the water becomes “soft”. Soft or “de-ionized” water naturally absorbs dirt from the glass and rinses them away without leaving any residue.
The filtration process typically involves Deionizing (DI) Resin, which Eliminates any impurities in the water, making it completely pure.
Other filtration systems may include:
Carbon Filters – Remove chlorine and other unwanted elements.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membrane – Removes most dissolved minerals.
How Deionizing Resin Works
Deionizing resin is a material made of tiny, porous beads that attract and trap minerals from the water. These beads exchange unwanted minerals with harmless elements, leaving the water completely clean.
Cation Exchange Resin – Removes minerals like calcium and magnesium, which cause hard water spots.
Anion Exchange Resin – Captures other impurities like sulfates and chlorides.
By the time the water passes through this system, it is so pure that it dries completely clear, without streaks or marks.
How DI Resin Is Made
Deionizing resin beads are made from a type of plastic that is shaped into tiny spheres. These beads go through a special treatment process involving positive and negative charging of ions to give them the ability to remove minerals from water. The result is a highly effective material that ensures the water used for cleaning is completely pure and leaves no streaks behind.
TDS Levels in Metro Vancouver and How We Achieve 0 PPM Purity
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) refer to the amount of minerals and impurities in water. In Metro Vancouver, tap water has different TDS levels depending on the area:
- Metro Vancouver Average – 10 to 40 parts per million (ppm).
- South Surrey and White Rock – Often slightly higher, between 30 to 50 ppm, due to different water sources.
However, this is still quite low when compared to places like Los Angeles, which averages 127 ppm.
For window cleaning, we lower TDS to 0 ppm using our advanced Deionizing (DI) Resin purification system.
This ensures no mineral spots or streaks, giving windows a flawless shine.
The Benefits of Water-Fed-Pole Window Cleaning
1. Chemical-Free Cleaning
Purified water is powerful enough to clean windows without soap or chemicals, making it eco-friendly and safe for plants, pets, and outdoor surfaces.
2. Safe and Ladder-Free
Because the system uses lightweight poles that extend up to four stories high, there’s no need for ladders. This reduces the risk of falls and accidents while allowing for faster, more efficient cleaning.
3. Spot-Free and Streak-Free Windows
Since the water is free of minerals, it dries without leaving marks. Unlike soap-based methods, there’s no sticky residue to attract dirt, meaning windows stay cleaner for longer.
4. Perfect for Large and Hard-to-Reach Windows
Many homes in South Surrey and White Rock have large glass windows that are difficult to clean with traditional methods. The water-fed-pole system makes it easy to reach high and awkward spots without missing any areas.
5. Protects Your Home’s Exterior
Traditional cleaning can sometimes damage window frames or seals. The gentle brushes and pure water in the water-fed-pole system clean thoroughly without harming delicate surfaces.
6. Gently washes your frames and sills clean
The water-assisted scrubbing action effectively loosens and washes away dirt, cobwebs, and debris from your window frames and sills. Clean frames and sills can make a significant difference in your home’s curb appeal.
