Title: Who "invented" water fed pole
Post by: Ian101 on October 15, 2010, 09:44:32 am

Spend most of the day yesterday WFP'oling and didnt need ladders till late afternoon. (did that bungalow Gav ... u know the one Im talking about  :) ... must have 50 - 60 panes of glass )

So as I find WFP  dead boring compared to risking my life on a ladder  ;)  my mind started to wander and got thinking who and when did someone make the connection between using pure water to clean windows and who first thought of an extendable pole ?

Went on an Ionics course late last year and the bloke in charge (Craig I think) mentioned Tucker poles from the USA.

Maybe a bit of an anorakish thought like I said my mind wanders

Had a customer telling me that when she lived in New Zealand many year ago her neighbours showed her how to clean windows using the local tap water ....and nothing else....low tds I imagine..

Cheers

They should get a Nobel peace prize or something! WFP is a great tool
