A system that dries the windows? No more wondering if you've left lines of dribbles down the pane? (WFP on a par with trad)
Do you think this is the future!
Think again because its here now! The Amazing Pro-10 that leaves windows dry, will be on show at the NEC Cleaning Show, if anyone is going feed back would be great :)

Like I said on (another forum) I'll believe it when I see it.
Mind you, I'd love to be able to believe it ;D
-
YES wish I was going to the Cleaning Show :( if any good then it would have to be on my Christmas shopping list, me thinks
Andy
PS think they did do a WFP for inside windows but it never took off!
-
Sounds cool,
Just hope it works - Pro-10 so I take it its an Ionics machine
Any idea how much its gonna be?
Alistair

Will be in the next issue of PWC (which was confirmed today)
Andy

Got to be a Hot air thing like the local car wash, and if it is, I can see a lot of melted window frames. ???
-
;D next it will be the first window cleaner in space :o ::)
-
A customer has a karcher machine, well i think its a karcher, and he does a balcony window with this machine, wets the window and sucks of the water?? Have not seen this thing, obviously it doesnt use pure water!!
-
without sounds arguementative ( unlike me i know ;) )
but thats the point, WFP left to dry does a good job ( normally ;))
im of the opinion, if it aint broke, dont try and fix it
but please if any1 can give me a reason for it, then great

The internal window wfp was connected to a Carpet cleaning hot water extraction machine, the wf pole acted as a vacuum pole and at the top of the pole there was a serated rubber squeegie blade and the excess water was hoovered off through the pole.
The machine recirculated the water through a number of filters so that the water would continue to be pure.
It was useful for the very high internal windows that were difficult to access, but I don't see the need for it outside.

The saying goes "if you need to ask how much" then you can't afford it and it being a Ionics product, do you need to ask. :o
-
I don't think it will take off.
one reason it will be expensive to buy.
and it will take you twice as long to do the job as you are washing them you probably need to go over again to suck the water up.

I don't think I would ever buy a WFP system that also dried the window - Surely it would just make each job take longer!

Hi Terry
I think just let the wfp'rs go their own way and say nothing much.
There's a fortune to be earnt from windows done previously by wfp.
I'm not knocking wfp as I use it also sometimes. I'm just a window cleaner who earns a living by being realistic. I'm all for all w/c's to go over to wfp bar me.
When are you next defending your world record?
-
Its a good idea but the hair dryer is the appliance which drains most electricity in the shortest amount of time. How many batteries would you go through with this????
Steve

Maybe it is a water fed pole with a squeegee on the end ;D back to basics.

The only reason I can see for it would be cosmetic. I think this product would be hard to sell as too many people are already clued up about WFP. If it was brought out at the start of WFP then it might have sold. Mind you, I've been wrong before.
-
Whatever next, ::) wfp is all about being confident with your work and leaving the windows wet with good results as long as you do your job correct then theres no need to spend thousands on fancy equipment. ;)
I think i'll learn to walk before i run and i would never be able to afford those prices anyway i will wait for jourk to invent the first wfp pole with a hairdryer on the top ;D

I can just see it now in a few years customers complaining because there windows are being left dry and have always been used them being left wet ;D
The customer will say " i prefere it when my windows were left wet its all ive ever known" :D
Who knows what the future holds for wfp :-\

Spot on.
(no pun intended ;D)

If any one receives the trade mag Cleaning Matters! then your see the new WFP machine that leaves the windows dry! I would scan it but dont think I can under copy right :-\
Andy
PS the head line goes...The Biggest thing in Window Cleaning since the waterfed pole!
-
they said wfp would'nt work and it did i think we have to allways look for new ways.i hear that they have are going to relaunch the indoor machine at the show anyone hear about this??
-
Sqeaky you carry on looking for your fortune. I already have mine. :)
-
just a thought if this new ionics machine leaves the windows dry then why will it need pur water , surely if its drying the window ordinary water would be alright or am i missing something.
-
It would still need pure water as tap water will leave spots because of the minerals and impurities in the water.
Paul
-
this depends on the drying method if the water is vacumed then there wont be any residue to spot , also if it is blown of it shouldnt spot either as my car windscreen doesnt spot after being blown dry in car wash. so would this system work with ordinary water or not . Any other thoughts
-
I can't see it being blown as it would just splash onto the other panes that are dry.
As for being sucked off ;D the suction required would be such that the hose (or whatever) would be hard to move around the glass.

I have seen this new machine and to confirm, it does come with ROs
Andy

So does it recycle the water? And what are ROs?
-
can anyone who works for ionics let us know how it dries the glass so we have to stop debating what we dont know
-

Terry

-
You'll be pleased to know that the glass is dried as you go and its just as quick as WFP with all of the benefits. And it does inside windows as well :o
Andy
There's a lot in what Ian says, you'll be pleased to know that the glass is dried as you go and its just as quick as WFP with all of the benefits.
