Hi All
Looking to see if anyone use pro 10 or something similar for high insides. Looked at a lot of awkward internals lately & best access would normally be of platform or scaffold tower. But, theres no way you could charge that sort of price every time.
Thanks

we use the pro 10 pole attached to our own carpet machine , it does have its limitations and is very slow for instance if the windows are quite dirty you need to pad them up first with a long pole and applicater it is also quite difficult to get the correct angle for suction to be good enough not to leave smears and finally you cannot do high sills with this system.
personally i wouldnt of bought one but for some places it is a good selling point even though it is crap to use.

You,ve also answered my next question about adapting a carpet cleaner i have a spare Ninja, that i was thinking of doing it to.
Are you talking about fairly dirty infrequent that you use it on. i,m looking at windows that are fairly clean probably monthly etc. But on car showrooms so they would have to be good.

i am talking about dirty windows and also very high ones so on clean lower windows it will probably be a lot easier, if you are thinking of using your carpet machine then make sure the p.s.i isnt above 150 or it blows the pipe between trigger on pole and connection to carpet machine solution hose.

we have pro10 electric. if you have alot of high inside windows to clean, it certainly beats ladders!!

Trevor is it the Ionics attachments that you use it seems very pricey

mostly on large curtain walling, if you do it right, you get perfect results

yes it is the ionics attachment i use and they are very pricey for just the 40ft pole it was about £2000 , there is no way i would of bought one but we landed a very big job and used the pro 10 as a selling point to get it.
i looked but couldnt find another firm to supply an internal pole and didnt have the time to make my own so just bit my lip and paid the dosh but in my opinion these could be made much cheaper and im sure there would be more people buy them then.

Thanks for that, I,ll give Omni-pole a call today to see if they do one.
