You have to keep rinsing and brushing sometimes you can get away with switching the water off brush it over then rinse below it then after 2 cleans you shouldn't get anymore come out and you can just go flat out
I don’t know what happened to be honest, I’m not two hours quicker every day! I am finding it helps me work more quickly but I think I must have been pumped that day!🥵👍🏼
Hi Ashley, nice vid, would love to have a street like that, do you reckon the brush would fit on other poles, I have a slx and I wanna give that brush ago?😃👍🏻
Great video, Ash;ly. I would say that the audio levels are off though. The music is much louder than the speaking sections. Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks for your comments. It might depend a bit on the device you are using, but I always want the music to be bangin anyway.😃👍🏼 I will take a look at that next time though.
Bro I need that brush like yesterday! Was just about to buy reach it radius when I saw your video. My brush is falling apart. Where can I get one? Love the way that brush moves. I've been doing water fed for 15 years and I get more picky about my tools. The brushes these days I just ain't crazy about. Anyway sell me your used one. 😅 Thanks for the video!
Is there a link for the pole and brush mate? Thanks in advance I've been looking and there's hi mod and 24k not sure which one you have but looks like a great new pole
Hi. Good video 👍🏼 We just bought a 3 story house and I’m looking for the best tools to do the outdoor windows myself. Is there a solution or soap mixed in somehow when using this brush and pole? Or is it just water? Do you use a squeegee to dry the windows? Thanks 😊
quick question ive been looking at the unger nlite starter kit as like myself ive not long started windows and found im getting more intersest , im car with ladders at the moment i was wondering would the starter kit be a step in the right direction ? cheers dean.
Used my unger 4k pole for a year but I've returned to using my phathom pole. It's clunky and quite heavy and the power brushes are really weak, they need armoured. They just break at the swivel neck and that piece isn't replaceable and render the expensive brushes obsolete! Some great features but the pole is far too clunky and brushes really weak
Hi there, im thinking about buying an over the top rinse bar as i really like the concept and think it would make my work a lot more efficient, but im a little bit concerned that rinsing on glass could cause spotting. When i really think about it the last thing that touches the glass is pure water and it would achieve the exact same results as rinsing off the glass, potentially it could do an even better job on high windows as you can be more accurate with the rinse. Is this what you found or do you still rinse off glass?
Yeah, the trouble is that the bristles splay out above where the rinse bar sits. So it also just gets in the way really and you end up hitting things with it. One of my favourite brushes has a rinse bar down the middle, but you have to rinse off the glass. But it doesn’t fit with the Unger system.
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you think a brush with short bristles combined with a rinse bar thats spaced out further ( like some of the reach it brushes) Would rinse well on glass?
Hi Ashley, nice video. Are you using the van mounted tank and pump for that brush and rinse bar combo? Those rinse bars need a ton of water to work well. How much more water are you going through?
Ive just found your channel, having found some Unger videos. Im interested in cleaning my own windows, I have 2 houses and a flat. Im not very happy with the standard of cleaning provided by my existing cleaning contractor, they use the de-ionised water pole fed, but the windows dont look very clean, they just brush the plain water on, surely its necessary to use a detergent of some sort? I have an R.O system with a D.I filter, which I use for the final rinse of my cars, but only after I've washed them with a shampoo and clean water rinse.
Traditional soaps will leave a tacky residue (microscopic) so the surface will become dirty again more quickly than a window cleaned with pure water, that doesn’t leave any residue. The window should be scrubbed thoroughly and rinsed well. The brush agitates the dirt and the dirt then sticks to the water. A good rinse will then just leave pure water behind without any dirt. Regular cleaning will keep it well maintained, but for very dirty or neglected windows, a little bit of soapy solution will be loosened the dirt. I do this for first cleans, or anything that hasn’t been cleaned for a long time.👍🏼
@aemackintosh many thanks for your reply. Maybe I just need to change my window cleaner. If I wanted to clean them myself, is it viable/sensible to purchase the WFP system? How often should the windows be cleaned using the soap system v the WFP. Many thanks
@aemackintosh many thanks for your reply. Would you mind recommending a system for use on my own home, I don't have a conservatory. I had a brief look at the Unger site, but I would appreciate a professional view. Best wishes

Hi Ashley Your videos plus talking to a local window cleaner and finding out how much he earns (and also the price of timber has gone up 100%) has persuaded me to have a career change from fencing and landscaping to wfp window cleaning. I love your videos, they are very relaxing and I love how thorough you are! I have a question though... I've bought a TDS meter to test the water where I live and it's 60ppm. Would you still use a RO system or just stick with a DI?
Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you find the channel useful. You might be ok with just di filtration, maybe you should just keep a close eye on the cost of resin. Little tip: the strange thing is, if you use 2 di vessels in line together, the resin will last longer.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh great stuff! Thanks for the tip!!! Sorry I have another question: what you you say is the best mid range pole you would buy if you were just starting out?
Great video…rinsebar combination definitely makes the job faster! I am looking into getting a new brush and rinsebar..so just got a couple questions about this product.. Would the gooseneck of the the brush fit a gardiners pole? Ie so I dont have to use the screwhead for the brush head and just pop the whole thing into my current pole? How many jets does the nlite brush have? And finally 😊 have you tried it with a backpack, how strong a pressure do you need with this brush? Thank you :)
If you get a gooseneck with a euro thread from Gardiner then it will fit. It does also have 2 pencil jets inside the brush if you prefer. I haven’t tried it with a backpack I’m afraid.
Loving your videos ash , thinking about staring up an exterior cleaning business and the more of your videos I watch the more I want to ho ahead with it, im going to purchase the skyvac Pro 21 to do gutters but also want to clean drive ways and patios plus window cleaning, what set ups would you recommend for the latter 2 ? Thanks in advance ☺
I bought also the unger brush recently When i tested it ( without water ) just to see how it looks on my home window. it leaves traces that is hard to remove. What you do with first time use.
Hi Ashley, just wondering if you’ve had any problems with the green nipple that goes through the brush snapping. It’s happened twice now in a few months but I don’t know if it’s through user error or just a fault? Putting strain on the nipple from the clear hose and the swivel action? I put an o clip on the hose at the outside of the gooseneck the second time to leave enough flex for it to move but it’s happened again! Reluctant to buy them again at the price but can’t see any mention of similar problems anywhere else
Hi Ash, another great video. That round is a dream! Which pure water system/poles/brushes would you recommend to me starting out as a window cleaner? Would appreciate any advice.
Yeah, sounds good. I’m not sure of the details of that system. But as long as you have the filter system setup. Sounds like that one has the RO built in similar to my setup, but some window cleaners have the RO setup separately in a garage or something like that.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh That's very helpful thanks a lot Ash. I really appreciate it. I'll get a van sorted in tge next few weeks then get my kit. I'll let you know how I get on 👍
Not sure exactly, but I would say it’s about average weight for a WFP brush. I don’t think it will be to everyone’s liking with the rinse bar, but I definitely love the scrub you get from the bristles.😃👍🏼
The nLite bristles are totally different and I find they get around the chunky upvc frames we have in the UK better. The rinse bar of the nLite also has smaller holes.😃👍🏼
I feel like I would snap that and need lots of replacement parts on back up I'm currently using a 25ft xline pole and I've barely had it that long I think I need a new one already as I'm going through so much work most of the time working 6 days to keep up
@@aemackintosh I don't know they're trad soap is poor and the gutter pole has worn out 3 clutches in a year I've not had the same experience with them as you clearly
@@aemackintoshit may dry without streaks, but it doesn't clean the window glass properly, WFP systems seem to benefit the window cleaner more than it benefits the customer.
More is needed than just getting the window wet. You need a good scrub fro the brush to loosen the dirt, then the water will wash it away without leaving any residue.👍🏼
It’s about the same rigidity as the Gardiner I would say. A little heavier though. I’ve been switching between this and my Xline brush setup quite a bit, but I’m way quicker with the nLite.😎👍🏼
@@aemackintosh thx mate today i have put up my ionic pure20 for sale i'm gonna buy the same as yours the 400l streamline , this way i can work easyer because that tank can be installed in my van
The pole is a little heavy overall. I think that makes it hard going to use it all day every day. I am swapping between this and another setup at the moment, but this is definitely quicker.😃👍🏼
Unger's customer service leaves a lot to be desired. My first wfp was an alum nLite and a Hydropower vessel - the Hydropower is great but the female inlet was damaged so I asked Unger if the new shiny metal Hydropower Ultra fittings would fit the original Hydropower. They said yes but turns out they were wrong - the Geka female thread is screwed up in the wrong way and my attempts to communicate with them have only met silence. I'm sure I've also sent messages about their products on other topics and they rarely replied.
Thanks Ash. So better DuPont ? Better than XLine ? Personally when you set yourself a target to beat, your mind set is set , no? it’s not always about equipment mate, mind set is key! I want to earn x amount a day that’s what I earn, I want to earn xx amount that’s what I earn and so on……..🤷🏻♂️ to me the brush set your recommending (marketing) is way over priced …. But do appreciate your time.
Yes, I know what you mean. This day I was pumped. I’m not always quite as quick as that, but I think I am definitely working a bit more quickly overall. Andy who has been working with me has noticed that I’m quicker too.😃👍🏼
I had my windows cleaned for 3 months with the brush on a stick method, it may be better for the cleaner, but not for the paying client. I went back to the traditional guys and got it done right again. If I wanted it done the lazy way, I could use a hose and a car/van wash brush and do it myself better.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with a water fed pole window cleaner. This method is becoming more and more popular since it can achieve excellent results and windows even stay cleaner for longer when cleaned with pure water. But like any task, if it isn’t carried out correctly you won’t achieve the desired results.
No you can’t you need pure water and it’s not the lazy way it’s the safest and done right it’s so much better , so don’t tie the rest of us with the same brush
Nice to see your technique up close, I'm just starting my first maintenance cleans, so it's a great help. Thanks.
I’m glad you find it useful. I have put a link in the description to a video with more wfp techniques you might find useful.😃👍🏼

You should do a comparison with the Reach-it Radial Rocker. It has sped up my window washing by water fed pole by more than 50%.

I agree mate, and I've been cleaning with wfp for 20 years.
I much prefer pencil jets, but each to their own.

This is a little heavier than some other options out there, and is only compatible with other Unger accessories.

Which is the best rinse bar? The X line or the unger.
They are very different since the Xline is in the brush and the Unger is over the top.👍🏼
@@aemackintosh Which gives the best rinse? Can only afford one or the other at the moment.
You will probably get on better with the Xline if you are only buying the brush and not the pole as well.
@@aemackintosh Cheers Ash
H hi or much are these poles ash I’ve got old Hi-mod it’s bit too heavy for residential work mate
The pole is a little heavy overall. I think that makes it hard going to use it all day every day. I am swapping between this and another setup at the moment, but this is definitely quicker.😃👍🏼
Unger's customer service leaves a lot to be desired. My first wfp was an alum nLite and a Hydropower vessel - the Hydropower is great but the female inlet was damaged so I asked Unger if the new shiny metal Hydropower Ultra fittings would fit the original Hydropower. They said yes but turns out they were wrong - the Geka female thread is screwed up in the wrong way and my attempts to communicate with them have only met silence. I'm sure I've also sent messages about their products on other topics and they rarely replied.
Sorry to hear that. You are probably best to communicate with the supplier you bought it from. I hope things improve for you.👍🏼
Where are you based mate? I would recommend you 💯
Thanks! I’m in the Northampton area.😃👍🏼
how do you squeegee the window--or is there no squeegee needed?
Pure water dries without leaving any residue.👍🏼
Where do you get that brush from?
Window Cleaning Warehouse do them.😃👍🏼
Am I right in thinking you can’t use this brush on any other pole?
It would be tricky. But it does have a euro thread, so if you can get a gooseneck with a euro thread for your other pole then it is possible.👍🏼

Thanks Ash. So better DuPont ? Better than XLine ? Personally when you set yourself a target to beat, your mind set is set , no? it’s not always about equipment mate, mind set is key! I want to earn x amount a day that’s what I earn, I want to earn xx amount that’s what I earn and so on……..🤷🏻♂️ to me the brush set your recommending (marketing) is way over priced …. But do appreciate your time.
Yes, I know what you mean. This day I was pumped. I’m not always quite as quick as that, but I think I am definitely working a bit more quickly overall. Andy who has been working with me has noticed that I’m quicker too.😃👍🏼
@@aemackintosh 😂 if only every day was like that 😎
Thanks for all the videos look forward to the next 👌
How heavy is the pole
A little heavy at 4.1kg. You feel it by the end of the day.
Hi Ashley,
Nice review mate,
If you changed the brush stock, could you use it on any other pole?
It might be possible, but I’m not sure, I haven’t tried it. Unger have set it up so it’s not so compatible with any other brand. Sneaky.😬👎🏼
Newbie question how do you dry glass off on second floor?
You don’t dry the windows, you leave them to evaporate naturally.
@@cockneycoffee_reviewclub Though would leave water marks!
The water used is purified and therefore dries without leaving anything behind
Dries spot free. It's 0 TDS water. Pure water
@@CleanEdgeWC window cleaning become technical 😯
Why don’t u use high pressure washer?
For regular window cleaning?
I had my windows cleaned for 3 months with the brush on a stick method, it may be better for the cleaner, but not for the paying client.
I went back to the traditional guys and got it done right again.
If I wanted it done the lazy way, I could use a hose and a car/van wash brush and do it myself better.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with a water fed pole window cleaner. This method is becoming more and more popular since it can achieve excellent results and windows even stay cleaner for longer when cleaned with pure water. But like any task, if it isn’t carried out correctly you won’t achieve the desired results.
No you can’t you need pure water and it’s not the lazy way it’s the safest and done right it’s so much better , so don’t tie the rest of us with the same brush
That is quite an expensive brush
Might be worth the investment?👍🏼
why dont you use yer squeegey on the low windows??....would be much quicker
You do whatever makes you feel good.👍🏼
First floor trad will always be faster and cleaner. You wouldn't clean your dishes with pure water over fairy.
No because my windows arent covered in greasy food 😂
Yeah if your charging £3 for glass only , no way would you have frames glass and sills cleaned ,
