Is a Pump needed to use a Tucker Pole?

Generally not.

Of course, you need to have access to a water faucet. In the USA, most water faucets have a pressure of 42 psi (2.5 bar) or greater.

Typically, a pump is used in the window cleaning process on reverse osmosis systems (RO), when one is wanting to manufacture "spot free" water. Also, if you want to transport the water to a job site, you will need a pump. In that application, the pump is used to transfer the water out of your water tank and up to the Tucker Pole.

Some customers will use there carpet cleaning or pressure washer mobile system, using a pressure reducer on the hose, to allow the water to be feed to the Tucker Pole. We recommend that you never exceed 100 psi on your Tucker® Pole hose.

Since we introduced the Tucker® High-Level Window Washer in 1957, the average Tucker Pole user, especially in the United State, has used regular tap water pressure from a water faucet to reach and wash up to 22, 45 and even 83 feet. If your water pressure is below 42 psi or you are in an area where you cannot hook up a to a water faucet, then use of a pump will likely be required, if you want to incorporate this tool into your operation.
