Customer question of the day for the Tucker Pole?


We received a recent e-mail from a prospective customer in California.

I would like to purchase model ASH water fed pole.
The distance from the ground to the top of the window is 17'.
I am 5' tall.
What length pole do you suggest? I am thinking 15ASH.
I would like to attach it to my de-ironizer with a hose.
What length hose do I need?
And how can I get pricing?

The answer is different than what the customer was thinking.

The Correct Answer is a Model 20 ASH, since the customer needs to reach 17'.

The expected reach of the Model 15 ASH is 15'

"Model No. is height reached feet." We have been using this model code system, since the 1960s to better serve our customers.

We are thankful for customers like this that express questions. Questions are always welcome, so we can determine the best model or method of window washer or exterior maintenance system required.

Have a great week of Thanksgiving. Our offices are open Monday to Wednesday. We will be closed Thursday and Friday this week in observance of Thanksgiving here in the United States. We want to express our thanks to our customers, distributors and those interested in waterfed.

Thursday, Novmember 19, 2009: Joint Rotary Club Meeting in Cedar Rapids, Iowa


Robin Tucker is scheduled to attend today's joint meeting of the seven Cedar Rapids Metro Area Rotary Clubs from 11:30 am to 1 pm at the Kirkwood Center for Continuing Education.

Kirkwood Center for Continuing Education


Today's Speaker and Program:


The seven Cedar Rapids Metro area Rotary clubs will join together to hold a luncheon to build public awareness for polio and to raise money to help eradicate polio one and for all. Doug Oberman (read more below), a successful Waterloo lawyer and international speaker on polio will share his inspiring life story and the impact polio has had on his life.

Many of us know someone who had a brush with the crippling disease which mainly
strikes children. But Rotarian Doug Oberman of Cedar Falls has a very
personal experience. Doug was a normally active boy until one day
when he was eight. Polio robbed him of the use of his hands and arms, but
not his spirit. Although Doug has slept in an iron lung for over 50 years,
he graduated from college and law school and had a successful law practice for
29 years.

In 2002 Rotary asked Doug to travel to Barcelona,
Spain to address its international convention. Although the ordeal of
getting his iron lung onto the place was replayed four times, he made it and was
the hit of the event. Later he traveled to Rotary meetings in Cleveland
and Windsor, Canada where he gave powerful presentations about his passion
for making polio only the second disease ever eradicated.
