What model is needed for the Job?

When it comes to exterior window cleaning and surface cleaning, having the right model and method of window washer or exterior maintenance system is required. It may be simply changing brushes, adding a gooseneck or detergent dispenser.

We have recently seen a pick up of our 12 foot models. These our models that reach up to 48 feet to 83 feet, though once you purchase a Tucker Pole. In many cases, customers and operators will take on and off handle sections as they prepare for various jobs. In many cases, having more than one model will provide for the highest utility, then trying to use one model for all.

It is always interesting to visit with customers, regarding how they are setting up waterfed in their operations. From a simple set up to a very customized approach, waterfed can be expand your business opportunties. Having the right tools for your operations is always good advise.

We want to thank our customers, distributors and users of the Tucker Pole.

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.

Thank you for your calls and questions. If you have a question, don't hesitate to e-mail or call us at 1-800-553-8131 or 1-319-363-3591. Our business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. CST.

Taking the Tucker Pole out of the Closet

So, is there something back behind that vacuum or other cleaning tools and supplies?

Over the years, we hear the similar story. We found a Tucker Pole in one of our closets.

"While cleaning our supply closet we recently unearthed one of your
telescoping window-cleaning poles. It is one of the gold models, extends
to 45 feet and does not include the valve controls on the pole itself. We
are relatively sure how to work the device but we misplaced the directions.
It
would be wonderful if you could email or send us a copy." - Anna from
Small College in
GA

We received a telephone call recently from a hospital out west. They wanted to get back to using their Tucker Poles to help lower their window cleaning budget. During the good budget years, his predecessor outsourced the window cleaning, but now as his replacement, he plans to bring his window cleaning back in-house, so they are bringing the Tucker Poles out as well.

The story isn't new over the years here at Tucker.
