I love my water fed pole. I have an SLX25 with two extra sections in the truck for when I need them. Yes cleaning windows here is different than cleaning windows in the UK. Using a WFP is not as popular because we have storm windows on about 80% of the houses we do and they really have to be done by hand without gloves but that is changing because people are replacing them with new thermo pane windows and they can be water fed poled. We also do all the inside glass on almost every job because most people get their windows done once a year. I think the houses might be bigger. I can only do one a day by myself. We get aout $400 for an average customer in the high end market. The average high end home has about 40 two pane windows. A small house like mine has about 20 two pane windows. People on a budget usually wait two to five years so their glass needs steel wool, razors, hog hair brushes and lots of elbow grease. I have been dropping all those customers. /emoticons/wink.pngokay wfp isnt popular down their ? your wfp arent u ?
I'm trying to do only houses with new replacement windows so I can make the big bucks with my WFP. I came to this forum because the guys in the US all know that you guys across the pond are ahead of the curve when it comes to WFP work. Lots to learn here. I bet I'd be happy with a CLX 80% of the time but I got the SLX because some of the really big houses need the 35ft pole.
