Water fed squeegee

Other than the wagtail jetstream. Are there any other water fed squeegees out there ?

Just came across this searching around the forums. Didn't someone post a video awhile back with some kind trigger sprayer on a squeegee that was connected to a 5l container he carried around on his waist?

I think that was @rugbywolf

It was hooked up to the applicator, not the squeegee, if I remember correctly?

I think you are right, I remember being intrigued by it. Can't seem to find video anywhere on here though.

An old fella on youtube, designed and made it himself.

I think he thought he had made the next big thing, looked good though.

Of course not the same , but after 18yrs on the job ive started to carry a Squirt-bottle ( the new moerman pouch even have a pocket for it) man ! What a gamechanger , leaving that bucket in the van. Especially for insides.

I haven't used a bucket for years

A spray bottle is much better

Does using a spray bottle not take longer? I usually average one dip per house using a bucket and would of imagined that spraying each window would take longer than one dip in a bucket. Great idea for internals though.

I have rounds of shops where carrying a 5l bottle? on belt and having a it hooked up with squirt trigger instead of having the bucket would be a great idea. I'm certain there was a vid on here with a guy and he had like a B and Q type spray bottle on a belt and made a trigger of some sorts that squirted water from the applicator. Looked through out the site and just can't find it.

Yup, it's a really good idea for certain jobs or certain rounds. Obviously having the bucket is necessary alot of the time but in commercials shopping malls somedays I do just the bottoms, essentially taking off finger prints and having something like that on a belt with the trigger is a cracking idea imo.

My applicator is always wet enough for a couple of windows then I will have to spray one or 2 to get the applicator wet again

Only using the water I need means a lot less water to mop up afterwards

With virtually no detailing to do I am a lot quicker

Sounds good but I’m still not convinced. I see a couple of lads doing it round my way and it looks like slot of hassle. What ever works best for you though I suppose. How do you carry the spray bottle?

I only trad indoors blob of liquid on applicator and a spray bottle of pure so I have a solution that is suspended on the window scrim either on sill or floor drips and bobs your uncle. Only down side is you have to work quick on summer days. 

Works for me got it from  Polz and bladz check his videos out the mans a master with a squeegee.

Found it.Very interesting idea although I would prefer to work with squeegee in right hand and applicator in left with spray coming form that... fliqs can exasperate RSI in my opinion.
