Here’s a nice video from Ionic Systems. You can watch them set up the QuattRO RO/DI purification system and the Glyder waterfed pole from start to finish. They offer a time lapse comparison of how pure water dries compares to unfiltered tap water. As you can see, you can use a waterfed pole system on a lift to reach higher areas such as the solar panels on top of the roof.

Steps:

1. Wash the solar panels from top to bottom. The dirt will be dissolved and the impurities will be absorbed into the pure water. Make sure the frames are scrubbed as well.

2. Once the dirt is dissolved thoroughly, you may begin rinsing. In a zig zag motion down the panel, rinse the panels clean. If done thoroughly, only the pure water will remain and it will dry spot free.

Regular cleaning of the solar panels will increase output, especially in areas prone to dust or pollution. Many manufacturers recommend routine cleaning of the panels at around every 6-8 weeks. There are also some manufacturers who say, no maintenance is needed because the rain will clean them naturally. But there are many regions of the world where it does not rain at all! And that’s when a routine cleaning is an ideal add-on service for you.

Did you ever think that a tool of the window cleaning trade such as a waterfed pole can help save someone’s life? Well Neil Caden, 46, and Ferdinand Henriques, 41, a pair of heroic window cleaners did just that. While cleaning windows at a Cafe in the UK, they spotted 2 guys hanging around the edge of the water. One guy jumped in and swam in one direction then a few moments later, the 2nd guy jumped in, but this guy immediately ran into difficulties as he was not a strong swimmer.  Without hesitation, Ferdinand jumped into the water while Neil pulls them in with the waterfed pole. Fortunately the drowning victim’s injury were not life threatening and these pair of window cleaners went back the next day, to finish cleaning up the cafe’s windows.
