How To Select the Proper

Tucker® Pole System

 

When properly selecting a Tucker® Pole System you will need to ask yourself some specific questions?

  1. Determine what length is needed?  How high does the pole need to reach?
  2. Which type of system is needed: Tucker Window Washer System or Tucker Exterior Maintenance System?
  3. Determination of the precise method of pole, especially if selecting a Tucker Window Washer System.
  4. Depending on the system that is selected (i.e.: 45C, 35X, TJ9), what options or accessories will be needed to get the proper results desired?

Determine Reach? Measure or estimate the distance from the ground to the top of the highest point you plan to reach.  The measuring point on the ground needs to take into consideration any flower beds, bushes, trees or slopes around the building that you may have to contend with.  The best way to measure is to drop one end of a line from the highest window sill to the ground, then tying a knot at the window sill for measurement.  When making your measurement, remember to add distance accordingly, for the angle and point you are on the ground.

System Type?  Tucker® Pole Window Washer requires a method to be selected.  You need to decide if you want a method with a single hose or dual hose, and with or without a detergent dispenser.  The A method comes with a single hose (ASH) or dual hose (ADH), but with no detergent dispenser.  The ASH has a single hose that delivers water to the brush.  The ADH has a dual hose.  One hose delivers the water to the brush and one that delivers water the Fan or Jet Spray Nozzle above the brush.  B and C Methods use a tablet detergent dispenser.  The B Method is a single hose with both detergent and rinse using the same line.  You turn the valve off from the detergent dispenser, then wait for the detergent to clear out of the hose before you can rinse.  The C method has a dual hose.  One hose dedicated for detergent and one dedicated for rinsing.  You turn the valve and you can go from one to the other without waiting for the line to clear.  The C method is clearly our most popular model. 

The use of detergent is very important on many jobs.  With air pollution, we have more than dirt to remove.  Rain cleans the air, then deposits material on the windows.  This material is made up of dirt and only air pollution  that requires more then water to remove.  If you have had rain or fog since the last time the windows were cleaned, you may need detergent.  However, do not use too much.   Remember, we would not wash our car, clothes, or hands without using soap or detergent.  We do not want our windows to be any different.

The Tucker® Pole Systems may require water treatment.  "Spot free" water is a key to our method of cleaning.  De-ionization, reverse osmosis and other filtration are products of modern technology and improve the quality of water delivered from municipal water systems. 

The Tucker® Pole System is easy to add a section(s) to an existing pole to make up to 8 sections.  When adding a section(s), you may need to order the proper length of hose to fit the new length of pole.  If you want to reduce a section, the system allows you to remove it.  Remember to have the proper size butt ring to fit the bottom section of your pole, when removing section(s).  Butt rings are numbered 1 through 8 like the handle sections.  Start at the top, this is the #1 section and count each section down through #8.  "MANUFACTURER'S WARNING"- Except for the telescoping together of Sections 1 and 2, telescoping together of sections of differing lengths is not recommended and may result in section failure and/or personal injury.
