The story of water fed pole window cleaning is a fascinating journey from simple tools to high-tech efficiency. It all began in the mid-20th century when window cleaning was mostly done with ladders, buckets, and squeegees. In 1955, Irv Tucker introduced one of the earliest window cleaning poles as part of a car and home-washing kit, marking a shift toward safer, pole-based methods. This aluminium Tucker pole became a staple for many cleaners.
The real evolution kicked off in the 1980s with advancements in materials and purification technology. The concept of using purified water through extendable poles gained momentum, allowing cleaners to reach higher without risking safety. By the early 1990s, the squeegee— invented in 1936 by Ettore Steccone—started sharing the spotlight with water fed systems as professionals sought eco-friendly alternatives
In 1997, inspired by Tucker’s design, Mawlam launched a telescopic pole system with water purification, bringing the technology to a broader audience. The first seminar on Water Fed poles wasn’t until 1999, and soon after, carbon fiber poles replaced heavier aluminium ones for lighter, more durable options.
Today, this method is a global standard, evolving with lighter materials and smarter purification systems to make window cleaning safer and more effective.
Water fed pole window cleaning is incredibly versatile, making it a staple in modern cleaning services like ours at Ocean Breeze. At its core, it is used for external window cleaning on residential homes, commercial buildings, and even hard-to-reach structures up to 10 metres high—all while keeping our feet firmly on the ground!
Here is how it is applied:
Whether it’s a quick home refresh or a full commercial overhaul, this method adapts to various needs, ensuring spotless results every time.

Curious about the magic behind it? A water fed pole system starts with a purification unit that removes minerals and impurities from tap water, creating “pure water” with zero total dissolved solids (TDS). This water is pumped through lightweight, telescopic poles (often carbon fibre for durability) to a soft-bristle brush at the end.
The brush gently scrubs the window while jets spray the pure water, loosening dirt. As it rinses, the water evaporates without leaving spots. We use high-quality systems at Ocean Breeze to ensure optimal performance, and regular maintenance keeps everything running smoothly.
To keep your system in top shape (or if you are a DIY enthusiast), regular care is key:
