How to set up a water fed pole valve for soft washing

How to set up a water fed pole valve for soft washing

 

 

In this week’s video, Ben demonstrates how to fit our softwash sliding pole valve to a water fed pole and shows how the most common fittings can be used with it.

So why is this valve such a game-changer for contractors?

  • On/Off control at height – No more running back to the pump or trigger. Simply open or close the valve while you work.

  • Save chemical & water – Instantly stop flow between passes, reducing overspray and waste.

  • Work faster & safer – Stay in position on the pole without interruptions, keeping both feet safely on the ground. its weight can be used to counter balance the pole when at full extension which reduces operator fatigue.

  • Compatible fittings – Designed to work with the most common water fed pole set-ups, making it easy to integrate into your system.

  • Durable build – Engineered to withstand regular professional use in tough site conditions.

In practice the sliding valve is one of the most useful pieces of kit you can add to your system.

It gives you complete control of chemical flow right at the top of the pole. Instead of running back and forth to the trigger or pump, you can shut off or start flow instantly while staying in position. 

Being able to feather or stop the flow immediately is the difference between a controlled, professional application and wasting chemical through overspray. 

Softwashing is all about working smarter, safer and more efficiently. The sliding pole valve is a small piece of equipment, but once you’ve used it you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.
