What is UV-C light? UV-C light is widely known for its remarkable ability to eliminate germs and pathogens. Here's how it works: UV-C light emits electromagnetic radiation at a specific wavelength, typically between 100 and 280 nanometers. When this light interacts with the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms, it damages their genetic material, disrupting their ability to reproduce and ultimately causing them to die. This process effectively rids the environment of harmful organisms, resulting in a safer and cleaner space. In simpler terms, it's like using a powerful light to neutralize the genetic code of germs, rendering them harmless....

  In this video Ionic Systems explains water quality and how water, water fed poles, water purification systems and methods for cleaning have changed over the years. Traditionally window cleaning has been a dangerous activity since much of the cleaning at height is done from ladders, which are inherently treacherous. In the past, to avoid water marks, window cleaners have always wiped windows clean with a towel or squeegee. This meant they had to be close to the glass to get the job done. This all changed back in 1992 when Ionic Systems added pure water to water fed poles...

Hot (Warm) or Cold Water Window Cleaning? If hot, what is the optimal water temperature for cleaning windows? Let's start with temperatures, when we say hot we really mean warm. We don't want water to be too hot and then applied to a cold window...it can cause it to crack. It's difficult to put a finger on the actual temperature of the water and the glass in order to make it crack...it depends on the quality of the glass. But to be safe we heat the water to a "warm" temperature, enough to significantly improve the cleaning but not too...
