Window Cleaning

Please Note: This product listing is for the Vertigo™️ standard style configuration for the new Hydra Waterfed poles.

*Each pole requires one fly lead, purchased separately. 

You'll need to choose pole length, pole construction (material) and size brush. All Vertigo™️ poles come standard with a water fed angle crank which is adjustable. The water flows through the angle crank, preventing any exposed tubing outside the pole.

Brushes are commercial grade and available in 14 in. and 18 in. sizes with Rinse Bar and Pencil Jets as standard.

There are three small options available not listed in the drop-down menu. You can optionally substitute Fan Jets (instead of Pencil Jets). Also you can choose a Flocked Brush if you intend on cleaning cladding or delicate surface cleaning. Lastly you can choose a Lightweight Brush (less bristles to lighten overall head weight).

Please contact us for a custom quote if you intend on substituting for a Fan Jet, Flocked Brush or Lightweight Brush.  If you want to own the standard style AND add other brush versions they are listed on our website separately and can be easily added to your cart before checkout.

Ionic Hydra™️ Waterfed Pole

Hydra is a lightweight but strong pole platform that window cleaners can configure based upon their specific needs. Therefore just like the mythical Greek serpent Ionic’s Hydra™️ pole is available with a number of head options.

Weight Savings

The first thing you notice about the Hydra™️ pole is just how light it is. Ionic has really focused on weight reduction and have reduced the wall thickness of every pole section, resulting in significant weight savings and maintained rigidity. Narrow handles provide a more comfortable grip. In order to achieve Ionic's lightest ever pole, every component came under scrutiny, with weight savings being made on nearly every part, from clamps to levers.

One Finger Operation Clamps

The second thing you notice are the next generation clamps on the Hydra™️ pole, with slick one finger operation and adjustment these clamps feature patent pending spring assisted release to reduce tube section wear. In addition, the clamps are carefully crafted to ensure tight closure time after time,  year after year.

Protector™️ Handle as Standard

The final thing you notice is that every Hydra™️ pole comes standard with Ionic’s unique Protector handle. The only waterfed pole to meet the British Standard for electrical safety is available to you at no extra cost. It seems that there is barely a month that goes by without news of a window cleaner electrocuted at work. Whilst safer than ladders Ionic believes that waterfed poles should be a no-risk alternative. 

Important: A Special Note About the Protector Handle

The bottom section of the pole is the only section that is double insulated, giving protection up to 1000 volts. If the operator uses it in proximity of a higher voltage, there is a risk of it jumping from the carbon sections and electrocuting the operator. It is absolutely essential that the operator or supervisor does a risk assessment prior to undertaking work using this pole. In areas of greater electrocution risk we recommend using a fully fiber glass pole up to 30ft.

Configurable Brush Heads

Hydra™️ is a lightweight but strong pole platform that window cleaners can configure based upon their specific needs. Therefore just like the mythical Greek serpent Ionic’s HydraTM pole is available with a number of head options.

Head Options

The Hydra™️ range adopted the tried and tested heads of Ionic's previous Grafter™️, Glyder™️, Swift ™️ and Vertigo™️ waterfed poles. This means you can select your preferred head and brush assembly, and benefit from the numerous features that are standard on the Hydra™️ pole range, including; light weights, compact sizes, next generation clamps, tubeless storage, protective handle and water-flow shut off.

Features

Hydra™️ Features

TUBELESS QUICK CONNECTION

Push fit style connection allows for quick connection to and from the pole, saving you time and money. The twist and lock feature within the protective housing prevents accidental separation during use.

WATER FLOW SHUT OFF Allows the user the shut the water flow off by crimping the tube, meaning the pole can be left unsupervised with no water flowing, reducing unnecessary water usage and saving money.

SPRING LOADED CLAMPS

Combined with wear resistant telescopic tubes, Ionic’s patent pending spring assisted pole clamps ensures smooth action, whilst minimizing wear in the pole sections. While other designs insure that poles remain clamped as the section wears, our focus was to engineer out factors that contribute to pole tube wear in the first place. In doing so Ionic’s poles last considerably longer, retain their performance and save you money over time.

FlyLeads

Hydra FlyLeads

Hydra™️ is a tubeless pole, making it neat and tidy when storing in your van. The pole hose, known as a fly lead, is stored on your hose reel when not in use. Choosing the correct fly lead for your Hydra™️ is dependent on how it is going to be used. For example, if you have one 32ft Hydra™️ then you will require a 16 meter fly lead. But if you have multiple size poles then you only need to have a fly lead to fit your longest pole, so if you had a 32ft and a 55ft Hydra, a 22 meter fly lead would cover both poles. *If you have more than one operator then a fly lead per hose reel will be required.

When purchasing an Ionic Systems vehicle mounted, pure water window cleaning system a fitting kit is required.

This kit contains most of  the miscellaneous parts needed to adapt the system to your vehicle.

Please choose they style needed from the drop down menu.

The Portage Fusion™ from Ionic Systems is the ultimate de-mountable pure water window cleaning system—designed for professionals who demand flexibility, performance, and safety. Easily slide the system in and out of your van or truck in minutes, giving you a fully functional work vehicle during the week and a personal one on weekends.

Efficient and Flexible Design

Available in 105-gallon (400L) and 211-gallon (800L) options, the Portage Fusion™ allows complete removal without tools—simply disconnect the battery quick connector, remove the mounting pin, and lift out the tank. Store it safely until your next job.

High-Performance Filtration

Engineered as a five-stage RO/DI system, the Fusion model includes Ionic’s advanced PFS™, ROMS™, and PDI™ technologies, producing up to 3 liters of ultra-pure water per minute (depending on supply pressure). It’s ideal for consistent, spotless window cleaning results on commercial and residential projects.

Smart, Ergonomic Construction

The Portage Fusion™ features an ergonomic layout for easy access to controls and filters, along with a convenient tool tray for poles and accessories. The 211-gallon model offers optional stainless steel hose reels accessible via side doors, ensuring efficient workflow on every job.

Engineered for Maximum Safety

Safety is built into every detail. Inspired by Ionic’s Thatcham crash test program, the Portage™ tank system incorporates FMVSS-208 compliant brackets and a design that minimizes forward tank movement in the event of a collision—protecting both the operator and vehicle occupants.

Simple Installation and Connectivity

Mounting in a Pickup Truck-

A fitting kit is not required for Portage™ tanks that are carried in pickup vehicles. It is however recommended that Portage™ tanks that completely fill the load space are selected. Although it is not a requirement, it is also recommended that Portage™ tanks are secured with ‘tie-down’ straps when transported in pickup type vehicles. If tie-down straps are not used then it is recommended to use wooden blocks to prevent lateral and front to back movement of the tank

Mounting in a Van or on a flatbed trailer-

It must be understood that in the event of a head-on collision an unsecured heavy load need only move the driver and passenger seats forward a small distance for the pre-tensioned seat belts to cause fatal compression injuries. For this reason a Portage™ fitting kit must be installed by a competent person in all vans even when a bulkhead is present. In the event of a head on collision the fitting kits resists the forward movement of the Portage™ tank. The fitting instructions must be followed in every detail.

12 Volt Connection-

Bearing in mind the demountable nature of the Portage™ tank system, the standard 12v connection is made by means of a quick connect fly-lead that plugs into the cigarette lighter. For more permanent installations are intended other more robust 12v power sources with split charging and quick connections are available as optional extras.

Professional-Grade Flexibility

Whether you’re operating a single van or managing a fleet, the Ionic Systems Portage Fusion™ delivers unmatched versatility, performance, and peace of mind. Contact your Clean Direct Representative to configure your system or request a custom quote.

The Endura’s cutting-edge clamp system enables quick adjustments and secure locking during operation, making it the ideal choice for professionals seeking a high-performance cleaning solution.

Revolutionary Anti-Rotational Design

In 2016, Ionic Systems began developing an anti-rotational water fed pole to address a common challenge faced by window cleaning professionals.

IONIC HYDRA Waterfed Pole Convertible Handle

These pole handles are specifically to convert a 65 ft pole with a 7.3 ft protector handle to a 45 ft pole with a 7.3 ft protector handle. 

Many times professional window cleaners just use the 65 ft size pole in a limited capacity...let's say one or two buildings that need it, but the majority of their work is at 45 ft or less. 

This product saves money by giving the operator both height capabilities but trims the weight for the lower heights. This also reduces the need for 2 separate poles.

Traditionally the 45 ft pole comes with a 6.3 ft handle (collapsed length). We have the special sized Convertible handle at 7.3 ft so you can reduce the 65 ft pole down to a more frequently used 45 ft pole size. The only caveat is that it's 1 ft longer at a collapsed length of 7.3 ft. (noted for transport/storage purposes)

Please choose between carbon fiber and carbon fiber plus.

V4™ is version 4 of The Reach & Wash System first launched in 1997.

The V4™ truck-mount pure water professional window cleaning system has seen significant improvements over the lifespan of its development. 10% weight reduction and a lower center of gravity has improved vehicle handling.

It boasts tech options to improve filter performance, RO membrane life and water quality.

Tech Features:

• PFS™ Periodic Flush System - On start up this feature automatically flushes the Reverse Osmosis Membrane for a period of 2 minutes. Thereafter the RO flushes for 2 minutes every hour during the filling process.
• ROMS™ Reverse Osmosis Maintenance System - At the end of each tank fill, pure water is diverted to the RO membrane housing. Leaving the RO membrane bathing in pure water between fills ensures that dissolved solids (found in tap water) do not foul the membrane. Further, dissolved solids that are not removed from the membrane surface during Periodic Auto Flush cycles are absorbed by the pure water during the "rest period" to be flushed away during the first flush on startup.
• PDI™ - Perpetual De-ionization - This feature considerably extends DI resin contact time. Ultra purification is achieved by repeated exposure of purified water to the final DI polishing stage.

System Features:

• Digital Flow Control -  Auto-compensating digital flow control allows precise operation of the pumps
• Dual TDS Monitoring - The TDS of the water at critical stages is monitored and shown on a control-mounted digital gauge
• Tank Sight Gauge - Fast and accurate view of the water level in the tank
• Fully Baffled Tank - Black polypropylene tank with advanced baffling for increased vehicle stability
• Twin Pumps - The V4™ has two independently controlled pumps allowing more than one cleaning pole to be used at the same time (each produces up to 4 liters per minute per pole)
• Pump Activation
• Easy Refillable Filters - The filter media cartridge is simply replaced when spent
• Stainless Steel Chassis - Covered by our 10-year warranty
• Battery Charger - Integrated mains-powered CTEK battery charger (optional)

5 Stages of Filtration:

1. Carbon
2. Sediment
3. Reverse Osmosis
4. De-Ionization
5. Perpetual De-Ionization

Special Note:

An Ionic Systems In-line Water Softener is highly recommended for use in hard water areas. It can prolong the life of the RO Membrane. These are sold separately and can be found here.
