Window cleaning water fed pole pump box

Window cleaning water fed pole pump box
Housing your water fed pole pump in your vehicle and the
advantages of a pump box.

Your water pump is a very important part of your window
cleaning system. It is one of the very few moving parts,
and is responsible for getting pure water from your tank in
your van to the window you hope to clean.

There are two methods currently for housing your pump in
your vehicle.

1/ attaching the basic pump to the water tank frame, or
attaching to the side panel of your vehicle.

2/ fitting your pump in a box, and then releasable securing
the box to the water tank frame, or side panel of the van.

The method in 1/ above restricts the removal of the pump
from the vehicle which can be a big disadvantage overnight
in freezing conditions. Much better to be able to take
your pump indoors to prevent damage, and have it ready for
work the next day.

The method 2 above, with a disconnection of two quick
connect pipes, and the disconnection of a battery plug can
be lifted off its mountings in seconds and taken indoors at
nigh very easily, and the pump will be ready for work in
the morning.

So what is involved in setting the pump up in a box like 2/
above? Quite simply the pump is secured inside the box
itself with the use of the 4 screw holes in the pump
housing. Once the pump is secured inside the box then two
simple brackets are fitted to the outside of the box, these
brackets are used to releasable secure the pump box to the
tank frame or the panels on the side of the van. Two
bulkhead connectors are then fitted to the pump box, one
inlet and one outlet a battery plug is also fitted for easy
disconnection and reconnection of the battery. The other
advantage is of course all the pump wiring is kept tidy and
secure inside the protective box, resulting in much less
corrosion of the wiring.

The window cleaner after his day's work can simply
disconnect the inlet and outlet pipes, and disconnect the
battery plug from the outside of the pump box, and take the
whole thing indoors.

Some window cleaning water fed pole supply companies sell
their systems with pumps supplied in boxes as standard, and
some don't. If your supplier is one who doesn't, then it
is an easy job to do yourself.
