Leading the Way for over 15 Years The Reach & Wash® system was first introduced in 1997 in Birmingham, England.

It’s no exaggeration to say that this innovation has changed the way window cleaners work all over

the world. Now, the Reach & Wash® system is a global success story, and innovation is still at the heart

of what we do. We continue to push the boundaries of new technology with ongoing commitment to

research and development.

Our new Zero™ system is at the cutting edge of pure-water cleaning technology and incorporates

several features that will enable window cleaners to work more efficiently.

Not least of these is the ability to achieve water purity of Zero parts per billion, a thousand times purer

than previously possible. The water produced is so pure, it can dissolve more impurities, meaning

easier cleaning and less rinse water is needed.

Ionic Systems continues to be a global business, and the biggest supplier of pure-water cleaning

systems in the UK, Europe and the World.

Ionic Systems has distributors in more than 30 countries and exports to over a hundred worldwide.

VAN-MOUNTED SySTEMSthe enduRIng APPeALVehicle and Trailer based systems offer the greatest amount of flexibility,

allowing the window cleaner to take the supply of pure water wherever it is

needed. With no need to access a water or power supply, mobile systems

allow pure-water cleaning to be performed even in the remotest of areas.

Getting the water pure is a crucial part of the process. Reach & Wash systems incorporate several stages of water treatment so that the water is purified as the tank is filled.

Most users set their system up to fill overnight ready for work in the morning. Filling times vary depending on the size of the system, water pressure etc.

Maintenance of the water-treatment system is straightforward, and in the case of the Zero, mostly automatic.

Full Packageeverything is in the van

The vast majority of systems sold are installed into vehicles. These may be relatively small, car-derived vans able to carry a system of 300 litres, right up to large vans with 1,000 litre systems.

The reason that van-mounted systems are so popular is that they give the window cleaner flexibility. Taking a supply of pure water with you means you’re able to clean wherever you go, with no need to rely on outside water sources.

The window cleaner simply fills their system (usually overnight) and a full tank is ready for work in the morning. It couldn’t be simpler.

Why so popular?

van-mounted

Special ports installed into the side of the van allow the pure water to be pumped to the pole, all while the van is securely locked.

With a tank of pure water with you, you can clean anywhere. Simply plug in the hose and start cleaning. What could be simpler?

de-iOniSATiOnTwo types of special ion-exchanging

resins are used to swap out any remaining ions for Hydrogen and

hydroxide ions to give H2O. Usually these two resin types are mixed

together to form “mixed bed” resin.

A highly effective water treatment, but relatively expensive, and so

often only used as the final stage in a water-treatment system.

WATeR SOFTeningA type of ion-exchange resin is used to swap out calcium and magnesium ions

and replace them with sodium ions, and prevents calcium deposits forming on the membrane. This type of resin may

be regenerated with salt. Adding sodium to the water also instantly forms salt

crystals on remaining impurities so that they become too big to pass through

the RO membrane. Improving RO performance prolongs the life of the DI

filter and reduces running costs.

CARbOn FiLTRATiOnCarbon filters are most effective at

removing chlorine, sediment, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

from water. If not removed, these would damage the RO membrane.

Activated Carbon neutralizes Ozone gas after it has done its work. 5 miCROn

FiLTRATiOn5 Micron filters remove solid particulates larger than 0.005mm in size. Ensures RO membrane performance.

ReveRSe OSmOSiSAn advanced water treatment process where water is forced under pressure through a semi-permeable membrane. Highly effective and economical, RO will remove about 97% of the dissolved solids even in hard water areas. However, the membranes are delicate and easily damaged by chlorine and other impurities, which must be removed before this stage.

ULTRAviOLeT geRmiCidAL

iRRAdiATiOn (Uvgi)UVGI is a disinfection method

that uses ultraviolet light at sufficiently short wavelength to

kill microorganisms. Within water treatment it is highly effective

against water-bourne hazards such as the Legionella bacterium.

LOW LeveL OZOnATiOnOzonation is a disinfection method that uses Ozone. Ozone is a gas with strong oxidizing properties capable of destroying a wide range of pathogens, including prions. Prevents bio-film and prolongs filter life.

Stages of Water Treatment

multi-Stage TreatmentEach of these treatment methods remove different types of impurities. Reverse osmosis is a highly robust, effective and economical purification process, but as the membranes are delicate, water entering them must first be pre-treated. UVGI, Ozonation, Softening, Carbon and 5 Micron filtration are all pre-treatment stages for RO systems.

The Zero™

Power supply not required while in use. Mains power is required for boosted fill.

Water Supply not required while in use. Water supply is required when filling.

The Zero represents the Ultimate in Pure water Window Cleaning Systems.The most advanced Reach & Wash® System ever, Ionic’s new Zero™ produces ultra pure water at zero parts per billion (0ppb) and that represents the gold standard. Water at 0ppb is one thousand times purer than water at 0ppm and because pure water cleans by dissolving dirt ions, it follows that water at 0ppb is capable of dissolving much more dirt and grime than water of 0ppm. This means faster cleaning, especially on infrequent jobs.

Other systems remove only dissolved solids from the water supply, uniquely the Zero removes both dissolved solids and all organics as well as bacteria from the water supply. The result is not only water that is 1,000 times purer but also ultra pure water that is free from micro-organisms such as legionella bacteria and the organic matter that bacteria feeds upon. A significant benefit is that bio-film cannot form upon the surface of filter media or the RO membrane that means that filters maintain day one performance which in turn means lower running costs.

The Zero can be upgraded with high pressure stainless steel filter housings and a powerful booster pump, enabling even faster filling.

Note: A conventional zero parts per million version is also available.

Ideal for installing into a vehicle or trailer.

The Zero offers the following benefits;

• Fully Automated - connect water supply, switch on and forget

• Automated Softener backwash• Automated RO flushing• Automated RO Optimisation• New replaceable cartridge filter system• Running costs reduced by up to 30%• Digital control panel for fully

Everyone knows that using hot water for cleaning produces better results. Just as water that is highly purified has greater dissolving capacity, so too does hot water.

The Zero’s Hot Water upgrade enables the system to heat the pure water (using a diesel burner) up to 80°C in minutes.

bOOSTed FiLL

A powerful, mains-powered water pump boosts the pressure of the inlet water when filling, which dramatically improves the rate of pure-water production.

Essential in areas of low water pressure, but also very useful even if the mains water pressure is adequate. The boosted fill upgrade can fill the tank up to three times faster than mains water pressure alone.

One Part per billion: In comparison, one part per bil-lion would be approximately one teaspoon of calcium carbonate dissolved in 1,000,000 litres of water, or 1,000 IBC tanks of water.

One Part per million: One part per million of total dissolved solids means that, for every million molecules of water there will be one molecule of some impurity (mainly calcium carbonate in the UK). This is approximately 1 teaspoon of calcium carbonate dissolved in 1,000 litres of water.

One Part per Million:One gram of dissolved impurities per thousand litres

One Part per Billion:One gram of dissolved impurities per miLLiOn litres

million vs billion What does it mean?Most window cleaners who use waterfed pole are familiar with measuring the quality of their pure water in Parts Per million (ppm) of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). But what exactly does this mean? And how does water purified to the part per million compare with water that is purified to the part per billion?


Superior Cleaning PowerWhen building owners’ budgets are squeezed, window cleaning frequency is often hit. This means dirtier windows, but no additional budget to cover the extra time needed to clean them.

This is where the Zero™ PPB system will prove invaluable. The higher purity water slices through baked-on grime, even on less-frequently cleaned windows.

When combined with the ThermopureTM heated water upgrade, the Zero™ offers cleaning power that’s second to none.

Give your business the edge with superior results on challenging cleans in less time.

Window cleaners who have used the Zero PPB system report time savings as great as 40% on less frequently cleaned windows.

the BILLIon dIFFeRenCethe PRACtICAL BeneFItS oF ZeRo PARtS PeR BILLIon Some may wonder about the need for water of such high purity, and what the real benefits are. Those who have actually used 0-PPB water for window cleaning see the difference immediately. The cleaning power of 0-PPB pure water has to be seen to be believed!

Zero Tolerance on grime!As budgets are squeezed and frequencies cut, The Zero™ PPB System can help you retain your edge!

• ZeRO PARTS PeR miLLiOn

Multi-stage water treatment with advanced recirculation system produces water with purity of less than 1 part per million of TDS.

• TWin PUmPS

The Zero™ has, as standard, two independently controlled pumps allowing more than one pole to be used at the same time. This allows the option of several operators working from the same system.

• SPLiT-ChARge ReLAY

As well as a mains charger, the Zero™ has a split-charge device. This maintains the system’s battery by actively monitoring and managing the charge available from the vehicle’s alternator.

• AUTOmATed FLUSh & Regen CYCLe

The Zero™ is designed to keep the RO membrane and other filters in the best condition possible by automatically flushing the RO membrane before each fill and regenerating the water-softener filter at the end.

• digiTAL COnTROL

Auto-compensating digital flow control allows precise operation of the pumps. Simple operation and clear display makes setting and adjusting flow straightforward. When filling, the control panel also shows the status of the flush & regen cycle.

A ThOUSAnd TimeS beTTeRWindow Cleaners who use Reach & Wash® systems know that the purity of their water is of paramount importance. Even a relatively low TDS value can lead to spotting, as these dissolved solids are left behind after the water dries. But there is more to consider than the impurities in the water to begin with.

A certain volume of water has the capacity to dissolve only so much before it becomes saturated. For example, a glass of water can only dissolve so much table salt. If any more is added after saturation, it simply sits in the bottom of the glass in solid form.

Similarly, the water used for cleaning can only dissolve a certain amount before it becomes saturated. If you have fewer impurities to begin with, then there is more dissolving capacity for cleaning. The purer the water used, the better it will be at dissolving dirt.

This means less water is needed for rinsing, and a far greater certainty of spot-free results!

Why Zero Parts Per billion?• Less Water needed for Rinsing

• Spot-free Results even on First Cleans

• More Aggressive Cleaning

• Lower Running Costs

• ReFiLLAbLe FiLTeRS

Completely redesigned filter housings allow the filter media to be replaced without the need to replace the whole unit.

Static SystemsFor businesses that have (or plan to have) several window cleaning vehicles on the road, a fleet solution will be the right choice. This option separates the system into two distinct parts; The static system and the delivery system.

The static water treatment system is installed in a permanent location (usually an industrial unit, garage or outhouse) which continually fills one or more large tanks with pure water. The stored pure water is then transferred into the tank of a “delivery system” which is installed in a van or trailer. Delivery systems are designed just to ‘deliver’ the pure water, i.e. they have little or no water treatment onboard, but have the same crash-tested chassis and control gear as our other systems.

We all know that using hot water for cleaning produces better results. Heated ultra pure water is less dense and so absorbs dirt more readily and dries more quickly to an incredible finish.

Breezes through initial cleans and shifts even the most stubborn residues. Great in Winter but equally useful in Summer when cold water would turn to steam on sunbaked glazing. If you demand the best then Ther-mopure™ is for you!

Thermopure™ heaters use diesel from either the vehicle’s fuel tank Reach & Wash® ThermopureTM Systems or a separate remote tank that can be filled with red diesel for economy. The highly efficient heat exchanger lifts the temperature quickly up to 80 degrees. Water in the tank can be preheated while on the move, or be heated at point of use.

In a “time is money” business such as window cleaning a little snow and ice can freeze your assets and stop you earning. When cold waterfed pole systems freeze to a stand still, Ionic Systems’Thermopure™ delivers heated pure water and fantastic cleaning results. In Poland Thermopure™ customers routinely work in temperatures as low as -15°C.

Next time you try to use a waterfed pole in freezing conditions imagine the luxury of Thermopure™ heated water warming your hands through the pole handle while you work*.

Lost days mean lost income and falling behind on your program of work. during the summer months ther-mopure™ outperforms on initial cleans, hot tinted glazing, cladding and fascia surfaces. Impacted soilage simply doesn’t stand a chance.

Hot water cleans betterThermopureThe Zero™ and the V4™ can be upgraded to hot water. The Zero™ has a special Thermopure™ version, wherein the diesel burner is incorporated within the stainless steel frame. The V4 is upgraded by means of the Thermopure HotBox, an external water heating unit.


The Thermopure hotbox™

The Thermopure HotBox allows a coldwater system to be upgraded to hotwater. The HotBox uses the same diesel burners as our ThermopureTM systems, and are capable of supplying hot water within minutes of activation.

The 9kW HotBox has a winter/summer setting, and is powerful enough to provide piping hot water all year round.

TAking YOUR SAFeTY SeRiOUSLY Our Crash-Testing Programme ensures Your Safety

Quality without Compromise

All of our systems are certified compliant with the

FMVSS-208 standard.

The safety standards we all expectWaterfed pole systems require that a supply of pure-water be taken to the work-site, wherever that may be. The water is held in a large holding tank, often holding 600 or 1,000 litres of pure water - enough to last the window cleaner all day.

However, transporting this large tank of water is potentially very dangerous. Water is heavy, with 1,000 litres of water weighing a tonne. If the vehicle were to be involved in a traffic accident, there is a real danger that this very heavy water tank could break loose and cause severe injury to the driver and passengers of the vehicle.

It is for this reason that Ionic Systems commissioned an independent crash-testing programme at Thatcham Research, one of the UK’s leading vehicle crash-testing centres.

Ionic Systems remains the onLY manufacturer of waterfed pole equipment to supply systems that conform to the FMVSS-208 standard

The installation of a waterfed pole system con-stitutes a “vehicle modification” which usually must be specifically endorsed on your motor insurance policy.

We can provide you (and your insurer) with the assurance that the installation of our system complies with the Road Traffic Act, so you can be confident that your policy remains valid.

Vehicle Floor ProtectionRobust Vehicle FlooringWe can apply a hard-wearing, waterproof vehicle lin-ing that protects your van floor from rust, damage and water ingress.

With vehicle floor protection you won’t need to worry about water spillages, scratches or other damage that can occur to a hard-working van.

The lining is applied to the van floor and the lower sec-tion of the walls for maximum protection. Water sim-ply runs off without even coming into contact with the paintwork.

Floor protection can be applied to almost any vehicle, and is so robust that it lasts for years.

The QuattRO System is

perfect for situations where

there is access to both power and

a water supply on-site. They can

produce enough pure water to

clean with several poles up to

80ft, even in areas of relatively

low pressure.

The Quattro is the best point of use system for a wide variety of Window, Solar Panel and Hard Surface exterior cleaning applications. The tough, compact design and ease of use makes the Quattro the number one choice for work in any area where both mains water and electricity are available (a generator can also be used).

Window Cleaners make use of the Quattro to access remote parts of modern build-ings such as court-yards and roof tops for atrium cleaning. High-rise buildings where suspended platforms are used as well as the abseiling technique also benefit from short waterfed pole cleaning from rooftop Quat-tro use. On-site building maintenance teams also use the Quattro for in-house window and façade cleaning duties as well as spot-free car washing.

The QuattRO is available in three configura-tions. The standard QuattRO works from water pressure alone, and is suitable for a single operator to use at lower levels.

The QuattRO Electric uses a 240V (or 110V) pump to boost the water pressure, and can be used to clean to 80ft for a single operator, or lower heights for multiple operators.

The Quattro ‘S’ model is designed for high performance in the Worlds most demanding environments. Plastic filter housings may be prone UV degradation and to failure in tem-peratures above 30C. The ‘S’ model features high-pressure stainless steel filter housings that can withstand temperatures in direct sunlight of up to 50C. Because the pressure is boosted even further, the QuattRO ‘S’ can be used by several operators up to 80ft.

Water Softeners

Ionic Systems in-line ‘MultiSoft’ water softeners are the idea mobile water softener solution for any pure water cleaning system that does not come with a water softener as standard. The combi-nation of triple softeners and built-in salt canister simplifies both use in service and the backwash maintenance cycle. The foolproof design brings ease of maintenance and high capacity water sof-

tening performance to the window cleaning application.

MultiSoft™

Calcium Carbonate (commonly known as ‘limescale’) is found in most water supplies. Areas with very little Calcium in the water are referred to as Soft water areas, whilst areas with increased levels of Calcium are referred to as Medium or Hard water areas. People from Hard water areas are familiar with the harmful effects that hard water has on heating systems and other household appliances.

If not removed, Calcium in the water supply will have a detrimental effect on the Reverse Osmosis (RO) filter in your Reach & Wash System. The service life of the Thin Film Membrane found inside the RO filter housing will be reduced dramatically when calcium deposits form upon its surface. An RO membrane could last many years when a softener is used as a protection measure.

Water softeners offer two benefits, firstly harmful calcium is removed and secondly the remaining impu-rities are physically larger in size so fewer impurities can pass through the RO membrane.

Unlike other filters, softeners can be regenerated by backwashing with a saline solution, and as such can last many years.

Ionic Systems in-line ‘Caddy’ water softeners are available in two size options. According to the hardness (TDS) of the water either a single or triple and be used. A single filter Caddy for soft to medium hard water up to 300 TDS or a triple filter Caddy for Hard water areas above 300 TDS.

Caddy™ Softener

Softeners Prolong Filter Life


The Caddy is a versatile and simple-to-use system

that connects directly to a water supply.

No power supply is needed, though if using the

Reverse Osmosis unit, it is recommended that the

water pressure is at least 45psi (3 BAR)

The Caddy is available in three different

configurations (as well as the softeners);

As a single, double or triple DI unit for producing

small volumes of pure water for occasional jobs or

where local water is relatively soft (less than about

75ppm), or as an RO/DI unit for more frequent use

(in harder water areas it may also require the in-line

water softener option)

The caddy features open-ended filter housings with

replaceable cartridges.

The waterfed pole is the business end of the Reach & Wash® system. It’s the pole that you work with hour after hour, day in, day out.

For most comfortable use, the pole should be as light, as thin and as stiff as possible. For ease of use, it should also be as short as possible when collapsed.

We have produced three families of poles, each with their own characteristics and each suited to a certain type of work.

gRAFTeR 17ft - 32ft (See page 34) Carbon-glass fibre mix poles, ideal for residential work up to about 25ft, with the occasional need to reach a little higher. A very short collapsed length means ease of use at ground level. gLYdeR 25ft - 40ft (See page 35) Carbon fibre poles with excellent rigidity and lightness, as well as a short collapsed length. Great for residential and low-rise commercial where a 30-40ft reach is needed regularly. A real workhorse, for use all day, every day. Now with high-modulus “Plus” version. SWiFT 45ft - 80ft (See page 37) Carbon poles with unsurpassed rigidity and lightness. With extremely closely engineered tolerances between sections, the Swifts are designed specifically for medium to high level commercial work. Very narrow handle sections make this pole comfortable to use even for prolonged periods. Now with high-modulus “Plus” version.

P0594 9ft Mini Pole

THE GRAFTER 17FT TO 32FT REACH • Ideal Residential Pole

• Glass-Carbon Mix

• Low Cost yet Highly Durable

• Very Short Collapsed Length

The Grafter pole family has been carefully designed with the residential window cleaner in mind. With an amazingly short closed length of just 1.6m, the Grafter will fit into even the smallest of window cleaning vehicles with ease.

But despite its compact dimensions, the Grafter can reach up to 32ft, and thanks to the glass- carbon mix, still remains remarkably rigid, even at this height. And because of the carbon content

Hard wearing, low cost and compact in size, the Grafter is simply the ideal residential pole!

Transverse ClampsLighter and smaller, Ionic transverse clamps are fully adjustable and can be made left or right-handed

Residential headNon-curling monofilament nylon bristles and adjustable angle crank.

Plastic butt RingTo protect the foot of the pole against damage and prevent splintering.

Carbon-glass mixThe carbon-glass mix is a good balance between rigidity and lightness, and the carbon gives added durability.

non-kinking Pole hoseHard wearing yet flexible, Ionic non-kinking pole hose reduces snagging and catching.

Short Collapsed LengthAt just 1.6m when collapsed, the Grafter is easy to use at ground level, and is readily stored even in smaller vehicles.

THE gLYdeR25FT TO 40FT REACH • Full Carbon for Superb Rigidity

• Lightweight and Durable

• Short Collapsed Length of 1.99m

• Residential or Commercial Head

• Tougher and Stiffer “PLUS” version

The Glyder is a best-selling pole for a simple reason; it is very rigid, lightweight and easy to use.

The excellent rigidity makes the Glyder the pole of choice for cleaning at awkward angles, easily reaching over obstacles while remaining fully controllable.

Like all Ionic poles, the glyder is built to last, and the high-grade carbon fibre means the pole is extremely tough and robust.

The perfect balance between rigidity and lightness, the Glyder is the ideal pole for those who regularly work at 30-40 feet. Comfortable to use all day, every day.

the “PLuS” version has even higher grade carbon, for better rigidity and toughness.

Residential or Commercial headEither the adjustable residential head or the larger, commercial head can be supplied with the Glyder. Both have non-curling monofilament nylon bristles.



Carbon-FibreFull carbon pole for greater rigidity and durability, with high-modulus PLuS version.

Glyder poles are fitted with residential heads as standard, but can be upgraded to commercial heads for an additional £100. (The commercial head adds approximately 260g to the weight of the pole)

THE SWIFT45FT TO 80FT REACH • Full Carbon for Superb Rigidity

• Lightweight and Durable

• Narrow Handle Diameter for Ease of Use

• Commercial Head

• Tougher and Stiffer “PLUS” version

To clean at heights of 50, 60 and even 80 feet, a very special pole is needed. The SWIFT range has been specially designed to meet the needs of cleaning at these heights.

The Swift pole has unrivalled rigidity, and is the only composite telescopic pole available that can clean to 80ft.

But this outstanding rigidity has not come at the cost of weight or size. Thanks to a specially developed thermoplastic toughened matrix system (TMS), the Swift range is remarkably light-weight for such long-reaching poles and have amazingly narrow handle sections.

It is no surprise then, that window cleaners all over the world are using Swift poles to clean where previously only hydraulic platforms and abseiling techniques could reach!

Commercial headThe Ionic commercial head is extremely robust and optimized for commercial window cleaning. Available in 12”, 18” or 24” widths and a variety of gooseneck lengths (see page 35)



Swift poles are fitted 18” commercial heads as standard, but can be fitted with either 12” or 24” heads instead. They can also be fitted with “SwapTop” heads, allowing residential brushes and even traditional tools to be attached.

narrow handle SectionsVery comfortable to use, the narrowness of the handle sections means less ache on your forearms.

Pole Rigidity Comparisons

The more rigid a pole is, the easier it will be to use. To help show the

differences between our pole range, we extended them next to one another

and photographed the results.

the “PLuS” ranges have a higher grade of carbon fibre, and are therefore

stiffer. This effect can clearly be seen in the images below.
