PowerWand

[john orr]

Have any of you used the Coress PowerWand? I understand that it can be extended to 60'? Price?

 

[Steven Rowlet]

John, I have a 36' one. $399.95 + shipping and yes extenions can be added to extent to 60'. What do you want to do with it?

Steve, using a 25 degree tip, what do you assess the maximum usuable pressure / flow rate to be through the Corress? I am using Al wands coupled to 16 feet for brick cleaning jobs (i.e. brick by brick, not a rinse off mode). Can effectively use up to about 2500 psi, but often need higher pressure. Would the Corress correct this problem?

How about a 0 degree tip (less whip action = better control)?

Bill, You should be able to use the full pressure of your machine with this wand. I would recommend using a belt with this wand to help balance. The tip fan should not affect the control of the wand. If you are using regular 1/4" lances coupled together I can see where you are having a stability problem.

Thanks Steven. Don't need to use a high extension very often, but it makes sense for me to check out the Corress.

Bill, This wand is like most better quality equipment, it doesn't compare with the cheap wands. I use mine with the pitchwitch for the most part. On most houses the X-Jet is all that is needed. I will use this wand for extremely dirty gutters on two story houses. I believe it will outlast the cheaper ones and in the long run be the better buy.

Steve, I too want to use it with a PitchWitch or something I create from a water broom. Where did you get yours?

 

[Steven Rowlet]

John, It came from Ace Cleaning Service 866-788-5074. Ask for Glenn.

John,when i purchased my 32 foot corress wand,i too wanted a 60 footer,i am glad i only got the 32 because it gets to be very heavy to carry around doing 20 foot jobs with all the extra material, the corress wand telescopes inside each tubes so the more tubes you have the heavier it will be,you just cant disconnect tubes your not using.

Bill,i use the corress wand on two story brick cleaning jobs as well
and its more stable then the aluminum wands at that height.

great wand,i am happy with mine.

according to coress the poles have quick connects at each pole section enabling one to not have to use the entire pole?

 

[john orr]

I too understood it had the quick connects, but I would only use this on roofs, so as long as it gives me distance/height, it will work. Since I don't use pressure above the foundation, a 4' is usually all I need for most 2 story buildings.

 

[timhays]

i forgot,i believe they do sell a quick connect system,it may be a lowpressure version i am not sure.

I see an extra pole attaches some place to control the powerwand in extra long lenths.the question is then its all said and done can 2 guys wash low pressure at 60 ft?If so,how does the weight compare to a tucker pole at 60ft with a second guy roped to the brush end bouncing it window to window.In other words fatigue factor!4 story glass is the rubicon of the window cleaning trade.could someone post the specs?
