Play video: The truck rig behind a Coral Gables exterior and window cleaning

This walk-around shows the ground side of the Belmont Village job in Coral Gables: the truck rig that feeds the drone working the facade overhead. Every drop that reaches the glass passes through this rig first.

This clip is part of our high-rise window cleaning work in Miami.

Why the water decides how the glass dries

Ordinary tap water leaves spots. As it dries on glass, its dissolved minerals stay behind as a white film, and the South Florida sun dries a wet window fast. Hand crews deal with that by squeegeeing every pane, which nobody can do from a drone.

Pure water removes the problem at the source. Once the minerals are filtered out, there is nothing left to dry on the glass, so windows can be rinsed and left to dry on their own without spotting. The rig, not the aircraft, is where window quality is decided.

When you compare window cleaning quotes, ask how the final rinse water is treated and how it is checked on site. Unfiltered water at height leaves spots that nobody can reach to wipe off.

What you are seeing

A ground-level walk around the truck during the Belmont Village project, tracing the water path that feeds the drone: carbon block filters, a DI resin tank, and the hot-water system where the cleaning solution is injected, with the drone working the facade overhead.

The order of the water path is the point: carbon block filters strip sediment and chlorine, reverse osmosis takes out most dissolved solids, the DI resin tank polishes out the rest to 0 TDS, the water is heated, and the cleaning solution is injected into the hot water before it reaches the glass at low pressure. That complete chain, not any single stage, is what leaves windows spotless with no hand-drying.

About this project

This footage was filmed at Belmont Village Coral Gables, an occupied senior-living high-rise. Vista Drone Cleaning cleaned more than 130,000 square feet of exterior (facade, windows, floor surfaces and the parapet) at $0.20 per square foot, all in, in seven days, with no scaffolding, swing stages, rope access or lifts and no closures. Management asked Vista back on a semi-annual schedule, twice a year. Read the Belmont Village case study.
