Having purchased myself a window cleaning water fed pole.

This will be used soley for cleaning my windows and upvc cladding every 12 mths.

For cleaning windows approx 6wks intervals any tips for a suitable filter for pure water from the tap, such as a AquaHouse DI Car Wash water filter.

My window cleaner uses additive which requires no squeegee, just cleans window and dries smear free .
 
I suspect as many round here use Pure water which leaves no water marks and they use filters to remove the minerals and etc. Which allows the water on the windows to dry streak free.
 
Very good, I hadn't seen that before.
So, they are taking mains water (drinking water) removing "impurities" and making a water that has no benefits for us as a drinking water but is good for cleaning windows.
And, depending on what part of Britain you live in it might or might not be required.
 
I made a pole from a Screwfix window cleaning pole; 15m of microbore (garden irrigation) tubing and a connector to my garden hose. Ran the tube up the inside of the pole having drilled a hole to get it out the top. It adjusts itself as I adjust the length. £30. Yes it leaves a few streaks, but my windows are clean. I do them fortnightly. Cost for a clean round here, £15, IF you can get someone to show up. I'm such a mug!:D

just make sure to check that the water is purified enough, if its not then it will leave marks once dried
 
Our window cleaner that lives just across the road from us, makes his own in the back of his van. I often see him of a morning running a hose from his house to his van where it is cleaned/converted. He was moaning this week as it had frozen in his pumps due to the cold weather and if he tried to use them, it would just smash his pump.

My window cleaner has a heater in his van and a space blanket over the water tank to prevent freezing. funnily I as going to buy the equipment to clean my own windows but after having a chat with my window cleaning and looking up the poles they use with the brushes on from wfp.co.uk I gave up on that idea lol. they are very expensive and made from carbon fibre! this isn't formula 1 its window cleaning! and you cant just use water from the tap

That’s a good idea but I bet yours isn't paying twelve and a half quid to take his van out each day courtesy of that wonderful mayor Khan and his revenue raising tax. Our one is stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea as he can't afford a new kitted out van.
