Has anyone seen the advert in CHT for ionics, it has a wc up a ladder in a fuzzy picture saying "I bought a cheap pole system. I didnt get on with it so I'm glad theres a loophole in the guidance so i can still use my ladders".
Then there is a clear picture with a wc saying " I invested in The Reach and Wash System and BWCA training. Now I,m earning twice as much and growing my business by addressing customers safety concerns".

What a load of tosh, no not the ex army moderator but a joke.

Come on i want any wc out there to admit not 'getting on with there cheap pole system'. Tell us about those cracking arguements that sent you back up a ladder! Did it end in a divorce, are you still in touch with your ex!

What about all those who have 'addressed your customers safety concerns' with a ionic system. How do you get on? Did ionics and BWCA not only train you to use the system but thoughtfully give you relationship advice?

What do they think with that advert, are they suggesting that if you don't buy ionics you will go back to ladders and not address customers saftey needs?

Ionics if you are listening dont patronise the rest of us who dont share your philosophy on the world!

"I bought a cheap pole system. I didnt get on with it ".
Ionics if you are listening dont patronise the rest of us who dont share your philosophy on the world!

well, I bought a cheap ionics pole and brush and did'nt get on with it!
and so I made my own and it was a vast improvement!
I see so many wc's round my way having forked out a lot for a system, lucky we are all in the know hey ?
Some companies will always push their product with scare tactics or hype. Fortunately we have this forum to provide a wealth of advice and help us make an informed decision, thanks alot everyone

Had a bad day at work Alan?

I dont see no metion in that advert about these so called "cheap pole systems"!! and we all know they all do the same job, lets not start this one again fellas, I can bring up many plus points, and obviously so can you.

One thing that really gets to me about that pic, is its that fat guy from the fed's lad up that ladder, its a joke.

Mr A Lee, your guy up a ladder wont be hands on a window at 40ft he wont be no were near it!!!!!!!!!

[P®oPole™]

Understand what you are saying caustic, one thing that got me thinking recently was, you might of posted it previously or someone else, ionics residential systems could actually take customers away from us, why sell them to us and then our customers?

any joy with that willseden job mate?

[JM123]

propole how you getting on with your Ionics setup?

[P®oPole™]

Hi JM123,

Yea its good as gold mate, never let me down, hopefully I will have a fleet of pro-7's one day  need to treat myself to a couple of new poles soon and I might go micro-bore.

Do you sell equipment? or have I got that wrong.

[JM123]

yeah I do sell equipment mate - def go microbore, you won't regret it, why do you want a fleet of pro7? 

[P®oPole™]

I want to get microbore but am undecided, I run two poles from one pump quite alot will this affect the flow?

I do like the Pro7 its does it all, saying that a static with thermo's would do.

what I dont get is how comes the thermo costs so much more than the Pro7 and the 7 is a heated system and has zero waste.

why is it cheaper do you think?

[Extremeclean]

Pro Pole

I think it may have been me that mentioned these so called residential systems that are aimed at the owner of the property, however they are disguised.

As a matter of principle I refuse to give my money to any suppler or manufacturer that offers these for sale. I am all for any company making a profit because all companies have to to survive but I draw the line at offering the competition my own money. In effect that is what I would be doing with these companies.

Recently I saw an advert somewhere in which a certain "reach and wash" company was advertising for sales people to promote their residential systems.
Make of it what you will but I see it as direct competition.

[P®oPole™]

Hi Extremeclean,

Were did you see this advert? I dont think they would do that, I very much doubt they sell many residential kits to the home owner if any at all. Its not worth the marketing infact I dont recall seeing them in the new 2006 brochure I maybe wrong.

[Extremeclean]

Go to  "Home"  then recruitment Pro Pole.  Look at the last advert on the page.

I could be wrong but it does say residential systems there.

i have a thermo pure which is superb i have changed some things like the very
expensive colour change resin with 25 litre  di vessel
 colour change filter 6litre resin last about 2 months £88
 25 litres mb400 last about 10 months £79
changed the awful crappie brushes for 16 inch vikan now everything is perfect at the moment

I dont see no metion in that advert about these so called "cheap pole systems"!! and we all know they all do the same job,

So why would you spend thousands on a system which is no more effective a its job than any other professional system?  The reason I ask is I see it as a complete waste of money to buy Ionics and the like, not trying to put them down but i  do think for the money you could and should get an awful lot more.

[P®oPole™]

I think thats quite an old advert, there website needs updating they havent even got there new systems on there and I cant see the residential kits.

loads of suplliers websites need to be sorted out, pure2o and omnipole's to mention a couple I never have any joy on either of them, Carl or Glyn is it my computer or your websites?

Ionics are a company as said and have to make profits even if they do still sell residential kits the odds that one of my customers buying one are very very slim, so im not botherd at all. Things im botherd about are people slagging down wfp especialy high figures in this industry, why is this such a grey area on this forum, you know what im talking about!

[P®oPole™]

JM123 ive said before why mate,

the sheer marketing tool of The Reach and Wash System is one thing, which aint no reason to buy the system, but worth alot to my business.

Crash Tested, feeling safe while driving is another, straps are probably as good but I like my tatcham crash tested clamps holding my tank down which are capable of taking 640 tonnes shooting foward.

ready built no hassle of breaking down to mention a few.

its like anything mate if you was buying a new merc and had the money wouldnt you get all the extras, I would love a Pro7 twin R.O twin pumps, dual hose ports on both sides of van, hopefully next year

Do you have a website JM123?

[P®oPole™]

Caustic,

Why do you want to join the fed? Mr Lee aint doing your business no favors mate is he, have you seen the news night clips?

[alansavvi]

i dont want to join the fed i was thinking of joining the new one, apwc.
