If you don't at present use Water-Fed poles, lets find out the reasons why:

I think WFP systems are too expensive
I looked into it, but found it confusing so gave up
I think pole systems are a load of rubbish
I'm saving up for one right now!
I'm trying to learn about them so I know what to buy
I want to get one eventually, but not just yet
Other reason (please comment!)

Rosskesava have you got any commercial work to back you up with the WFP?

Also have you got a good business so that u can afford one, and not be struggling.

Id personally say if your round consists of terraced houses and no real big stuff or office work etc then dont bother yet but if you have all types of work, and got a good compact round. Just go out and get one and look at all the info to expand.

If your looking at all diff poles, theres a few of us residential guys with the omnitrolley from omnipole, it comes with a short tubing but im extending for longer work length.

I was like you um and arring but i just went out and got one in the end, when u got one your forced to get into it, and who knows maybe one day work wont be around without one. If your confused, im sure Duke on Msn messenger will help, hes currently helping me thru the process, im fixing to go and work a day with him to get to know the ropes more.

Hope you dont mind man :o)

Ross,

Is that a hearse you're driving? Is that for real? Many people talk about pole users looking like ghostbusters. You even have the appropriate transport! SUPERB!   ;D LOL

Of course you can use both (I've an aquatec trolley) and for 80% of my work it's pole and for the rest it's ladder. I have a choice - it's great!
It's a game of three halves!

  I have had my pole for 3 weeks now, I am still using trad methods aswell, I am still waiting for my gizmo to control the water flow better, when that comes I may be doing only the fronts straight out of the back of the car and then do the rears traditionally because a ladder is easier to get round the back of a house, I have a 100ft hose to mine so can get round the back of some with it and have targetted alot of 3 storey properties with quite alot of success.

It seems to me that  if you have an already established round you will have built it up over a period of time to suit your needs.

 Subconciously you will have chosen customers with houses that suit you and your method of working.

Equally, to some extent they will have done the same with you. They like you and the job that you do.

If you now change to WFP there is no guarantee that the same customers are still ideal. Everything has changed now and it may well be that you would have to start  canvassing up a whole new set of customer who fit the new formula.

This is just a fact of life. Its not that one way is better or worse but trying to cross over from trad to WFP is going to cause a few hiccups.
