nothing wrong with them Bazz. 18ft is comfortable and light with very impressive rigidity even at full extension. Hose is excellent -robust and manageable.
Alloy base cap is solid and looks the business.
Clamps are top of the range and excellent.
After sales advice and service from Brodex is great as well.

I have tried a selection of poles over the past 18 months or so and have whittled it down through trial and error to a 18ft predator and a 48ft powerpole.

I've recently purchased a 24ft predator - and it's the best pole i've had so far !!

if you think the predator is too bendy, make sure you never try an extender pole! :o
or an unger!
For a fibre glass pole, the rigidity in the predator is the best I have seen so far.
If you used the 36ft powerpole (6ft x 6ft) you could make an extremely rigid 24ft pole by taking out the top 2 sections and using a collett adaptor to attach your brush head to the 3rd section. Usually, a powerpole brush head can only be connected to the 1st or 2nd section but these can be whippy with the weighty brush head attached. So you can purchase an adaptor from Powerpole which allows you to fit the brush to the 3rd or 4th section making it extremely rigid.

3rd and forth section at the base of each section had to cut each section down to repair .i think when they have been assembled the stoppers have been incorrectly placed so now on each section when fully extended i always push the section back in a little.

apart from that, which is bad, how did you find the ecolite in terms of weight and rigidity?
I am interested in a 30 footer.

rigidity pretty good if you dont fully extend each section the weight is ok alot lighter than using my 65ft ionics carbo pole.

Hi Sean, I use a 25ft Ecolite and 30ft Ecolite every day, the 25ft is a dream, the 30ft is still very good but if anyone is looking at buying soon - the 35ft Ecolite Carbon is on offer at £299! ;)

My power pole does not seem whippy on the 1st section.
I use my 36ft powerpole as a 24ft pole most of the time.
I have the adapter so i can remove the top two sections but i prefer to just remove the bottom 2 sections as its a bit lighter.
