All the pole lengths are out of stock as are the brushes.

They are heavier that the SLX equivalent and have different clamps.
Slightly cheaper, slightly longer closed length.
Carbon fibre is the same colour though.

Would I buy an unknown manufacturers pole or a Gardiners pole?

Sorry, but it would be Gardiners every time.

theres not much difference in weight and collapsed length to the point you probably wont notice it, its good that there is another competitor to gardiners as the prices then would only go down which will benefit everyone

Had all the versions of slx  got a clx  27 as well
Have also had facelift ionics brodex  streamline poles
Over the years and I would say these new poles are up there with the best.

Cool! I like some serious competition amongst suppliers! Let's hope Ionics don't buy them up ...

Be interesting to hear what their service is like.

Just Ask Jason if they have, he will be honest



Honesty is the best policy.

Or you could ask stevenpaulmatthews, he lives not far from Jasons grandmother, i am sure he would know.

why the pole looks ok
buy the pole, pay your money
you will probably wont use them again
untill you buy something else

makes me laugh just because you spend a little money
you expect more from them apart common courtesy and the product
fair enough if your going to be spending £1,000 each month with them
you could expect a priority service

a friend of mine has a customer who spends £25,000 a month, every month
they can phone him and tell him to come to their office
but they are spending a lot arn't they   ;D

Hi all,

I am Adam the director of The Water Fed Pole Company.

I have been a window cleaner for 8 years using both WFP and traditional methods. After using many poles and finding that many of them were highly priced and in some instances not very well made, I decided I would start developing my own. I have invested a lot of time in making what I feel is a very good water fed pole at a fair price, The Elite.

We are receiving fantastic feedback from people who have purchased a pole and also resellers across the UK. Some of the feedback will be placed on the website for you all to see.

I am planning to do a few demonstration days across the UK so that you can have the chance to view the "Elite" range of poles. If you would be interested in this please email me your details and what area you are in so that I can start to plan this and try to cover as many areas as possible.

If you are local to Milton Keynes you are more than welcome to visit us. Also these poles will be available from cleaningspot as of next week.

Any questions please feel free to email me. Email Address Below

Also, sorry to James Green for not being able to contact us, I am unsure to why this is but I will check that there are no problems. If you would like to send me an email with any questions, please send them to

                            info@thewaterfedpolecompany.co.uk.

Welcome to the forum Adam, the poles look good, I may consider one in the future when i need a new pole, but I hope that it is successful for you.
