I have 2 wfp systems working (both trailer mounted) and use fibreglass poles - they are good poles but are heavy duty and really tire the arms over a full day - anyone using anything lighter or using a different brush other than Viking what you think - nothing over 30ft though, don't want to get into the really high stuff yet.
-
I use really cheap light Ungers - but while they are good for ground and first floor, at second and above they get progressively "whippy" and less controllable. But on my round I've very little above 1st floor and only a handful at 2nd so it suits me. I use a 10" Vikan on it - no complaints there.
(I've got all the sections to get to fourth or even low fifth floor but it really isn't the right pole for those jobs.)

I've an eighteen foot Ionics (residential) pole; carbon fibre, and use an Unger 30 foot pole for higher work.
The Ionics is really good. Light and strong. Recently I had a 'go' of a similarly designed pole, but it was fibre-glass. It felt much heavier.
The Unger pole is good too - strong and light; but I think it takes a little bit of time to get the knack of quickly shortening or lengthening it.

Ive got 18ft residential 30ft fiberglass and 40 ft fiberglass all from ionics they dont seem too heavy. worth a try they have lasted 3yrs and the way my lads throw them around and stand on them i thought they would only last a week.

Cheers for the help guys - just thought I'd ask as I did have a pulex pole before but it was a nightmare to work with. I'll stick to the fibreglass for now.
