And who first came up with the idea of using pure water? Just curious.
Was it before or after the legislation or whatever it is with regard to ladder use?

I had my very first home made system in 2001
Bought poles from OTT (Ionics)
I think the Americans used Tucker Poles about 30 years ago.

IM SURE I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THE AMERICANS WERE DOING IT IN THE LATE 50'S! :o

I think nasa developed it for cleaning in the aerospace industry.
But i might be wrong ???
-
just been on the tuckerpole usa website they have been using the wfp since 1957! FACT
But we all know it was ionics really ;D

The first time I came acros it was around 1996/97. How I wish I had got in to it straight away. However, I was told that it would cost £30k to set up so didn't bother.

A man of your means and you couldn't find £30k? ;)

Yea Tucker first started it in the 50s. Mind you, there wasn't much in the way of water purification, I think they just used very soft water. Not sure when Reverse Osmosis and DI was introduced to the retail market.

WFP came from the usa, tucker pole was the first, in the uk Ionic systems was the first to bring to the market (back then called over the top) they showed the first system at a fed of window cleaners trade show! 1996/1997 I got one in 2000 cost me 20k from brodex, was back then a commercial tool of the trade, how times have changed! WFP for our industry was a game changer! and given me a good living!

20k! :o :o :o :o
That is extortionate. Even then a DIY system could have been set up for little more then what you can do now. Everything apart from custom made tank frames would have been available.
