you can get information at Williamson Pumps in Poynings. Unger is a copy of the Carbonized. In Holland is Carbonized sold without any problem since 2 years now.

Have heard that you get a soaking when changing the sections. ALso, you need to lay the pole down if you want to change the height. Not very convenient.

The Carbonized pole is also known as the Diamondback over here. we used to have one and it was complete rubbish. About 4 of the sections came apart and crumbled with in two months, (I think one of these snapped during a demo at Windex?)

The Unger pole is far superior
I do not have these problems with Carbonized, I like the diameter much more. Unger looks OK but is much thicker and that is not very convenient,

In what way is it different? I've just looked at the Unger carbon tech pole which is water fed through the middle of the pole etc. in sections. Very pricey and just can't warrant the big price tag. Even the weight is dissapointing when a heavy flow tap is added onto the pole.
So what is so good about this replica!!!
It seems to me, that it works out cheaper buying several different length poles and using the appropriate one for the job, and if one is out of use at least you have a back up.
Just my opinion!

I would agree with you. Also, when you work with more than one person, each can have a pole to use.
