I got my truck fitted out by Waterfed Pole System Ltd. I bought my filtration gear off of pure window water. But also used cleaning spot gardener poles and soap for loads of other gear.
If I knew then what I know now I would have fitted my truck out myself.

puraqleen system(great poles , modular,for high level work).
From what I've heard those poles are very prone to breaking, especially on the hozelock joints, with dirt getting in them. And they are very expensive. I did hold a section at the Window Cleaning Warehouse, they guys there had been testing one but they werent impressed, but they are very stiff, Luke

Brodex arent doing well, considering they are a big manufacturer, Luke

I originally started out with a trolley system from Peter Fogwill at Aquatec, but it has since mutated and grown into a van mount.
So although I didn't strictly start out as DIY, by the time it became a van mount I'd put it together myself, fitted tank and cage (supplied by Peter Fogwill) Hose & reel...er...I've forgotten who supplied the first one! (full size hoze & 100m reel), 2nd hose & reel (Microbore) courtesy of Gardinerpoles.
Pole is now the Superlite....
I might fit a Heath Robertson style of water heater (just an immersion heater) to see what using hot water is like, then if I'm impressed I may well think about getting an all singing, all dancing system from the likes of Ionics or Omnipole....or whoever else may be supplying and fitting them by the time i can afford one!
But first off, rather than outlaying several thousand quid, I'll splash out £30 on an immersion heater!!
As the months pass, my system is slowly but surely mutating all the time.

Ford Ranger Double cab pick up. It's a nice drive and can take the weight. I've got a 650L tank fitted. I only brought it because I didn't think I could afford 2 motors and this would double for both. Now I am running a car as well and with I'd got a van instead.
It is a nice drive though. You hardly notice the water.

The titanium ones are a bit more expensive but imo allmost unbreakable (2years none broken so far). I also trialed the unger modular but found this to be preferable but you know what they say " each to their own". They are expensive but it is a one off outlay as opposed to continually replacing crap telescopic ones like what ionics will give you at fairly high prices. In my first year wfp I bought 6 different telescopics from ionics 18ft 30 ft etc at fairly big expense and all were replaced within 10 months I haven't bought a pole now in nearly 2 years. So imo big outlay but better long term durability and reliability. :)
