A few of the guy's on here use the unger pole, and swear by them, I think you have to buy an unger adaptor to fit your brushes.
Peter Fogwill sells the auto-brush
Sorry here's peters link.

Phew, Unger ones for wfp? I got a 6meter Unger pole for traditional, which is quite heavy, I can't believe you can lift that pole all day. That must be really hard for your body?! Especially over conservatories it's hard.

I sold my unger pole as i found it to hard to lift at around 30ft, got myself a f/glass 24ft and a 39ft, so much better, i also have a almost new Auto brush, but never use it, it has the switch on it that saves water, works well, if anyone intrested i may sell it. Cheers Rob.

Lee, In answer to your question “Will elbow joint with brush screw onto unger pole o.k?”
Go to
http://www.gardinerpolesystems.co.uk/acatalog/shop.html
Click on Water Fed Poles, Brushes and Spares
Then Click on Pole Spares
Scroll down to Find
Plastic Taper Pole-end Screw
This can be screwed or riveted to the end of your pole to take the angle adapter.

Try this one:
http://www.cleantech.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_36&products_id=215
I use this one all the time. I find the cones are better than the unger. A bit chunkier and stronger. Check out the reviews!!
You will need the following:

thanks pure water & david.
one thing i forgot to ask the 5mm tubing is enclosed on the wfp poles i have can you do this on a diy pole or do you let tubing hang on outside using velcro tapes every so way up the pole and if so do you find this a hinderance.
Or do you drill into poles and thread tubing through.
thanks lee
