I don't have a problem with people using any brand they like. My post was merely a reaction to your childish insults against people who self build. Suggesting that people who self build are dole cheats who spend all day in the pub. I have been WFP for 7 years and can afford whatever the hell I choose. I prefer to enjoy my money, and spend it on me and my family.For me the maths is simple:Ionics system £10000 and very goodSelf build £1000 and works very well. = £9000 in my pocket. As I have the nous to build my own why would I waste £9000. Should I do so to impress someone, if so who? You?I think that some people buy more expensive systems in order to feel better about doing what is a fairly low status job. Personally I'm not so insecure.The Ionics will not earn YOU more money or make your life easier but will cost you more.

Building kits with their government money whilst in the Pubs.To be honest Ionics have probably been around the longest and definately build the best stuff, never had a problem with them over the years (except for a naff battery at the moment )I would say Ionics are very good.....at marketing.The above poster is like many who lack the imagination to decide for themselves what to buy, but are lead by the nose by a slick sales pitch. I would respect your opinion more if you could spell properly. Hi to set the record straight I built my first waterfed pole system back in 2002 from components bought mainly from a Dowex importer up North. I then used to build, sell and fit systems, to many other window cleaners vans. I designed facelift's first system and their first trolley - the Pig was designed and built in Bradford, by me.So you see, I know all about building systems, but after seeing the quality in other window cleaners vans of Ionics kit, I decided somebody else was doing something rather well, with a great deal of time invested in design and research, not just in their marketing. I never had a demonstration from them, I just bought their equipment from then onwards, and until somebody makes a better system I will continue to do so

Rhinos and Pigs - frustrated Zookeeper/Farmer, Darran? How about a backpack called the Piggyback?
Darran,I think some members think that you're the 'plant' from Ionics. Can I ask you a question? Are you green?
