What is it you are trying to achieve

High pressure washing or low pressure wahing ??? as the 2 Co's youv'e contacted are generally wfp systems.

Just bought a 7.3 M pole   was told it was glass fibre , well the bottom half is !!!!! the top is not much different than my ettore  3 part pole ,, and its almost uncontrolable , even with the pressure notched down .

Is anyone using the Hybrid Carbon Powerpole? does its rigidity give greater control , and worth the invetsment ?

I`m not happy with what I have purchased

Thanks

No I only got it today , I did get the belt , but in my eagerness to try it out I never bothered using it !  does it make a lot of difference ?

I have one and without the belt its too difficult too control.

The belt does make it easier but its so hard to balance you feel like you have done an intense workout after 10 minutes

Cheers Lee , what Pole are you using though ?  your not wrong WFP is piffle in comparison !!!!
The worst thing about the job i`m on is that its tubular steel !!!!  so its a bit hit an miss ,, what we have decided to do is remove the algae with the pressure washer as best we can and whilst its wet  scrub and rinse behind with WFP  with it just connected to the mains tap , and to be honest on parts of the job WFP is going to be easier .

I have been using WFP to clean down and rinse with the 7.3 washer.

Its the last section which is not rigid enough and watching the video it looks fine so maybe the pressure is too much.

what are you trying to clean? An X-jet type softwashing attachment might be better?
