Didn't Unger try this? Look what happened to that monstrosity of an epic fail!! 
Was Unger's a screw in type? TBH Unger wouldn't know a good WFP tool if it jumped up and whacked them in the face.
Did'nt you use Unger alloy poles to sell with your trolley system so they can't be that bad!
Correct that was a window cleaning pole that I took on at the time because of the very limited poles available. Unger never marketed them as a water fed pole, I think I was the only one who did. Unger's window cleaning equipment is very good and does the job, they are in my opinion not up with water fed pole equipment yet. I am not saying Unger water fed pole equipment is bad, I am just saying they don't really know good WFP equipment when they see it.
It always takes larger companies longer to bring new products along than smaller companies, and not necessary better. With window cleaning changing over to WFP it is like a new business for a large window cleaning tool manufacturer because all the equipment has changed, and they are at a great disadvantage. Even if someone goes along and offers them a great new tool they may not necessary see the advantage of it, or if they do they would rather go with their own inferior product to save sharing the spoils. The large companies are also more disadvantaged now with people like me being able to easily source supplies direct from China, our profit margins can be lower than large companies who need to go through various outlets, with everyone needing a share of the profits. They really need to get in touch with what's happening down at ground level. They really need to get the right people involved to move their products forward, but like with most large companies they want to keep as much of the profits in house as possible.
I remember years ago a large window cleaning tool manufacturer having an open day where various water fed pole window cleaners and suppliers were invited to a brainstorming event, which nothing valuable came out of it. I was left out BTW. The next event was scheduled and one of the suppliers in Scotland who is no longer in business told them he though it beneficial for them if I was included, as I had a few unique ideas at the time, but again I was ignored. They knew at that time I would have had to get something out of it had I been involved, and they obviously wanted to get by without anyone outside the company benefiting. They would much rather get feedback from people who at that time hadn't a clue what a good water fed pole brush was never mind anything else.
