Best thing is to get a demo, most of them will come to you so you can judge the results for yourself. I recommend that you get demos from at least three, Tucker, Ionic Systems or Omnipole. Look closely at the poles as thats what you'll be working with all day, some bend more than others and some are heavier than others. Remember that you get paid for cleaning windows so you need kit that gives you maximum time on the glass.

Hi Steve
Will you have enough work for a full pole system
They are not cheap , you could get a diy kit for starters at a fraction of the cost , then when the work builds up upgrade to a full system .

I use the reach & wash systerm I have used it for 18 months I origanally bought a 300litre commercial but found out i was runing out of water on big jobs and it took about 6 hours to refill so i up graded to the 650 litre and it is spot on. the poles i use 40ft, 20ft. 10ft.
I would like to say that i would use carbon fiber poles over 30ft as the fiber glass have a lot of flex in them which makes it a hard days work.

Hi Ben,
I have recieved information from quite a few companies but when i get a system it will probably be from
www.window-tools.com
because everyone i have spoken to that has had a system from them said it was excellent
