Hello Rumrip and welcome to the forum
Can anyone tell me if the outreach system by interclean
is any good, is it comparable to ionics system.
Hmmm, I have not come across interclean as yet. Do they have a website?
Most pole systems share some common features, but generally speaking they are not all the same.
You mentioned the Ionics system, as the industry leader, Ionic's equipment is usually regarded as the top quality end of the market. For the extra features, they are often more expensive than other systems.
But there are many other WFP system suppliers, in fact we had a topic about this very subject not so long ago, I've cut and paste the info below:
Here are some good suppliers I know of:
Ionic Systems Ltdhttp://www.ionicsystems.comThe WFP industry leader. They manufacture the "reach & wash" system. They also are the only company to have conducted crash-tests on their systems. They have a specially designed set of poles known as the "ergo-lite" range, and once you've used one you wont want anything else. Be warned though, if you want the best, you have to pay for it, the systems are top quality and not cheap. They do finance plans however. Ionic Systems sponsor
The British Window Cleaning Academy so good on them.

Omnipolehttp://www.omnipole.comOmnipole have an excellent trolley system known as the "omnitrolley" They use aluminium poles (rather than fibre-glass or carbon fibre, but they will supply these on request) which have a myriad of attachments for any cleaning job you could imagine! (Including gutters). I have never used one of their systems, but from what I hear their equipment is well built and good quality. Justin Ruggles uses an omnipole system, and is very happy with it.

Brodexhttp://www.brodexbms.co.ukBrodex's range of systems are called the High-Flow, Eco-flow and 3G. Their systems are encased in stainless steel, making them quite distinctive. Unfortunately they had their wrists slapped recently for the third time by the Advertising Standards Authority for making false claims in their advertising. For me this tarnished their reputation a little, but who knows maybe the experience will help them get back on track.

Pure2ohttp://www.pure2o.co.ukA wiltshire based company that uses the same crash-tested chassis as
Ionic Systems. I personally have had dealings with pure2o and would recommend them to anyone. They do a good range of systems, from "DIY" parts to complete systems. They also promise to beat any like-for-like quote, which is nice.

Aqua-Techttp://www.window-tools.comPeter Fogwill who runs this business is famed for his helpfulness and good advice. His systems range from a 50 Litre trolley system to a full Van mounted system. Also there is a trailer system which I particularly like the look of. Many people have written reviews on his products, have a look at them.

Skypolehttp://www.skypole.comA newcommer to the WFP market, Skypole's website boasts "one of the biggest ranges of pure water cleaning systems available in the world". If I were them I'd get that off there double-quick before they are ordered to by the Advertising Standards Authority. (Not so long ago another supplier made a similar claim and the ASA ordered them to remove it) Not much is known about their systems as they are so new.

APS Purewashhttp://www.apspurewashsystems.comAPS do a very nifty trolley system, but I'm afraid I dont know much else about their products, as they are a relative newcommer to the WFP market.

Most of these suppliers will be at the WINDEX exhibition in October. This would be an ideal opportunity for you to see a broad range of systems in one place. Also, I would recommend going to
The British Window Cleaning Academy's water-fed-pole course. Its excellent!
