Do you mean just the poles, or full system?

We have seven vans, all DIY installations with a static 40-40 to supply them all with water.

I make much of my equipment myself because I am able and I do not have the cash yet.But I must say its got to look good and professional so my customers think is the real thing.

Matt who runs the diy forum got his system from ionics, but does not let on, and hides it quite well I think.
