Cheap light weight water fed pole

[ash brown]

Hi

Got a free pole with a van and system I bought and its aluminium and heavy as fook.

Any suggestions for a cheap lighter weight pole not too long 20 odd foot or so.

Also what material should I go for, id like to do some solar panels so not sure what material is best.

If you want to do solar panels, then you're looking at getting a long one.

Cheap and light don't go together.

Have a look at Gardiner clx and slx ranges.

Carbon poles tend to be lighter than other types and the rigidity of the pole is dependent on the thickness of the carbon sections used but the good ones are generally not cheap.

You will need to look at Gardiner Extremes for solar panel cleaning. If I were you I would forget about solar and concentrate on window cleaning. An SLX22 will do most of your work but I would go for an SLX25 to be sure. A couple of Extreme Brushes are the way forward IMHO.

For Solar cleaning you will need a far more rigid pole than ones mentioned. Something in the range of the nLite Ultra High mod is far more suitable for panel cleaning

There are 2 good poles manufacturers

Phoenix poles and gardiner

I have both but prefer the phoenix x poles for everyday use.

I think they're modular mate so not telescopic. Completely impractical for normal window cleaning use.
