Aluminium or carbon fibre: which is right for you?
Both do the same job with the same kit. The difference is how the pole feels in your hands. Carbon fibre is up to 43% lighter, so it's easier on your shoulders and back when the pole is fully extended. We recommend it for homeowners who'll be cleaning a two-storey house regularly. Aluminium is the value choice, and ideal for lower reaches or occasional cleans.

4.6m or 7m: which length do I need?
- 4.6m (15ft) — bungalows, ground-floor windows, single-storey extensions, conservatory roofs, shopfronts, solar panels on outbuilding roofs, greenhouses.
- 7m (24ft) — first-floor windows, fascias and soffits of typical UK two-storey terraced, semi-detached and detached houses; solar panels on pitched roofs.
Do I need pure water?
No. HydroPole kits work with ordinary tap water: scrub with a little soap, rinse, then squeegee or buff dry. If you'd rather rinse and leave the glass to dry, you can fit a deionised pure-water filter (sold separately) between the tap and the hose.
