Has anyone used this kit to utilize a water fed pole with the pw? Put a j rod or m5 twist nozzle at the end and could reach super high doubling up with a shooter tip…

I can’t imagine many people wanting to hold a cumbersome water fed pole to rinse a 5,6 or 7 story building/structure with this attachment on the end. I like the idea though just not practical.
You’d have to run the very heavy pressure hose up to it, the pole plumbing can’t handle that kind of pressure…unless you plan to 12v the sucker.
Lol. We never know when you are being serious.

I can see the possible usefulness of this attachment, for maybe 3-4 story stucco work where a 12v would struggle without a little extra reach.
I love WCR and support them every chance I get. But IMO this is overpriced. They didn’t even use stainless fittings, from what I see in the pics. Polybraid hose is a pain to work with, as well. I prefer flexzilla or other hybrid hose options.
I think they should just sell the bracket attachment along with a couple of those fancy ear-clamps, and let people source their own preferred fittings and hose.

I want to see the video where he hooks it up to a pressure washer

Why not just buy a $120 extension pole made for pressure washing? I use mine from time to time. Used it last week to reach a steeple at an apartment complex. You can not downstream with the pole in the air. Forcefeed works great.

I would tend to think a pole would get you out if some kind of bind sonewhere along the line. I have yet to absolutely need to use mine since my beginmings(
). But Im still in my infancy and not yet fulltime.
About two years ago @tireshark posted a softwash attachment for a waterfed pole as part of his “dream setup”. Got me curious so I searched for it and found this product on WCR. I was wondering if anyone actually used it or found a practical solution for it. I do have the yellow 24’ fiberglass extension pole and compared to my 35’ carbon fiber viper wfp it feels like a bowling ball. I am thinking the best use case could be to use it on a huge roof with my bucket truck (which doesn’t go out very far mostly just high) to spray with a fan tip rather than a shooter tip and get better accuracy, more coverage and less waste. Or in the case of the theater I did over the fall that has 60’ walls with towers that go back another 20’ to reach the far ends with ease. In reality it would most likely just sit in a box taking up valuable space. Being newer to this industry I wanted to see if people used this thing. The main reason I thought it might be used is it is for sale on wcr not alibaba lol.
Because if you already have a $1000+ carbon fiber pole on the truck, you’ll hate every minute of using a $120 fiberglass pole.

I believe the one I have is aluminum. It’s fairly easy to use with the low pressure tips. Stick a high pressure tip on the end and it’s a beast.
