Ionic Systems Hydra™️ VERTIGO Standard Waterfed Pole (You Choose)

Please Note: This product listing is for the Vertigo™️ standard style configuration for the new Hydra Waterfed poles.

*Each pole requires one fly lead, purchased separately. 

You'll need to choose pole length, pole construction (material) and size brush. All Vertigo™️ poles come standard with a water fed angle crank which is adjustable. The water flows through the angle crank, preventing any exposed tubing outside the pole.

Brushes are commercial grade and available in 14 in. and 18 in. sizes with Rinse Bar and Pencil Jets as standard.

There are three small options available not listed in the drop-down menu. You can optionally substitute Fan Jets (instead of Pencil Jets). Also you can choose a Flocked Brush if you intend on cleaning cladding or delicate surface cleaning. Lastly you can choose a Lightweight Brush (less bristles to lighten overall head weight).

Please contact us for a custom quote if you intend on substituting for a Fan Jet, Flocked Brush or Lightweight Brush.  If you want to own the standard style AND add other brush versions they are listed on our website separately and can be easily added to your cart before checkout.

Ionic Hydra™️ Waterfed Pole

Hydra is a lightweight but strong pole platform that window cleaners can configure based upon their specific needs. Therefore just like the mythical Greek serpent Ionic’s Hydra™️ pole is available with a number of head options.

Weight Savings

The first thing you notice about the Hydra™️ pole is just how light it is. Ionic has really focused on weight reduction and have reduced the wall thickness of every pole section, resulting in significant weight savings and maintained rigidity. Narrow handles provide a more comfortable grip. In order to achieve Ionic's lightest ever pole, every component came under scrutiny, with weight savings being made on nearly every part, from clamps to levers.

One Finger Operation Clamps

The second thing you notice are the next generation clamps on the Hydra™️ pole, with slick one finger operation and adjustment these clamps feature patent pending spring assisted release to reduce tube section wear. In addition, the clamps are carefully crafted to ensure tight closure time after time,  year after year.

Protector™️ Handle as Standard

The final thing you notice is that every Hydra™️ pole comes standard with Ionic’s unique Protector handle. The only waterfed pole to meet the British Standard for electrical safety is available to you at no extra cost. It seems that there is barely a month that goes by without news of a window cleaner electrocuted at work. Whilst safer than ladders Ionic believes that waterfed poles should be a no-risk alternative. 

Important: A Special Note About the Protector Handle

The bottom section of the pole is the only section that is double insulated, giving protection up to 1000 volts. If the operator uses it in proximity of a higher voltage, there is a risk of it jumping from the carbon sections and electrocuting the operator. It is absolutely essential that the operator or supervisor does a risk assessment prior to undertaking work using this pole. In areas of greater electrocution risk we recommend using a fully fiber glass pole up to 30ft.
