Waterfed Pole Safety Testing Certification

 


Aquaspray Venom waterfed pole range

Aquaspray Venom electrical safety

Tested protection.
Transparent proof.
Safer thinking.

Equip2clean is helping raise expectations for electrical safety in professional pole work. Aquaspray Venom waterfed poles feature Kevlar reinforced lower operating sections, supported by independent high voltage testing and publicly available evidence.

Independently tested at 33 kV and 35 kV under controlled laboratory conditions.

Protection designed into the pole

Electrical safety should never be an afterthought

Professional waterfed poles provide outstanding reach and control, but extended equipment can create a serious hazard when overhead electricity is present. Equip2clean has responded by putting material choice, independent testing and clearer safety communication at the heart of the Aquaspray Venom range.

01

Kevlar reinforced lower sections

The lower sections used by the operator incorporate Kevlar material to provide an additional protective barrier at the primary handling area.

02

Independent high voltage testing

A Kevlar pole test sample was subjected to power frequency withstand tests at both 33 kV and 35 kV by an independent laboratory.

03

Evidence customers can inspect

We have made the redacted laboratory report available publicly so professional users can see the recorded results rather than relying on an unsupported marketing claim.

Report number 525040356-001

Essential safety context

Tested protection is not permission to work near live electricity

Kevlar protection should be treated as an additional last line of defence. It does not make any pole risk free and it must never replace proper site assessment, safe working distances or professional advice.

Look Up Look Out National Safety Campaign

Proud campaign supporter

Before the pole goes up, look up

Equip2clean is proud to support Look Up Look Out, the national campaign raising awareness of overhead power line risks for window cleaners, exterior cleaners and anyone using extended pole equipment.

Its message is clear: check the entire working area before unloading equipment, treat overhead lines as live, stop if anything feels unsafe and seek advice before work begins.

“Use it. Share it. Save a life.”

A safer routine on every job

Look up. Look out. Stop when uncertain.

Electrical safety begins before the pole leaves the vehicle.

1

Look up first

Check above the property, driveway, access route, garden, garage and every area the pole could enter.

2

Treat every line as live

Electricity can arc across a gap. Direct contact with a cable is not required for serious injury to occur.

3

Do not rely on insulation

Protective materials are an additional defence, not permission to approach or work underneath live lines.

4

Stop and seek advice

If cables appear close, damaged, low or unclear, stop work and call 105 in Great Britain for network advice.

Shareable safety guidance

Waterfed pole safety questions

Transparent test information matters, but it must always be understood alongside safe working practice.

What does tested to 35 kV mean? +
The test sample was subjected to power frequency withstand tests at 33 kV and 35 kV for one minute at each voltage. The laboratory recorded 0.00 mA leakage current, no flashover, no breakdown and a final pass conclusion under the stated test conditions.
Does Kevlar make it safe to work near overhead lines? +
No. Kevlar protection is an additional layer of defence and must never be treated as permission to work near live electricity. Overhead lines should always be treated as live and dangerous.
Why are the lower sections reinforced? +
The lower pole sections form the principal handling area used to grip and control the pole. Reinforcing this area places additional protective material around the point of normal operator contact.
Can I view the original laboratory evidence? +
Yes. Equip2clean has published a redacted copy of report 525040356-001. Commercially sensitive manufacturer details have been removed, while the testing laboratory, method and results remain visible.
