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.

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.

Final laboratory conclusion
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.
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.
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
What the laboratory test recorded
The Kevlar pole sample completed both high voltage tests with no recorded leakage current, no flashover and no breakdown.
- Tested at 33 kV for one minute
- Tested at 35 kV for one minute
- 0.00 mA leakage current recorded at both voltages
- No flashover or electrical breakdown
- No discharge, burn marks or obvious heating after testing
- Appearance inspection passed

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.
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.
Look up first
Check above the property, driveway, access route, garden, garage and every area the pole could enter.
Treat every line as live
Electricity can arc across a gap. Direct contact with a cable is not required for serious injury to occur.
Do not rely on insulation
Protective materials are an additional defence, not permission to approach or work underneath live lines.
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
Spot the risk. Know your poles and distances.
Clear answers
Waterfed pole safety questions
Transparent test information matters, but it must always be understood alongside safe working practice.
Explore Venom polesWhat 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.
