We are not beholden
to any particular manufacturer.

While this site is geared towards experienced pole users,
here are a few tips for first time buyers:

• Do Your Homework - Buy after researching.
• The Best System - You may not need the higher priced system.
• The Right System - Buy a system because it is right for your needs.
• Package Deals - Make sure the entire package is right for you.
• Flavor of the Month - Find out what they were pushing last month.
• Financing or Leasing? - "A dollar down & a dollar a day" usually means thousands in interest.
• Check With Your Accountant - Get sound advice from an accountant, not a salesman.
• Interest Payments - Check with your accountant before spending thousands.
• Tax Savings - Don't wind up spending a dollar to save fifty cents; ask your accountant.
• Depreciating Assests - Depreciate equipment & systems in income statements.
• Discussion Groups - Do an online search to read what other users are saying. Check out what is going on in Europe; they are years ahead.
• Advice - Many people wear several different hats; if they sell poles or have a personal financial interest, take that into consideration.
• Image - Appearances are important, but on the reverse side is the old saying: "You have to walk before you run."

Waterfed technology has been around for several years now, but it still needs to be sold. In Europe, everyone knows about waterfed poles and most companies use them. Buyers select based on price, relationship and what is right for them.

Here in the United States, the word is still getting out. It shouldn't be too much longer before the job is done and waterfed poles are common place. We will continue to help by offering discounted prices.

Buy the right system because it is right for you. Maybe the right solution is a top of the line pole and a truck mounted DI system, OR maybe a $500 pole and renting DI locally is the way to go.

WaterFed.com doesn't offer technical advice and we don't make specific recommendations. Call a friend, call the manufacturer or join a discussion group. Experienced pole users know what they want, and now they have a buying alternative.
