tested to be a safer water-fed pole from higher Voltage
SimPole has tested their pole! Every section safer!
who makes every section non conductive simpole?
Using a non-conductive SimPole is primarily a life-saving safety choice. While standard carbon fiber poles are prized for being lightweight and rigid, they are also highly conductive, meaning they can act like a lightning rod if they touch a live power line.
The SimPole Resistor and non-conductive series are designed specifically to mitigate these risks, particularly for window cleaners and solar panel technicians.
Why It Is "Good" to Use
-
Electric Shock Protection: The most significant benefit is the double insulation or specialized composite material (like fiberglass or "Resistor" coating) that resists the flow of electricity. If a pole accidentally brushes against an overhead power line or a faulty solar panel, the non-conductive properties provide a critical layer of defense against electrocution.
-
Solar Panel Safety: Solar installations can reach high voltage levels. Standard carbon fiber poles are actually quite risky in this environment. A tested non-conductive pole ensures that you aren't creating a path for current to travel from the panels through the water-fed pole to your body.
-
Weather Resilience: Many non-conductive composite materials (like those used in SimPole's fiberglass or hybrid models) are naturally resistant to corrosion, rust, and UV degradation. Unlike metal poles, they won't weaken when exposed to salt air or harsh chemicals.
-
Durability and Flex: While fiberglass is slightly heavier and more flexible than carbon fiber, it is much more durable against impact. The "Resistor" series often strikes a balance, providing enough rigidity to work at height while maintaining the safety of low conductivity.
Comparison of Materials
[!WARNING] Even with a non-conductive pole, you should always maintain a safe distance from power lines. These poles are a last line of defense, not a green light to touch live wires.

This video demonstrates the specific SimPole Resistor series and explains how the double-insulated design acts as a safety barrier against electrical hazards.
SimPole
is the primary manufacturer that markets a "safe" water-fed pole where every section is designed to be non-conductive.
While standard carbon fiber is a known conductor of electricity, SimPole uses a specific hybrid construction to mitigate this risk across the entire length of the pole:
Key Construction Features
- Kevlar and Glass Fiber Wrap: Every section of a SimPole (such as the Excalibur or Sim1 models) is wrapped in a non-conductive outer layer of Kevlar and glass fiber.
- Insulated Sections: Users and industry professionals specifically highlight the "double insulated sections" found in every part of the pole as a primary safety differentiator.
- Internal Carbon Fiber: The pole maintains high rigidity for reaching heights (up to 72 feet) by using carbon fiber on the inside, which is then fully protected by the non-conductive outer fabric.
Popular SimPole Models with These Features
- Excalibur Series: Often cited as the safest model, featuring non-conductive protection on all 8+ sections.
- Sim1 Carbon Fiber/Kevlar
: A 32-foot pole designed with an 8-section blend of materials to ensure dielectric safety while remaining lightweight.
- SimSky
: A high-modulus carbon fiber pole with a Kevlar-wrapped exterior for extreme heights up to 72 feet.
For maximum safety when working near power lines, ensure you are using the specific hybrid Kevlar/glass fiber versions, as some manufacturers also sell standard carbon fiber poles that remain highly conductive
