Have any of you considered an immersion heater type hotwater system?

I had an immersion heater last winter, they are good for making the hoses soft and stopping them freezing on the ground, but they do not get the water hit enough to improve/speed up the cleaning.

No chance unless you upgrade wires in the house and use correct graded wires and fuses, otherwise there can be a good chance of wires overheating and catching fire to either the house, van or both. Plus the cost of running them will cost more than gas etc.

 

[J.D]

They will cost more than gas? You sure about that rcproperty?

To use one day a month no, but to use everyday yes.

 

[J.D]

Well it looks like i can rule that idea out!

 

[bluemonkey]

i used an immersion for over a year, only stoped because i changed tank, as long as on right wire, and right plug, it is fine, helps if you are on eco 7 ele,

If you are using it daily then gas or diesel is cheapest.

mine costs about £13 for 2 weeks.

 

[J.D]

Thanks fellas. Might just stick to gas!

Hotwash is the man

diesel all the way. its great.its been 20 degrees down here and hot is great especially on those baking hot glass windows.the reason i would say diesel is its safer, its van mounted,its

 

[HotWash Window Cleaners]

the best that should say

 

[kevinc250]

if you want to go the cheapest way then i would have thought that a gas/lpg heater put on a frost stat would be the way to go for the winter.too many varyables to say exactly what you would need for that.

saying all that just bring everything thing you can in at night,go out in the morning connect it all up/bang the l5 on and away you go-simples :Image13: you are right in a way in trying to sort the hot out now,hot water has its places i think and is very important to have in the cold winters we have,for me its a novelty in summer and i pop the hot on to wash the van thats all

Cheers hotwash/kev
