Anyone done a hot water trolley system

WCF

Help Support WCF:

I don't heat my water as I use it. My trolley is too small for that. However, i heat my water to about 35 or so degrees before I store it in my car. I use an L5 gas heater in my garden. It adds a bit of extra work in the mornings before I go out but I've got a system that works just right for me. In the winter I consider it well worth the effort.

I've got a friend who works with a 60ltr trolley and fills from a tank in his van. He has an immersion heater in his tank and heats his water that way.

My car insulates my water well as it's a saloon and I store most of my water in the trunk. My friend has his tank insulated I believe and his water stays toasty all day he reckons.

Sounds interestingmight look into it

 
The trolley is basically the same - if not identical - to the gas heaters some guys use on here for their van mounts, you would just have to carry a smaller gas cylinder if you wanted to strap it to your existing trolley. From memory it costs around £120 to set it up? If you do a search you should be able to find the details on here.

Thanks cookie but not going to pay a grand when I already have a trolley .I will try and figure away to adapt mine
Don't worry about it James. Peter Fogwill stopped selling those gas heaters 3 or 4 years ago, maybe even longer, although they are still listed on his site. @Cookie posted the link to give you an idea. It looked rather impressive tbh but the trolley was unusable - I had one to begin with.

There was a guy on here (now banned) who has a sack truck with a gas bottle on one side and a gas heater on the other side. He has it this way (portable) so he can either heat pure water from his van or heat tap water from his customer's tap when cleaning conservatory roofs, fascias and gutters.

Mine works well when there's no wind but it really doesn't like any kind of draft or it blows out. I can't see it working well on a trolley on anything other than a really calm day
