I'll be honest I am not a window cleaner, myself and my partner fit out mobile dog grooming vans. I'm reaching out to you for help because we use very similar methods to get water supply in our vans. So my issue is; we have plastic water tanks like you do (ours are only 105 litres) using a shurflo pump to supply pressure to an electric unvented water heater (15litre) when our pumps freeze it is breaking the water heaters so our customers can't wash the dogs because the water heaters break every time we get some cold weather! As this is so unreliable and unprofessional for us we was thinking about installing 1.5 kw immersion heaters in to our tanks. My partner who fits out the conversions knows basic plumbing but not confident if this method will work for us. Has anybody every fitted their own immersion heaters to their water tanks, does it require special tanks or are the plastic ones ok, does anybody know how long it would take to heat up the 105 litres and finally do you think we should get external help from a plumber, would they even know how to do it!? Most plumbers weve contacted before get scared off when we tell we them fit plumbing bits in a van. Thanks in advance!
