Hi I have probably one of the best hot water systems you can by it was £11000 fitted I kid you not. And if I were to be 100% honest I would say I use the hot water 10% of the time if that I have been cleaning windows for over 30years and would have to say on a WFP system the extra cost of buying and running a hot water system is just not worth it .as far as making any difference both in time and the finish.

Aren't you going to tell us what heater it is then Spanish Pete?

[spanish pete]

Yes its a concept 20 its a fully built in system with its own gas tank.

Thanks Smurf yes mate Luckily for me I wasn't the 1 having to write the chec the van and system was over £23000.

It suprising what you can do with some plastic to make a system look like no other but take that shite off an all you have is a standard van mount with a cheap Rinnai Infinity 16i gas water heater in it.

Who in their right mind would pay 11k for that… obviously whoever buys one has more money than sense

 

[spanish pete]

I have to agree 100% As I said I think the hot water side of things is a bit of a waste of time.

 

[Smurf]

How come you don't think hot cleans any better than just cold pure?

For me I find it cuts through the grime better on the likes of glass, plastics & cladding not to mention painted surfaces like wall etc

 

[spanish pete]

No 100% don't agree I have done a back to back on a few different jods and its no faster and doesn't clean any better. That's only my opinion and speaking to other window cleaners who have used both most agree. Most of our work is commercial so might be the odd time we would use the hot.But for any body just doing houses forget it.

Put it this way I would not be using hot if I did not think it would make any difference on the type of jobs I do which is manly one-off infrequent exterior deep cleans.

However on frequent maintenance cleans then I could argue hot is not really required on most jobs I do but some with tree sap etc using hot melts it away instead of using a chem boost.
