That’s fine just carry on with cold ime not trying to twist anyone’s arm to go hot just sharing my personal experience with both hot and cold , for us I would never go back to cold , we do work from Cornwall to London and use hot 8 hours a day 5 days a week on everything summer and winter , the time saving is more than worth the extra expense , Ime not interested in a debate about it ones are free to to do what they want , but it also helps reduce the tax bill ????
I have ionics systems in my vans but have Grippatank 9 kw two man boiler system in my personal van , and thermopure in the others , the Grippatank add on boiler is awesome ,
I thought hot water would be common sense when cleaning or we would all clean dishes and wash clothes in cold water and save money. I have only used hot water since I began wfp and can't imagine using cold especially in this weather.
Stick with cold then I don’t understand why you posted if you dint want to hear the answers
A lot of penny wise pound foolish on here at the moment. When I joined the forum nearly 3 years ago I studied everyone on it. I then studied all the guys running successful window cleaning businesses. I then studied the similarities they had to see if there was any common factors. I came up with these factors:- They mostly used hot water, made their own pure with an RO System, 3.5 ton van with 650l or over tank, two man system, electric reels, extreme poles, good brushes, went or were going hoseless, hardly ever used ladders, had a sealed floor, didn't go collecting money, used a pay system and didn't need to advertise. So I tried to copy them and bought a £10k two man hot water system from Grippatank for my first system. This I believe is a money making machine which gets me £800 a month without hard work. fwiw ? forgot about the underfloor rollers.
The dishes comparison is idiotic. You use hot water AND washing up liquid to remove grease etc
Best thing to do would be to try it out for yourself. Last time I looked into it that's what I was going to do but I've not tried it out yet. I have a trolley so all I need to do is fill one of my drums up with red hot tap water and try it on my own windows. Granted the glass won't dry clear but how the water behaves and whether the whites of the pvc are whiter should be noticeable. The main thing I want to know is whether it rinses better.
As I've said before I don't come across many windows with gravy or ketchup on. I have a 9kw 2 man Webasto heater, it gets turned on for big filthy first cleans and when it's literally freezing, 0 degrees or colder.
You have to admit though, that washing dishes with cold water has been one of the best marketing ploys I've heard in a long time for selling hot water heaters. The marketing industry would be very proud of the person who came up with that one.?
You rinse better with a higher water flow. The lower the water flow to slower your rinse. I've watched it time and time again with son and his backpack.
I wasn't hearing any answers as to why it was better other than "it's better" or "it's comfortable" etc. Those are not reasons to justify the expense for me.
I don't think I have the space for a diesel so it would be an immersion heater from GrippaTank along with the anti frost unit and additional battery. Thanks.
Blimey, so I cannot be a successful window cleaner because:
Sorry kid but I have to say it. You're acting like a spoilt brat six year old in a tantrum. You're really not doing yourself any favours.
I only use it overnight when the coldest days are forecast, I cant reacall the temp but it stays an ambient temp all day without the tank being insulated, but my van has always been garaged as well
Correct me I'm wrong you have multiple xtreme poles blew 10k on a 2 man system that hardly gets used as you only have around 100 jobs that make you £800 a month.
