Nope

You have now decided to never go back to working with cold water again as hot so good.

Nope

Rubber bleed.?

Or you just noticed how dirty the others are.

Very funny but wrong

Your missus refused to pay your inflated price :Image3: :Image3:

RC is still the closest so far.....

Quote from the site!

Washing with cold water

The major reason for using hot water for washing is that its surface tension is lower and it is a better wetting agent.

But if the detergent lowers the surface tension, the heating may be unneccessary.

Well to put you all out of your misery it had the same final results if I had just used cold. Yep just spot free windows as usual. Go figure... :Image13:

That was gonna be my guess but went for the slightly more amusing option :Image13:

Wouldn't it cost a fortune using hot water on every single window, weather maintenance or first clean?

not really, mine works out to cost me £1.30 for a whole days work!

£13 every 2 weeks roughly

My diesel system recirculate the hot water so slowly heats up the tank as the day goes by, so when I have 2 hours to go I turn off heater as remaining water in tank is generally around 35 to 40 degrees.

Sometimes I run all day with heater and use maybe £3 £3.50 worth of diesel. It's peanuts really considering the earning potential.

that costs more than i thought it would do, but then again with the price it keeps rising to!

Can't you get electric ones that connect to battery? Bit like new boilers where it heats on the go, rather then heats water in tank? is immersion right word?

 

[Smurf]

An electric on demand shower type setup will pull upto 3000 watts so don't think would be very practical being mobile somehow.

 

[Gmeister]

Thought I saw something somewhere, facelift system, could of been a gas type setup lol,

cant find it now either..

for the amount they would draw you would need a very big battery, size of a van, an immersion heater uses 3kwh (3000watts) just for an hour.

a 110ah battery is about 1320watts

It doesn't have to recirculate, it can work on demand. Probably use half the amount of fuel or less.

Was looking at this a while ago to maybe make a portable hot water system to be plugged into customers property when wanting just use hot tap water on demand to use for deep cleaning gutters, soffits, fascias, cladding, conservatory roofs etc....

as long as the trades man pays to use the electric or discounts the bill for it!
