Ionic Thermopure Hotbox 9kw diesel water heater

Would be fine for intermittent use though surely, like cold mornings for 3 hrs and one-off cleans or fsg

Well technically no, when you could do an immersion heater for a fraction of the price

On a cold day the immersion heater set up might be cold before you’re done.

We have them on the hottest setting and once the tank is very hot in the summer months turn the boiler off at lunch times . The Grippatank adjustable one is very good bit hit and miss with the actual temperature but it’s not that important to be exact anyway .

I have the Grippa system on the lowest setting and the Ionics ones on summer at all times. I’ve found the hotter settings crack windows and ruin brushes pretty quickly.

We have cracked 4 windows in 12 years using hot and everyone had existing damage chips on the edges of the sealed units luckily they were all small units . As for brushes we use supreame stiff find theses are the only ones that last with hot water get 3 months out of a brush used 8 hours a day 5 days a week , all other brushes last a fraction of that have killed a few brushes in a mornings work although they were supposed to be suitable for hot water .

I watched Squeaky clean Dave’s video years ago. He covered his tank with an insulation jacket. It was something like you’d have had on a boiler years back. I imagine that makes all the difference. The only thing I’d say is the immersion heater set up is actually quite expensive for what it is. I did the sums once and remember it being slightly more than a diesel heater.

To run I mean. When I say I did the sums I imagine I actually just read them from a post Spruce put up

If your using 1.2 litres an hour of fuel to run it then immersion heater is by far the cheapest, you can get deals that give you 10p per kw through the night, which makes it much cheaper to run aswell.
