HEATED OR COLD WATER
« on: January 14, 2006, 10:20:56 am »
Can anybody tell me if they use hot water/heated? Is it relly any easier than cold? If so any suggestions as to heating the water in back of my van, not so sure I want to carry a gas cylinder! Or, convince me! Ionics want £8K. ??? ???

Does that mean that although you heat to 80 deg or so, it aint really worth spending extra money to get just warm if ur lucky, water comin from ur brush? ???

Cheers Genesis! :) Think ill call em Monday! Can u tell me do u use hot or cold? if u do is it alot better than cold? Spoke to my brother earlier who does textured coatings, they hire a "hot" pressure washer! I wonder if this could possibly be incorporated, as I remember reading somewhere, in USA they use pressure washers and wfp! :-\

only use cold, find it works perfect for me.
apparently builders cleans are alot simpler and quicker with hot but again, cold does the job.
also first cleans come up good with hot but im quite happy with cold and get through about 30 houses a day which is good enough  for me.
if you need any help setting up give me a shout and i would be only too happy to help. i used to install systems in vans for ionics when they were called over the top so i know a little bit about it. my advise and time would of course be free.
regards, Russell
