Literally every other thread is discussing diesel heaters. Why don’t you read some of those.

If it’s value for money you’re after that will rule out a professionally fitted diesel system.
For a fraction of the cost p@f has designed and put into production a 5kw diesel heater, I’m sure he would give you all the info required for a diy fit. Then if you want to go down the electric route there is the immersion element.

Hi how can I contact him thanks andy

[KS Cleaning]

Go on to his profile, you can email him from there. Or put a new thread on here with the heading FAO p@f.

Best one and value for money dont go together.....

The best one is a 9kw diesel heater but not cheap....

The cheapest is an immersion but you ll need to insulate your tank and leave it on overnight for 12+ hours to get hot water.....also you may need to upgrade your electrics at home.....

A diesel heater is not a DIY fit for most of us window cleaners....what richy has done with a cheap chinese heater is great for him but on the other hand it wont have the safety features a proper webasto heater has....

[P @ F]

For example ?

More like 8 hours with a 3kw immersion, less if the ambient temperature of the water is warmer due to leftover water from the previous day.

For example ?

It stands to reason....what you ve done is great for you richy like I've already said but it's a DIY project so hasn't passed any safety criteria like the webasto heaters will have....its probably safer than a gas shower heater though.....never again!🙄🙂👍

Passing safety regs is one thing but those safety regs mean little when systems are fitted with kinks in the pipe work  😂

Daz. You fill your tank from your kitchen sink because you have very soft water don't you? Couldn't you just run your hot water from your kitchen through a DI straight into an insulated tank in your van? Wouldn't this save you a considerable amount of money over a year rather than running a diesel water heater?

[Dave Willis]

Bragging rights though.

If I had soft water in our business unit I'd definitely be doing it. Makes sense to use this asset if you have it available

[NWH]

Yes it would do if you have a unit with a hot tap I agree definitely worth it.

tried that years ago and it didnt work.....the connector on my tap just kept sliding off with the hot water.....also hot water through a DI vessel is not good for the resin......

The simplest way at the moment is to pay 💰 5 grand and flick a switch still everyone 🤣🤣🤣
