I think that would DEFO be a good way to go!

Might be checking that out.

Does it work on a thermostat so you could leave it on overnight?

Hi Cybersye,

I used to do this in my carpet cleaning days. I put screenwash through and then jetted it out the next job I did. Works well.

Only problem with window cleaning is that your pump, tank and hoses are now contaminated. You would need to flush them out for ages to get rid of the residue. Or am I misunderstanding you?

Steve
Hi Steve
I dont think your misunderstanding me that much, the hose is disconnected from the tank so that does'nt get contaminated, I just pump through a few litres of antifreeze mix that sits in the hoses and pump and reel, sure, screenwash maybe a bother because its soapy but anti freezemix does'nt seem to be a problem, connect to tank in morning and pump it through with a few litres of pure. I've had no problems with this.

What a tosser. sorry. :-[ ;D

Why not find a way of running a pipe from a cabin airvent into the back?
Then just leave the engine running for 20 mins or so and everything will warm up nicely.(especially on re-circulate)

Why don't manufacturers have a vent into the back? ???
It would be useful for a lot of people I'd guess, not just window cleaners.

Lorry drivers have them on all  night to heat the cab, and the motor caravans do so they are fully ajustable.

This is the cheapest I have seen they normaly sell £500 +

So for a mere £200,000 he could solve his problem.

I'm sure he'll be glad of that useful advice.

I don't understand that.
You only live in Cambridgeshire, not up north.

I haven't had any problems and it was -4 the other night.

Let me think about that...

£250,000 for a new house or £500 for a heater

hmmm... I just can't decide what is the best option for him...

(Actually, I agree with you. But not everyone is able to move and the leccy does cost a fair amount)
