cleaned my van and girlfriends car with hot wfp today.WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! :D :D :D
hose was so much easier to handle!
nothing froze up!
the dirt just melted away very easily!!
im converted!hot wfp all through winter methinks!
-
What, you havent the 'hot' threads this winter since you went over to your trolley?
-
just not tried it matt!all my barrels froze up the other week(week before last!)so i just took a week off and done xmas shopping and stuff then last week i used trad pole for 3 days then cold wfp thurs/fri/sat.
all my gear is inside including barrels.they are half full with cold pure water.in the morning ill fill them up to the top with hot pure and put them in van with thick duvet over them and just take a couple out when needed during the day!they should still be at least warmish until 330 when itll be too dark to clean anymore anyway!! ;) ;D ;D

Hi Dazmond
you are supposed to try it out on the windows, not the cars.
-
Daz didnt know you had a hot system? if not how are u heating the water
-
He is using hot water from the tap.
-
well how's that pure then?
-
Hot water from tap through the DI
-
hot water from tap through my 25L DI and straight into barrels.ill be filling 8 barrels 50/50 hot/cold so i have warm water all day when im cleaning.ill keep them covered with a thick duvet in the van.
i think ill do this throughout the next 3 months or so! ;) ;D ;D

by the way my tap tds is 24 at the moment! :D :Dthe lowest ive ever known it!!usually its around 35-40 although a few months ago it was 105!!

Dazmond how long does it take to produce 100 ltrs of water thourgh 25L DI Vessel

You don't want to be washing your car with hot water, pretty bad for the paint.
-
Surely a car wash puts hot water on your car ???
-
Daz.
don't quote me on it but I'm led to believe that hot water through resin will knacker the resin
-
dont wash car with hot water what are you on about ??????
-
dont wash me van with hot water?.... ;D ;D ;D your having a laugh are nt ya!!course i use warm/hottish water.always have with no problems!!
as for filling up via DI.the resin is ok up to 60 degrees.i have changed my mind though as its too much of a ball ache filling up in the morning.also the connector off my bath tap keeps slipping off due to the temperature of the water making the rubber fitting very soft!! ::) ;D ;D
ive got a duvet over full barrels in the van and i find them ok if it doesnt get below -2 overnight.
