Title: would this work?
Post by: tom2009 on December 13, 2010, 06:25:15 pm

My water has to go RO then di as tds is massive so cannot put hot water through di only. Wondered whether this travel heating element would heat a 25 litre barrel on the move as I've no other way, as yet, of using hot to clean.

worth a try I suppose for less than £8.

Cheap enough, but you'd have to leave it in the water for a long time to heat any great amount of water! :)

i tryied this before mate, it does work but obviously not boiling but it will be warm, it took mine about 1 hour to heat a 250 di machine just enough.

its cold by the time it gets through the hose though  ??? ???

Thanks iwitot and leights for replies. I'm grasping at straws a bit. Van mounted hot system whether diy or manufactured seems the only sensible way forward with winters getting how they are, even if only for a week or two (although first cleans, what ever time of year, must be easier with hot?) Until then pray for short cold and long mild spells.
