Title: How did you get on with immersion heater in tank ?
Post by: geefree on January 18, 2011, 10:51:33 pm

Hi,

well it got me through the bad cold days, so far , ...the immersion heater....

and now i  put it on the timer for 5 hours...as and when i think i may need to...

think i will have hot water tomorrow actually as plenty of bird poo on the glass in the area i am working...

so i dont think i will bother with an L5 or any other type of hot water system now,

this is enough for me , as and when i need it.... and it stays warm all day with the tank lagged.

Did anyone use it and how do you go on ?

I have mine on every day so far,am doing new customers on a round i bought and treating them all like first cleans so well happy with the better cleaning ability,big difference with the bird poo. Its not so much hot as very warm that i go out with. 4 1/2 hrs a day at 3kw is supposedly £1.50 appx. on my tariff and i can live with that at the moment,vast difference in heating times with the warmer spell recently.Got it on a timer and I`d be gutted if i went out and found it hadn`t come on and i had to set off with cold. Might all be in my head though. Having said that the warm water really does seem to melt away the bird poo/stubborn type and watching it do its job at eye level leaves me confident i have done the job right on the top windows. I stir up the tank to get the cold water under the element swished about a couple of times before i go out,i do this with a plastic spade(childs beach type) and then drive off with the pump on and the water circulating through the hose reel back to tank.
