Title: Inline heater?
Post by: Abijah Mandela on December 07, 2011, 12:53:05 pm

Hi,

Just wanted to know if its worth getting an inline heater, I have a Airflex pro 600.
I have a job booked next week to clean some really dirty cream stairs. Would it be easier if i had abit of heat?

Thanks

Abi

Def helps...drys quicker, lifts stains easier, cuts into soil easier, you will need hoses and couplings able to handle extra heat, and ideally thermal sleeves on solution hose to protect carpet from heat marks. I would go in at 90-100 for domestic.

If you buy 2 and link them you get the same  heat as a truckmount  ;)

Have you considered the Zeta? It's a great piece of kit giving instant, constant heat... Pop down to Cornwall and I'll give you a demo...

In line heaters are ok, but not constant enough for my liking. I have one on the van for those hard to reach jobs, although on normal/heavy soiled carpets, I find hot tap water suffices when used in conjunction with SPM....  :)

I have the Magma and with warm water already in the tank it produces steam at the wand at 300psi use it for the grubby job when warm alone wont cut it.

I use a magma heater, not a bad bit of kit, certainly wouldn't be without it.
