Title: Alternative to fogwash.
Post by: Lee GLS on September 29, 2012, 07:50:54 am: Seeing as Peter hasnt got any fogwashes in stock and doesn't respond to emails or phone calls, I decided to look elsewhere for a heater.

I came across this one. Has anyone tried it? It does have a 20 min cut off, but would this be a problem on residential work or can it be removed. Looks like a very good price though.

Post by: colin purewater on September 29, 2012, 08:52:34 am: Looks just like an L5 mate, I'm told the auto cut of is
Just 1wire to disconnect on the exhaust, if you use a pole tap
Or aqua adaptor you probley won't be running it
For longer than 20 mins at a time any way.
I think I'll try one of them for the money!
Half the price that everyone else is selling the for
And just the same thing..

The reach to clean one is an 8L which had been suggested that the minimum flow would need to be quite high

Yes mate. I would go for the one in the 1st link as that is exactly the same as the L5 and its a good price.
