1. Does it really get the windows cleaner?
2. Does it get bird muck and fly poo off quicker?
3. What water temp do you use?
Thanks

1. If they're clean, they're clean.
2. Definitely faster the hotter you go.
3. As hot as you can afford, unless the outside temp is extremely cold and you have to be wary of cracking the glass.

I would say not more that 65 degrees as all the fittings and hoses take a strain as they all turn to cooked spaghetti.I find the push fit fittings just come loose.

totaly agree thats why i stoped using mine sick of fannying about with fittigs etc minens dormant in the back of the van cant understand why people dont keep the job sim;ple its just one more thing to go wrong thats why ive gone back to cold ive lost count of the amount ive spent on gadgets over the years

There are no instruction to these units for window cleaning so one just has to work it out for yourself. You can push through or get frustrated and dumps the hole idea.
To the guy who asked if it is better the answer is YES. I can feel when the brush glides over the glass that it is doing a good clean. also have a few customers that park in front of the kitchen window and the fumes leaves grease on the glass. This will not come off with cold water with hot its just so easy and the best is softer hoses when all other are hard to handle.

I can see some small benefits of a hot system but not convinced that it is worth the extra initial cost and daily running costs. Each to their own, but for me it's an extra cost that just eats into my profits.
