My Hotwash is still running fine (Peter Fogwills one)
Seems like Peter is taking orders again :
http://www.window-tools.com/
But if that fails to come through, what equivalent is out there that is proven reliable and easy to use? Must be able to attach flue.
-
Where does it say he is taking orders, I can't see it in there?
I have a marey 5l that can attach a flue, no timer and works perfectly. I havnt tried a fogwash, but by reading the reviews, the marey seems just as good
-
i rang him up last week and he said he wont be getting anymore due to storage space

It's this one. There are people selling it on eBay in USA so you could try asking them for a postage quote because the postage direct from marey is high.

Hmm, website says :
Water Fed Pole Hotwash coming soon orders now taken. Washing windows has never been easier with hot water window cleaning.
Bit of an opportunity lost, I would make some storage space if I was him.
What are the necessary specs on heaters? Water output etc. seem to range from 5l to 18l. Definitely don't want one with a timer either.
-
There used to be loads of different ones on ebay when the fogwash first came out. Not that many different ones now. All seem to be on 20min timers.
What about this one?

Going to have a look on Nats forum.

After readinreviews of other heater, not firing up, not reliable, ect, then the positive reviews of the fogwash, I wanted to get one but Peter didn't have any and had not plans to get anymore. I looked at loads, I wanted one without a cutout, and low start up flow, and settled for the marey.
I've used it for 5 weeks now, it's fired up every time, setting the temperature was easy, it doesn't fluctuate I am really pleased with it, I run 2 reels from it as well.
So going by my experience with the marey and comparing it to the fogwash, I would say its just as good.

Actually its $89 for postage

So, that's about £140 all in. Is there any import duty to be paid, or is that in with the P&P?
-
Import duty & royal mail charge is about £30, i think

I mean the heater looks brilliant, and I'm sure that it uses more or less the same innards as the fogwash, but a timer on it, regulations or not, is just not going to work.

i have a L5 that has a 20 min timer on it, and it is no problem, i never leave it on for that long anyway, plus all you need to do is turn the flow of for a second until the heater turns of and start it up again and away you go.

So technically speaking, any time you turn off the flow the timer resets it self? Or only after that 20 minutes? So there isn't a button to press or anything like that. If so, that's not that bad, since I use a trigger anyway.

yer thats right, no there is no reset button that you have to press. i have a tap fitted onto my poles and just use that to turn it on and off, had just over an hour cleaning a conservatory roof with it and it never cut out, only when i turned water off to move to another section. turned tap and away i went again.

Are you sure you only have to turn the flow off for a couple of seconds? On your YouTube video, the first time you turned the tap off it took about 30 seconds for the heater to turn off!!
Was that because of the pressure setting on the varistream?

Well it's a little longer than a few seconds maybe about 10. I don't use any digital controllers on my system as I don't want the power of the pump controlled at the same time as the flow, so I use my own dial controllers that keep the power of the pump the same and just controls the speed of the pump. In the video I only just set it up and it runs a lot better now after working and playing about with things.
