I had one delivered just this week. As I circulate rather than on demand I think it will be suitable. I have a second 'whale' pump for £12 that I will use as well.

I will set it up at the weekend and guess what, I'll video it at well!!

Would it work on demand? I mean could it work through a hose?

I am liking this circulate idea, could fill up at night with cold and circulate at the same time keeping the van frost free and recirculate in morning before heading out with no heater or gas in the van

i didnt realise that the pump came with it :-[
im thinking along the lines of  other people  regarding the circulation idea both for night time and during the day
this kind of heater seems more robust to me than some of the l5 type heaters

There is a drop in pump that plugs into the unit and a 12v lead which plugs in to the vehicle. It needs a slight moderation to work well for window cleaning.

that is good, I am now going to circulate some aluminium, I take a full can of tennents then drink it then circulate them to the recycling bin, so my circulating is taking a harmful substance, disposing of it and recirculating the aluminium to a useful source ;) so no one will get harmed by the harmful substance and the local council get their recycle i.e circulate quotas, so all is good ;D
Yes, I do  ;).

Does this kind of heater seem to make things a bit more like grief ?
I have run an L5 for 2 years now with no issues at all , 5 minutes to put it in when summer ends , job done for the winter , no extra wiring , run it min gas min flow and bobs your mothers brother , keep working , only issue i could pick is the 20 min timer , but watch your clock and dead end as and when needed .

They dont run as hot as the L5 and the tap is prob not as good a connection. I've spent money now but won't get rid of the L5 just yet.

Nothing wrong with having the timer, even on my big places I never leave it running for 20min non stop, all you need to do is turn it off for a second or two via tap and it resets the timer.

Don't you leave it in there to use during the summer as it's great on first cleans and if you get a real dirt conservatory roof to clean, saves a real lot of time!
