You can get the same heater for £98 off eBay. Search for 8L gas heater
Quite a few members have them fitted and they work fine, one guy did have a problem. But for £98 they are worth a go.

Do i need any hoses for it to go on my system
-
Can't see how the water will still be hot after 100m of hose.
Don't think these have enough to heat very hot.
Sure someone will be along soon to say otherwise.

My heater is set to half way, it supplies 2 100m reels and the temp at the brush is 40 deg. My heater is only a 5L version so the 8L would be able to heat up even more.
-
Sounds good 40deg at brush trough 100m on ground?
Very impressive , may need to look into this a bit more.
I just assumed they were caravan/ motorhome heaters
And we're hot straight from heater but wouldn't cope with
100m hose.
Why would you buy a hot system from anyone else ?
Off to look on ebay

they go after the pump. as far as the flue, i've got one of these heaters - not the reach2clean but the exact same heater off ebay - and i used this flue http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170385917105&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:GB:3160
you'll need to cut some air vents onto your van as well, and make sure the flue's all air tight, i carried a carb9on monoixide alarm around for a couple of weeks just to be sure.

Do i miss out cleaning vents and say that i clean all the frames every visit? NO
Can vents be cleaned wfp with the flow on? YES
Am i going to produce a video for 'vent' obsessed matt? Yes
Are you cleaning ALL the window/window frame if you miss the vent out? NO
Do i have vent rage? NO
Does my cheap heater heat my water? YES
Do i use hot water on my customers vents? YES

;D

Lol. Obsessed? Maybe but I don't think so. I just like to see someone put there money where there mouth is. I'm intrigued as to how you can clean an open vent with the water on and not cause some sort of flood in your custys house. As well as the obvious of drips etc running down the glass aterwards. To me you appear to be aiming that the laws of physics don't apply to you.
I await your proof otherwise :-)

In my experience most vents that are drilled above the window in the top frame have a water protector cover over them. While its just screw on and not sealed it doesn't allow water from your brush to enter into the house. I have 3 properties where the vents are designed differently so I'm more careful as I have got water ingress inside on a couple of occassions over the years. But if the brush head is angled properly for these then I don't have a problem.
I clean all vented windows as normal. To begin with I had the odd dirty water streek that came from dirt inside the grill but I've got on top of that now.

i lost a job once because i got water in the house while cleaning frame/vents its the only one i have lost through this i think?
