Title: temp gauge
Post by: keyser soze on November 08, 2013, 09:06:20 pm
those using hot . do you use a temp gauge for your hot water ... reason i ask is i did a first clean on a night club and it had all sorts of crap on the windows so i turned the heat up and i ended up melting the graphics that was  on the inside of the glass. oops ......so i thought maybe a gauge would be a good idea. any links

Working over 65 degrees is not wise it will present all types of problems with your system and  to the glass. Most hoses and not made for this boiling water.Hot water will expand and put pressure on fittings hoses and and sooner or later some must give and crack glass more so old glass. Its not rocket science.

Lol. No.
There are 2 'clubs' one has the windows boarded over with signs/banners/adverts. It's actually quite a nice building but the local pill monsters wouldn't notice.
The other is the one Cowboy does. It's a bit better but still a dump.
Ironically, the strip club is probably the cleanest.
They have their windows blacked out.
