just curious .. what temperture do you clean at? i like it piping hot. some have it luke warm but i find it cleans better piping hot, it can be a bit expensive though .... now its getting colder i'll turn it down a tad . i wouldnt want any cracked glass. thanks in advance
-
Don't really see the point of only having the water Luke warm unless its the winter, Luke warm water doesn't really occomplish much, it's just wasting the money invested in the equipment.
-
last two days have been playing with the temp and must admit i like it hot, rather than luke warm and i feel it cleans better
-
my thoughts as well ..
-
Luke warm for me - just enough to get a little steam on the glass. Had a window crack last year - frightened the life out of me (and cost dear).

Just enough to steam a bit

+1 - exactly the same scenario. Cracked window in April, not the coldest month either.

Outside temp was -3 my water was about 20 and had a double glazed unit go three storeys up.
Single pane glass makes pretty alarming noises too :o

wow! dave.20 degrees can only be luke warm and you still managed to crack a pane at -3? ::)roll
-
Gotta be Luke warm just enough to keep the hoses soft and stop the jets from freezing so all good Inda hood 😜

Quite right ... unless you are doing a minging first clean from mingingland in which case hotter might help.

Wait 'till you hear them creaking and groaning - you'll need to carry spare underpants in the van.

I haven't used hot but I can well imagine it can happen.
I think they call it thermal shock, if going from -3 to +20 degrees in an instant there's bound to be the odd glazing unit with some brittleness that will not yield with the instant temperature change and go pop.
Hope you're well insured Daz! ;D
