Title: Hot water users.
Post by: DG Cleaning on July 29, 2014, 07:27:46 pm
If your Di only wouldn't you just be better off filling from the hot tap than having a boiler on board or am I missing something?

Yes, but make sure your tank is insulated or you could lose a lot of heat over the day.
I think there are a few on here who work that way.

I could see that being a ballache. Cost if using hot water every day, and not leaving to much water in the tank overnight so it does not make the hot water you are putting in too cold. Then having the tank look like a hobo sat in the back of your van all wrapped up in blankets etc. Quite happy with the simplicity of using a boiler.

I reckon it's cheaper to heat the water at home and you could fill in a morning so it stays warm all day.

You don't really want hot water in the di vessel. Check the specs on resin.Better to heat after the di.

Was wondering if hot water would effect the resin that would change things.

Hot water melts your resin beads. Makes it last a lot less than normal cold use.

It costs about £1 - £2 in lpg to run a boiler. Cheap as chips. I only use mine when I need to now.

Cold days or green Conny/facias.
