Title: 8l lpg water heater do i need new hose for warm water ?
Post by: Paul erithwc on October 13, 2014, 02:26:50 pm

Im looking at getting a heater for early morning work but i was going to have the water just warm below 50°C out the heater to save changing the brushes and hoses ect or would 50°C water be ice cold at the pole end i only use about 10- 20 meters off the 100m reel when doing my window cleaning work.

What im trying to do is set up a all year round solution ;D

Thanks Paul

A L8 will easily produce hot water, your problem will be producing a warm water as most w/c pumps at best puts 5 liter through the heater.You would have to turn the gas setting right down and flow up.
As its difficult to get a constant flow of warm water not hot it would be wise to use PU hose like thermabore. I would say normal hose will not last long under these circumstances.

Perhaps an 5l heater would be better then im not sure  ???

I just don't want to have hose thats only good for hot water and rubish with cold water as most of my work will be cold water.
