first day using it with my chiwanese stainless heater and just feels better scubbing and rinsing glass and best of all it keeps my ickle hands warm!
i would definately recommend getting a heater of some sort to anyone, i cant comment on reliabiliaty of these stainless 8l models but its cheap and cheerfull and working at moment so see how long it lasts but its doing great at moment.
only downside is my gardiner all season pole hose and yellow reel hose has gone like silly string!, i got some red pole hose to put on and will have to get some reel hose but whats the difference between gardiner thermobore and thermobore plus hose?

had my chines heater two years with no problem it eventually gave up when it would only fire up when running pump above 60 so replaced it , new one runs lovely .
-
Had my fog wash around 4 or 5 years, good lil shower not sure if you can get these anymore. Only use it in extreme cold frosty and snowy days
-
Fired mine back up today and scorched through my work. Record day.

i have to say i got through my work alot quicker inc a few first cleans, would that be because of the hotsystem or just me working harder!
im running mine on 30 at the moment.

Are you using the 6L propane heater or something else.

been around for years. 💻

Are you telling me to hack his computer!
I was looking at the same one as Dangerous Darren, but keep putting it off. An outside hot tap is my next idea.
-
Lol I'm using the 8l ah meny stainless heater as opposed to the White 6l models!

Still cannot believe we have not heard a murmur from the Bureaucrats on this forum about being unsafe and gss bottles exploding..and insurance sh.............. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.

Lots of stuff can be dangerous when incorrectly used. Take manual handling training for example they'll throw a pen on the floor and ask someone to pick it up, and the class dumpling jumps up and performs the classic back injury manoeuvre. Its easy to point at potential risks but if you know what they are you can minimise the risk.

So the sensible solution would be to remove the risk or not create the risk in the first place.

Here we go again ..... ;D

Damn you slap bash.....you woke them up!

SHHHH !!!!! There dropping off back to sleep now lol ;D

I know nothing about hot water. Had a look at systems and they range from £125 to £3,000. Anyone point me in the right direction for one of these budget chinese affairs you are talking about?
-
Get the corwoods heater. It's under £200 and comes with everything you need apart from the lpg bottle. And it has no 20 minute cut out.
It's awesome. :)

The 'time cut-out' on some portable shower units is after 20 minutes of continuous flow....so not a problem.
-
The stainless 8l models don't have the cut off or at least mine doesn't?

If you do commercial or very large properties then it is......
All chiwanese heaters have the cut off from what I've seen. It's 20 minutes continuous flow.

Thanks...just what I needed to know :)

Use hot then go back to cold you'll soon beg borrow and steal to buy a hot system IMO,this time of year is a nightmare using cold unless you don't mind spending 10 minutes scrubbing snail trails off of patio doors or trying to get green plastic back to white again.Mine runs at about 60 degrees and I don't turn it down till the mornings are frosty.
-
i have to say im doing my jobs twice as quick with less scrubbing,i cant stop using it now just not sure how long the gas will last i got a big 19kg bottle.
-
The gas system seller will tell you it's cheaper to run but there not mate,I use about £25 worth of diesel roughly every 2 and a half weeks so peanuts to run,when I tried gas I was going through more than that a week in gas
-
The only thing with gas is that you can fine tune the temp better but that's only useful in the really cold days,there is a trick to do this with the diesel heater though
-

I go through about 13kg gas every 3 - 4 weeks, every day use at £24...me thinks gas is cheaper :)
-
it works out at about £3 a day in gas to use hot water all day every day for me.
-
I used to use a standard size gas bottle about every 5-6 days when I was gas
-
So it seems gas is cheaper to run & £3800 cheaper to install. ;D
-

You must of had a gas leak ;D
