I'm pleased with my magma by cleansmart,  not the cheapest but I like the variable temp. I think next time I will try the powrflite one tho.

I find heating from cold you should get 60-65c at upto 250psi,  or use to pre heat water then it gives really hot (supposed to celebrate capable of 110c) the wand valve and qc's are too hot to touch

Not really what you are after but just bought this water  heater off ebay for £50, rated to 3000psi and will produce steam, just working out how to use it with my  truckmount, the good thing about it is it does'nt require power and has a built in chemical injection system

A bit of wire brushing, some Hammerite paint and it will look as good as new ;)

As its gas you can really control the water temp' (just turn down the gas) I've been looking for a high psi , gas water heater for years, even thought of importing a little giant heater from the USA.

 for £50 this was  a bargain
