this is the first one straight after installation. I'll take some more tomorrow once I've put the rest of my stuff back in my van.
First impressions are it looks like a great bit of kit. I'll do an ongoing review on it once I've been using it for a few days/weeks/months etc.
Thanks to Oliver and his team who were thoroughly professional and hardworking from start to finish. A real credit to the window cleaning industry IMO.

Here is my photo. Mines a little different Daz, not the retro fit but was an upgrade to my grippa system,
Early days yet, but so far so good.

Haha I was thinking same. It looks a sweet set up for someone who thinks HOT doesnt make a difference other than comfortable working ;D

Does anybody really need the latest mobile phone ? does anybody actually need a shiny new van ? sometimes its more about the
feeling something gives you than what it actually does for your business.

Yeah well that won’t apply to this thread eh the blokes just got hot water he’s a proper poler now 😂

Hi Tony.
I'm not sure if Grippa would like me putting a picture of the inside working of their heating system though. I have had a look and it is a jungle of wires pipes and heating parts.
They moved my DI bottle to the side of the tank.

Keep up, Dazmond used hot right up until he got his new van, Nathan was wondering why he would pay so much when he doesn't
believe hot makes a difference.

Hi wibble
Not an issue, I’ll speak to Oliver he should have some photos
Just wanted to see general layout and how much space around pumps when it time to remove them
Ive got the cabinet and the air heater which will have to be sold if I go ahead
Just deciding if it’s time to do it again I’ve got two vans to sort to do a third next year plus buying 4 hose reels
So possibly an expensive time I’ve been quiet happy without hot for a year
-
Brand new van and one of these.
He's got some lolly has that lad

Do grippa still own the system then or are you not allowed to do whatever you want with something you've bought ::)roll?
Tony someone put a couple of pics up on another thread recently of the grippa one.

All that money for dust on a piece of glass! The Grippa Boys must be laughing all the way to Barbados!

Are you still doing installations, Tony?
-
Not as much as those essentially pure boys used to laugh at the mugs paying what they did at the time lol,they must have been the most expensive wyvale tanks in the world.

Things have certainly moved on over the last 10 years or so eh.

Ignorance is bliss for the seller knowledge is power for the buyer 😂

Hi Walter Mitty
If your referring to me, unless you meant another Tony, no installations for many years, it’s a distant blur although I helped a friend out last year
I get grippa to install my vans now as I prefer there systems to what’s on the market or even a self build, it’s easier if you employ, to have the safest available

It’s pitch black outside, but I bet daz is still
Hammering through work like a madman and dancing under his hot water. ;D
Looking forward to the first day review! 8)
i got all my scheduled work done......but with cold water. ::)roll
i just couldnt get the heater to run for more than 5 mins once connected to my pole without the burner cutting out and fault codes 1 and 2 flashing up.an engineer is coming first thing tomorrow so hopefully its just a few first day teething problems.
im glad to be home and dry now.awful day weather wise and a frustrating day with the heater but ive put it down to "one of those days". :)

Well done Daz. I know it's disappointing expecting something to improve your days work and it doesn't perform. Don't worry though, Grippa have an excellent customer service reputation and I'm sure you'll be sorted out very quickly.
Usually, a simple fix on something there used to working on.
Good luck mate 👍

Return to tank....

The guts.....
-
how do you keep the heater running hot water into the tank then when turned off at the brush head? as you seem to have only 1 heat exchanger.
-
How are you operating yours Daz?
Are you circulating back to tank throughout the day or just letting it turn on and off between jobs?
-

the heater doesnt turn off straight away pal when you turn your tap off on your pole.it takes 5 or 10 mins before it starts to shut down which gives me plenty of time to reel in the hose and plug into my tank.ive had this heater running continuously for 4+ hours for 3 days no problems.
keeping the heater running is the best way to keep the burner clean. :)
i have lots of work where im spending hours in one place.when i do eventually do a bit of driving about i always plug into the return to tank hose to keep the heater running.

I see i knew there was 5 mins or so before shutdown just wondered how the water is diverted to the main tank, is there a tap or something you just turn on then to divert the flow?
looks good mate

oliver made me up a short piece of hose with the relevant connectors on to plug into my microbore and then into my return pipe.takes 2 seconds. :)

Here's the return to tank via a short piece of hose
the 4 bolts that you can see on the side of the heater is where my pump is fitted.

Looking good Ime sure you will be very happy with it 😂😂😂😂 if I dont connect my return to tank within a couple of muinets maximum mine will shut down , yours looks a bit different to mine I expect yours is a newer model quality kit enjoy
