I turn the immersion on at night and come the cold miserable morning I jump out of bed knowing that atleast I have hot water to work with and a supple hose to make the day easier. So I open the van door to check the temp and..........
I feel cold air not the warm air you've been used to and then I check the water temp to no avail.
Must have a blown fuse or something because I ain't got hot water, not even luke warm. So on this cold day, I'm using 10 degree, stiff hose making water.

Oh Dear, looks like its back to 35 properties with conservatories in 7 hours then. plus what happened to your 40 degree water that was left from yesterday ?

Nathan, any chance you could do a video of you fitting the fuse? I have just installed immersion heater not wired it up yet will be next week. Wondered if i could see how you fit your fuse and what you are using. Cheers
P.s - hope you get it sorted soon its been cold this week. We cant wait to be using warm/hot water in the winter.

That would be great, if I worked yesterday and so immersion wasn't on the previous night.
I hate working in cold damp weather, hoses get dirty with wet garden mud etc, the main hose snags much easier because it's so stiff and did I say I hate working in the cold damp weather 😂
Besides hot helping the clean, it also makes working in such conditions a whole lot more comfortable.
Jo5hm4n, sorry buddy its just the plug fuse I think. I'm currently using a 2kw element so I can simply plug via a normal extension socket.
Hot/warm water sure makes working in winter better, bet you can't wait 👍
-
Bad luck Nathan, have to ask why it blew the fuse? Would check all wires secure at immersion end.
You are right mate, i love the hot steaming water on the windows. Makes working so much better.
What temp you getting to now on2kw?

You're right Nathan, I was using real hot (not lukewarm ) over the weekend and having a warm hose meant I could work in my T shirt and shorts,

If that's your understanding of working comfortable then each to their own Sean 😳😂
But a soft supple warm hose is so much more manageable in this horrid weather. Plus it helps if its around your waist like I do on a holster, does make a difference.

To get into the 60's I have to run the immersion for quite a while from evening till morning on the first night, ie Sunday. Then during the week it's running from between 50's - low end of 60's depending on start temp and running times.
The problem. I have is that my immersion is near my rachet straps and the hook from the St p is banging against it sometimes and I think this has had an effect. I'm going to have a look over the weekend aboutsecuring things better
-
Maybe ones element has blown?
-
Could you put a video up of the moment you change the fuse please?

Each to their own Nathan but I prefer a pair of gloves and a warm coat to wrapping a warm hose around me.
Is this you ?

When you leave it on overnight d'you just leave it running with a return to the tank or d'you charge the battery up at the same time?

nathan when you buy a new van(and i mean new not second hand) just get a 9kw diesel heater installed by grippatank and have done with it......you wont regret it....their ace.......and will last you many years......
-
Daz why to you keep saying brand new van , I would never buy a brand new van , so does that mean I cant ever have one ?
If I wanted one I would buy the retro fit like yours and fit it myself , as long as its all in the cabinet its pretty easy isnt it , water in and out , fuel in , exhaust out ???
-
Hi Nathan did you find out the problem?

No , he didnt bother looking because he aint got a brand new van he aint allowed to have hot water ;D ;D

Yes , very easy , i fitted my old pure freedom one that i got secondhand , even had a bracket welded up to fit it by side door , its very simple , i bought as a non runner and fixed it too.
My new van has the ionics one built into the tank /frame and is in my opinion better as when you switch off the water with a tap/valve /univalve it automatically recirculates to the tank .

Dazmond spends most days on here trying to convince himself that he hasn't wasted a pile of money, getting others to follow and agree helps with that process.
Strangely enough Nathan does the same even though there's no need to justify with nonsense spending a few quid on an immersion to have supple hoses and frost control in the winter months.

the reason why i say a new van(or virtually new) is i dont see the point in installing a brand new professionally installed diesel heater in an older van....if you can buy one cheap second hand and can fit it yourself then go for it........
most of us window cleaners wouldnt have a hope in hell of fitting one of these heaters properly....

on the contrary.....i think its the best move ive ever made for my window cleaning business getting a new van and professionally fitted diesel water heater........i would of done it years ago if i could of afforded it rather than mess around with DIY hot systems.....its a joy to use....
i earn a lot more money than i used to so why not have the best tools and equipment for the job?when you get to a certain level of income £4.500 is not that much money to spend on a decent system esp if its gonna last 10+ years...ive just spent over 3k on a holiday to mexico for me and the missus next year for 10 days in a 5 star "gourmet all inclusive" hotel with 11 restaurants! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
NOW that WAS expensive for a holiday!........but you only live once....you cant take it with you! ;D ;D

Daz, Im glad you got your system and your happy with it. I've been thinking of buying one for years but can't justify the spend in my head even though I squander money on other gadgets on a regular basis.

Did we find out what the immersion problem was?
We all have problems! I upgraded my switch panel adding a voltmeter, tds meter and a water temperature guage, lots of illuminated switches etc.
Could I get the water temperature guage to work, all wired up ok but wouldnt work. A week later and its working fine.
Looking forward to seeing my toasty temperature in the morning.

Well I can tell you whats on the cards for me in the morning , 10 minutes of nice hot water then I will either blow my eyebrows off or the gas will run out :o :o :o
-
This is one of the most entertaining threads for ages and I haven't even got a hot system ;D
Nippy this morning but I'm just relieved I haven't spent thousands on a diesel heater >:(
Oh well I'll just have to manage :o

Why would I need a duvet when it's 4 degrees minimum temp?
Only use a duvet for frosty nights
Last year I used it about 10 nights max

No unfortunately without hot water Nathan didn't last long, it may be a while before he replies.

If you added up all the time people are out in there garage sodding about with Emmersions etc it would amount to days,just drop your van off and pick it up job done well worth the money those heaters all day long for just the hassle they save you.
-
I would have one. Only I haven’t got hours and hours to post about it on a window cleaning forum 😀
-
Its not been my week so far. My phone died and i phoned up to see if i took insurance out, only to find out i hadnt and to get out mu contract and renew with them would still cost over £600. So upgraded wifes phone to the new s9 so i could nab her old phone :'(
The immersion had a loose connection, so all is good on that front now 😀

-2 at work this morning in Scotland. My pole was even warming my hands up. :D
Had mine 4 weeks and it’s the best thing I’ve done since powered reels.
Daz gets a hard time as people say he is trying to convince others that a diesel system is worth the buy.....I think equally there is quite a few on here trying to convince themselves otherwise.
Funny old world ae? :)

If you weren’t on here so often Dave you might be out earning enough to buy 1 and not miss the money pal.

Did you ever hear of gloves ? and for you guys its more about convining yourselves that its money well spent than it is about convincing others, I can clean just as quick and to the same srandard as you with cold water and if I want supple hoses and a bit of frost protection which lets be honest is the only real advantage then a £30 immersion will more than do.

I'm fortunate to live far south enough not to need it.
If I lived where temperatures fell to - temps on most nights throughout the winter and in to the following day then it seems like a worthwhile investment. There were probably only 3 or 4 days last winter where it stayed so consistently cold that I could not possibly have worked. Even with hot water I'd probably have chosen not to - I earn and save enough through not spending out on a hot water system to stay in the warm and put my feet up when I choose to. For all the other cold winter days, if I want a bit of added comfort, I stick a pair of gloves on. I don't need to convince myself otherwise. Daz has worked hard and built a round up over a long period of time. If he wants/needs that bit of luxury to do his job ( required or not ) then good for him, he's earnt it.

The weather was the same in the NW (I live in the area that Daz works). I don’t clean domestics when it’s colder than -2°C and I lost less than 3 days last winter, the same the winter before also.
If people want a Gas heater for comfort then so be it, but it certainly isn’t a necessity.

Once you’ve had hot water you’ll think it’s a necessity if you all of a sudden go cold.

That was with gloves! It was warming everything up nicely. :)
I think the fumes from your diy shower bomb in the back of your van have gone to your head Sean. There is no way you can honestly think that freezing cold water cleans a window as quickly as hot?
Or do you have a round where every window is always crystal clean before you start? :)
I have lots of large properties surrounded with trees, and this time of year the hot water is cutting through the grease, melting the leaves that have stuck to the frames, and dissolving the salt off the windows from busy roads way quicker than cold.
In just the four weeks I’ve had it, I’m noticing I’m
Getting through the work Quicker. No matter what is on the glass, two quick scrubs and a rinse, done. I used to do this with cold, but every second or third window would always need a bit of extra attention. Not anymore.

That was with gloves! It was warming everything up nicely. :)
I think the fumes from your diy shower bomb in the back of your van have gone to your head Sean. There is no way you can honestly think that freezing cold water cleans a window as quickly as hot?
Or do you have a round where every window is always crystal clean before you start? :)
I have lots of large properties surrounded with trees, and this time of year the hot water is cutting through the grease, melting the leaves that have stuck to the frames, and dissolving the salt off the windows from busy roads way quicker than cold.
In just the four weeks I’ve had it, I’m noticing I’m
Getting through the work Quicker. No matter what is on the glass, two quick scrubs and a rinse, done. I used to do this with cold, but every second or third window would always need a bit of extra attention. Not anymore.
Grease LOL, one scrub and a rinse on the glass is more than enough Jonny, not joking you could save yourself a small fortune if you knew what you where doing.

I suppose melting leaves is better than melting concrete lol, and yes after 6 weeks there is very little on the glass that requires a lot of effort to remove.

-2 at work this morning in Scotland. My pole was even warming my hands up. :D
Had mine 4 weeks and it’s the best thing I’ve done since powered reels.
Daz gets a hard time as people say he is trying to convince others that a diesel system is worth the buy.....I think equally there is quite a few on here trying to convince themselves otherwise.

If you’ve never seen greasey tree sap on windows then I reckon you must leave some of your customers windows in some state. ;D
Regularly I have properties where I would need a quick spray of virosol to clean things up faster. Other wise you get brush marks In the dirt. Now I get sparkly clean and steamy windows. ;D

Brush marks in the dirt, what kind of dust bowl do you work in ?
To answer your question, no I rarely get tree sap on any of the windows I clean but if its there and I'm missing it then as long as my customers dont complain I wont be rushing out anytime soon to waste £4k.

Ones who dont use hot water in this scenario will scoff (sean!)
But,,,,, if you have concrete splatter on windows from a first clean or new drive etc etc, hot water softens it nicely for it to be removed very easily.
Im not on my own saying this either!

Believe me you are mate, check out some of the past builders clean threads on here and you will see that nobody else is silly enough to suggest using hot water as a way to remove hardened concrete on glass.
-
Thats because most on here dont use Hot water and so its easier to say get the chemicals out instead.
😂😂 same for fascia cleans or conny roof cleans; get the ciff or tfr out etc etc etc, when truth be told, HOT water, not warm water will work very well and youbdont have to rinse forever getting all the suds off 😀

If I see concrete splatter on the windows or frames I ask the customer to tell the workmen responsible to have it removed. After the mess you made of the guys patio doors I suggest you do the same😂
