How much did you put in per 100l mate?

And how do you go hot? Is it expensive?

Thanks,

Dean.

Not at all it stops everything freezing even with that amount,to stop freezing and for superior results go hot.I did a house today it`s a once a year jobbie that`s well priced and the frames had gone green,it took me less than half the time it would have done cold and that`s the truth.

i cant afford hot at the moment.... but how do you stop it freezing overnight.. do you leave the whole gas thing on, and release so much hot  water into your pipes?

it sounds good i may go for it but unfortunately, it may well be the back end of winter  ::)

Just fire it up in the morning and off you go,as soon as any water passes through the heater in a couple of minutes you will have a warm floppy hose to use.After about 10 mins or so you can feel the pole getting warm,i`m not joking lol. ;D

Has anybody got any pics or diagrams?
