What pressure will the Heat 'n' run take and what pressure is your pump?

If you have 300psi hose, it may be necessary to upgrade to 3000psi. Even @ 100psi and very hot water, a 300 hose is more liable to blow fittings.

On longer hose runs, move the heater closer to the wand.

Be careful not to heat set hose pressure marks in customers carpets, esp. polyprop.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

Well i used my heat n run today on my carpets,  and what a difference heat makes i think it will take a bit of getting used too. I did a piece without heat then a piece with heat and you could see the difference.

I have a v2 steamate, and it is like night and day adding heat, or maybe i`m doing something wrong to start with. I can have hot water from cold in the tank. good for eol with no hot water. I blew a fitting when the machine quick connect came loose and was pumping steam thru the wand.
