As long as your machine and the external heater both have standard male and female connectors, and assuming the pressure capabilities of the heater are matched or exceed the machine, then there should be no problem whatever heat system you get.
Just dont get one that has a max pressure less then the pressure of your machine.

Here is Solutions site that Stu Clark referred to but I don think I have seen the heater on it.

Get Stu to email a pic of it to you.

If its the same as I have it will have 2 chambers in it so you can have full heat of half heat. Sometimes handy on upholstery.

Just dont leave these devices on too long when no water flowing thro.

Do you not use a heater Clinton? Is it worth getting one do you think?

Hi ryan

Have always used built in heaters and i did use an inline heater on a prochem few years ago but never got that hot ???

Maybe when i had the pump on full it did not have time to heat up.

The ashbys site  have a video of there machine working with in house heater and the booster heater also.

Am going to get another back up machine when the right deal comes along and would go for the inline heater for tough dirty jobs..

where did you get that Joe ?? and how much ?

I got it when I bought my Scorpion 2nd hand some 18 months ago now.

I understand it was purchased new with the machine from Solutions UK. Probably cost about £450 +vat.

I understand Solutions still sell in-line heaters but dont show any on their web site.
Give them a call if you need to know more.

I think if you look on worldofclean and look under the scorpion machine,
at bottom of page it lists related extras,
mentions Metor at 395+ vat, i think thats the in line heater they sell.

Thanks for the picie and the mail you sent us :)

Was good to chat again thanks :)

Clinton

Steam release, Clinton

I presume if you leave it switched on with no flow of water it will build up heat/pressure and need somewhere for that energy to go.   Safety valve if you like.

Recall an earlier post, I said something like - dont forget to switch off when not using it.
I was referring to heat/pressure build up.
