Title: First full day hot
Post by: Count Phil on January 09, 2009, 08:20:46 am
First day with my £200 hot water add on.

Had it at 40 degrees or so. No cracked glass.

Best thing, soft hose pipe, no kinks or tangels.

Well worth 200. see how I get on today.

I found that it froze just leaving the brush alone for a couple of minutes. The jets and Y piece still froze up.
I think even using hot you would need an almost constant flow to prevent this.
How do you hot water users get over this problem?

Why not just pump some hot water into a bucket and if the y bit and jets freeze a quick dip and away you go again.

That's what I had to do, take the pole hose off and soak the whole lot in hot water.

now this is what they should be selling in all sizes of water tanks, even this tank would work for a small operator, i have said this all along, we dont need gas heaters, if these where around at a more reasonable price, i bet if this manufacturer knew there was a water fed pole market for there product, they would make them. especially if they where just making them straight square shapes, rather than the complicated one here, it would be so simple for them to do this, the water stays hot at 80c for over 4 hours then gradualy drops,

how do you get the water to 80 c though that is the trouble.
Title: Re: First full day hot
Post by: jouk45 on January 10, 2009, 04:50:01 pm
this tank needs no heater, it is specialy insulated, you run hot water through the di into the tank and thats it, it stays hot, no electric or gas

what i mean joe is how would someone using an ro like most of us heat the water, my tds is around 500, so i wouldnt be able to use hot water from the tap. also how would you control the heat, you can use 80 c water on cold windows or old glass.

you would only use hot water direct from the tap and not boiling, although this container can stand that kind of heat, a few guys have use hot tap water through the di with no problems, i dont know to much about ro as i am completly di, yes for some it would take ages to fill this container,  ;D

These fill and heat fill and heat,you would use that in no time and then you would have to wait for it to heat again.
