has anyone tried carrying hot water in containers, do you thing it would stay hot for a few hours, i have a whole shop front exterrior to do tomorrow morning,
-
Not being funny mate but wouldnt cold water do it?
-
do you thing it would stay hot for a few hours,
No. Think - how long does a bath of hot water stay hot for? And there's your answer
-
yes i mainly use cold, but this is a full shop valet, signs canopys shutters and painted walls then glass, so was just thinking as i dont have a hot system, i would fill containers specialy for this job,
-
It'll stay warm 3 or 4 hours,... I used to bring hot water with me when i was trad in 25 litre drums, just throw an old duvet over them to keep the heat in. Seems like a lot of hassle tho for wfp.

a bath is open so will lose heat faster, this water is contained

thanks nathan, the water is only for this job front, if it stays hotish for at least 2 hours that will do me

I used to fill my 25 litre containers up in shower(not piping hot ) and thatd be hot for ages so long as it wasnt winter
so if you stuck boiling water in i reckon itd be hot all morning
-
??? you got a pure water shower?
-
Trad mate
tds is 32 though so not far off :)
MIght get an ro/di on it though and save money on soap and shampoo :)
-
i run mine through the di vessel
-
i fill my tank straight from the hot tap anyway as tds is low and only use a DI, i turn the boiler off in the summer when i am filling but leave it on when its freezing and have lovely water for a couple of hours ;D
-
got the job done, the hot water stays hot for 1 hour, then 1half hrs it is warmish, 2hrs was luke warm, but i have to say it was a warm day and this would have helped to keep them warm, and i have to say the hot water does move the dirt much more easily than cold, i think from now on with first cleans i will use the warm water
-

yep feed through the DI and into the containers, simply take the head off the shower and plug into the slot....simples.
unless you are in a hard lines i mean water area ;D
