Isothermal 2 with installation (9Kw twin operator) - £2600.00. Thats a good price for a 2 man add on, if you have the money.

Yes !!!! i had a demonstration and also worked for a day with someone who used one who admitted that now he had it it made sense to use it .as for washing clothes in hot water,that is because the soap powder needs hot water to activate it plus they are starting to make soap powders that work at lower temps.  Windows arent greasy either.

i WOULDNT BE WITHOUT IT in fact i would go out with cold the facts are it dries quicker I know for a fact
coz Ive got both hot and cold , for arguments sake if I do some hot or warm in this weather and some cold the hot ones are much drier than the cold ones , again leaving them wet when you go is ok BUT a lot of custies DONT like it !!they much prefer
the dry ones which has lead to a much bigger customer base it fact it has doubled in 4 years, Im not saying coz of hot but it
definatly helped and feed back from custies has put us right

Emperors new clothes!!!!! To be fair, if i had shelled out for hot, i too would convince myself that it performed better.

Invest in your business and you'll have a better business, emporers new clothes is a nice idea and maybe a good reason for some to stay as they are, but nearly all (not all) businesses that have leapfrogged to the next level have gone hot.By that i mean not spending ten or twenty years of your life before the penny drops, but doing something now, this year, and reaping the benefits.

yeah, i agree with the above ,  its trying to justify the big money shelled out .  the one small benefit could be if the windows dried instantly it might please the customers ,

not convinced on this yet.

The cracking glass puts me off, I tried cleaning my bathroom window with hot water and it cracked it.

I want convincing it is worth me spending over 5 grand to kit out vans.

the second thing what happens when they break down which they will, who fixes them and at what cost ?

What do they really cost per day to use if you are full time 9-5 ?

Do you need different hose pipes and or pole hose pipe ?
What about connectors do you need different connectors as hoselock are made for cold water?

I will think of some more later, as I said i need convincing.

You worked for a day with someone who had a hot system. Not enough IMO to make an informed judgement.

The work the next day would have been the same.therefore same results,therefore same conclusion!!!
I rest my case and no further questions your honour!!!!i  i thank you and goodbye.

There is no way they had it working hot enough for you not to see better results and quicker drying time,also if you clean frames with hot the difference is instant for you to see.
