Title: Thermobore?
Post by: Sapphire Window Cleaning on December 01, 2009, 06:43:36 pm
Do any of you know where you can purchase 100mts of thermobore?
I am thinking that using this may reduce the risk of the hose freezing on really cold days.

With its insulating propeties, would it prevent the water from freezing in really cold weather?

Is there really a issue with water freezing in the hose on very cold days?

its better to use it with hot system, it keeps water at temp easier i found than normal.

if your only using cold normal pipe should be ok, like guys say its at the brush end things tend to freeze.

having said that your in essex now, dont get that cold down here compared to up north

I am getting customers from the flyers, Yell.com and the website.
Just picked 3 customers up today, whilst out cleaning, over £100 in monthly value, so I am all smiles at the mo.

I would imagine thermobore would help stop the reel freezing quite effectively,... but if it did freeze during an extra cold spell, the kettle of water trick probably wouldn't work to defrost it!
