Window Cleaning Forum / Re: RO in winter.....
« Last post by dazmond on Yesterday at 08:47:10 am »
Looks like tonight is going to be below freezing for the first time this winter. Forecast down to -5 here overnight so both oil filled radiators will be on(one in the van and one in my RO shed).

Don't get caught out lads!🙂👍

Over here in Canada, I don’t have to concern myself with MOTs, they don’t have them here.

Nor road tax.

Really? So no test whatsoever to see if your vehicle  is roadworthy?

A dpf clean needs to be done in 2 stages.

The first stage is to remove the soot and then do a reverse flush to remove the ash. If the ash chamber is full, then doing a forced regeneration isn't going to solve the problem.

This video clip of Jimmy O'Rileys Auto on YouTube explains it perfectly.

How are you guys storing the hose?
15 metres of 1/2 on a reel, no problem
15 metres of 3/4 I haven’t found a solution to store it.
I have about 10 metres of 2 inch hose, I just roll it up (coil memory) and slam it on top of my IBC tank.

That is the output Wattage Spruce. Input is more around 1KW

Did the immersion heater work well for you? I fitted one before but totally ruined my tank. It was an expensive error for me and was quite costly to run. But it was so nice to have warm pipes!

Yes. I initially ran 3KW but all the connections got hot. I thought about getting a 16 amp socket wired in professionally to the house electrics board but ended up getting a bespoke 2KW which I have run since before COVID.

How did you ruin your tank?

Mine has been fine.

But I don't run it for 'hot' like you would get from a diesel heater - just 'warm'.

So rarely above 30 degrees in the tank.

Get them to check the vaporizer first.

If the vaporizer is clogged, your van wont be able to go through a regeneration cycle and therefore will clog up. (The vaporizer injects the fuel to burn off the soot when going through a ‘regen’ cycle; google it, it’s a semi common issue on Customs once they get to a certain age/use)

You’ll also have an idea of whether it’s failing to ‘regen’ by checking the oil quality.

I have 12m of 1 inch hose in the garage, I just coil it in a stack of loops and it goes on the floor next to my tank and RO system.
