Genuine question... how hot does it need to get then?
I still struggle with being convinced hot water is faster on routine maintenance cleans. Were all creatures of habit and work to our own default speed, it would be hard to break that habit after all these years. 1st cleans and facias, yeah, i can get that but as an established wc who rarely does facias these days and lets face it, not all 1st cleans are that dirty, plus an additional £25 a week plus initial outlay to recoup....Squeaky says it will pay for itself over winter yet there seems to be an increasing number of hot water users on here who wont go out when its freezing!!! why is that? Genuine question again, are they scared of breaking a window given temperature extremes of water against freezing glass? Seems bizarre that they don't when this is a perfect opportunity to work when us cold water boys cant. Im definitely not knocking hot water users and at this price for the heater itself then it certainly starts to warrant a further look, but im still yet to see a convincing argument for it.
Also, whilst i have a lot of time for Squeaky, telling viewers he gets a commission on sales for it through his link sort of nullifies his impartiality.
My opinion is it’d be nice having hot water, but it won’t make you any more money, it’ll only reduce your profit. The cost to buy it and then run it is going to cost more than any benefits.
There is no way it’s going to make you more money as you’re still cleaning the same amount of windows each day.
Anyway, I can’t be bothered to watch the whole video, does it recirculate through the tank? Does it have a frost stat to stop water freezing overnight?
