Pressure and hot water
« on: February 23, 2012, 04:29:03 pm »
How do you guys cope with the pressure building in your hose with hot water? Do you have problems switching from hot to cold and back again? My hose has just crushed another reel even though I reduced the pressure four stops on the Varistream calibration with warm water (minimum winter setting on a Fogwash).
I can't be the only one having problems surely?????

Ive just posted something similar on the spring controller thread,
I have the min setting on my old analogue varistream, and it still builds up too much for my liking, never distorted the hose reel though, and i have it set a bit higher on the fogwash than you.

What happens when you switch on first thing in the morning - surely the pump cuts out with the pressure of pushing cold water up the pole hose?

I reckon one of these new 2 dial analoue controllers will sort out all your problems.
WE CLEAN BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT WITH WATER FED POLE WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHT.

some guys seem to use hot water without any problems at all. I'm always chasing the pressure, there seems a massive difference between warm water and cold water - well on my system there is.
