How hot do you want the water? And how much flow do you need?

Diesel burners used as an add on to pressurewashers will be massive overkill for window cleaning, the heat would be too hard to control and you would get heat spikes as the burner kicks in ( producing steam and burning the operative)

I don't know why window cleaners don't use insulated water tanks and just fill,up with hot water in the morning

yes it would be over kill mike just thought there may be something that may of been over looks buy the window cleaners as i know some on here have been useing them for years

thing the pumps run at 100psi and were useing a shower so i guess the heat would be around 80ish give or take
