Next question to you guys  because I'm on the fence with this 1. Do you really think a hot water system is that beneficial is it not just a luxury ?  Experience tells me that cleaning windows at freezing temperatures as got to be a massive  h/s issue after you've left the job you are doing hot water or cold. In the past few years  if it doesn't get to 2 degrees  by lunchtime I can't see the point in going out. So is the hot water system a costly luxury??

If you can't afford it, it is a costly luxury.

Most of us have managed for years without heat, so its not an absolute necessity.

Three hundred degrees ??? Where do you work - the earths core?

I good truck mount and a good carpet cleaner will clean most carpets between 200/300 degree and about 300/500 psi dave  northing breaks down dirt quicker and faster then steam  ;D

I think susan means 300 f not 300 c dave ;D
300 f = 148.88 c  which is classed as super heated water (very hot steam in other words to you and I)  ::)roll

took from the hydra master web site ore do you know better then them ??  maybe you just need to stop talking about something you know northing about

Water temperature

Perhaps the most significant benefit to cleaning with a truckmount vs. a portable is the high water temperatures truckmounts can sustain. The hotter the water the better and faster results you’ll get from your cleaning chemicals. Some portables have tried to add heaters, but just can’t compete.

If, on the other hand, you’re comparing solution temperatures on competing truckmounts, you should know that it’s not good to rely on the temperature gauge of every machine out there. For instance, if a temperature gauge sending unit is located on or near the heat exchanger, you’ll see artificially elevated temps.  Some machines also raise temps by restricting water flow. That’s not good because fewer gallons per minute mean less effective cleaning. 

Another thing you’ll want to look for is sustained heat. Many machines out there reach temps of 230 degrees to 250 degrees, but during a typical cleaning cycle (or if a rotary tool is used), the actual temp drops drastically and can take too much time to recover—that causes carpet streaking.  HydraMaster truckmounts are designed to maintain precise temperature control with minimal variation, so you're assured optimal sustained heat at all times.

Susan it's in F you numpty not C   ;D  http://www.hydramaster.com/Products/Truckmounts/CDS48OverdrivewSalsa.aspx
Yanks like to use F when talking about temps but I can think of another meaning to use for your tone  ::)roll

Oh and by the way Susan you don't have to own a truck mount to know you can't clean carpets etc with 300 °C
1. No one would be that stupid to try making a truck mount machine that can deliver temps of 300 °C for a start.
2. You would destroy the fabric/fibres of what you would be trying to clean as they would just melt.
3. It would be very unsafe to humans too so would be a bit of an H&S issue somewhat.

212 °F = 100 °C boiling point of water so do you get my drift now...Just admit you made a mistake  ;D

Regarding best truck mount you may find this vid interesting  from a guy that knows a wee bit about truck mounts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=girHwhw76ZE

can someone explain the benefits of spending 3 thousand pounds plus on a diesel heater when you can have a gas set up done for a couple of hundred?

I've looked at a Grippa hot system and the gubbins which is in mine is on that system only its not in a cabinet,if I had to choose a new system tomorrow it would be from Grippa having it all installed on the drive at home and off to work the next day sells it to me. Next to ionic which is over engineered IMO it's looks the most neat and tidy,they use John guest fittings  on everything to which are leak free as well as hassle free. Quick and easy to change resin etc with John guest fittings.How much does it work out for a 7-800ltr 2 man system for a delivery system with a resin vessel on board.

Thanks for your feedback NWH! Can certainly organise a price for you - would you mind emailing us and we can email the quote over to you?
