Looks good, does the frame have a casing or left open as in video

I think this has been asked before... can it be left on over night to stop system for freezing
It comes as an open frame due to being a retrofit item , you can box it in once fitted up

You could leave it on low overnight yes , I just run mine for a couple of hours at about 75% heat before bed , this usually gives enough heat in the tank to act as a big radiator

Ok great, can the system turn itself off automatically after 2 hours?

ideally we need a system that can be set on defrost setting, is this an option with this system?

Our employees take the vans home, so need to set it and leave overnight

They don’t come with a frost stat setup like a Grippa or the like , but they do have a timer you can set to come on and off overnight , however in order to use this the water pump would have to be left on all night as the heater cannot turn the water pump on by itself !
This is why I just do it manually  2 hours before bed as and when I see a cold snap coming , again this is dependant if you can rely on the workers remembering to turn them off !

Hi P&F

Well done for persevering with this project.
I have a few ?s

I run as a single operator .
I run a pump on full bore ( no varistream )
I use between 500 and 700ltrs a day.
What sort of temperatures would I expect at the brush head with your system?

At a guess I would say in the region of 35-45 degrees if you recirculate back to tank you will think you are getting very hot water but it’s only because the water in the reel is very hot,after about a few minutes it’ll cool back down.
If I do this with my diesel heater it get proper hot to hot to use tbh this time of the year.

Hi Tris , it’s hard to say , if you tell me what pump , bore and length of hose to use as well as what jets you use I can do a mock up and see , I may even know roughly already !

Well the first system got fitted today for John of See Throo Southampton , went very well , no pics yet as John wants to do a few little bits first !
Cracking bloke as when we were packing up he told me he had a few bits I might want to make use of as I fitted free ...
Only went and gave me a box of carbon filters and an Xtreme 25 with loads of life left in it  :o :o  :o
Cheers John you diamond ;D
