OK I have been reading about thermo pure water, And every one has good things to say about it. So I decided to see it for myself.

Now I dont have a mortgage to pay Ionics for the Thermo system. So What I did was to put some pure water in a pot and boil it, Then put the water in my backpack and cleaned the Windows ( sad I know )  

The results

WEll the windows were clean and spotless I forgot to check the T.D.S reading,But the windows still took 3 hours to dry, and thats with me bringing the water to boiling point, I know that this is not the Ionics system and it was just for testing purposes and I should of cleaned some windows the old way and see which one is quicker, Apart from not freezing in the winter does the thermo system have other benefits over the reach and wash ( like less spotting and so on ) Am I missing somthing     :

and have any of you lot done crazy experiments with the rinse and wash

Funny you should mention this. I had the exact reverse today. Two mates came by while I was working and stopped for a chat. I had a couple of tea bags handy, took the out hoselock off the boiler for a second and brewed up.

There is a hot trolley system and it's quite cheap- Andwat.co

i have been thinking of making a home made portable heating system for this, having a portable inline heater box.
i dont know how safe it will be but im going to make one.
simply using a aluminium box about 1ft x1ft
having a small gass hob with small gas bottles. with small ezsnap connectors on each side of the box. then have 7 or 8mm copper pipe coiled around the gas hob several times, with a switch to ignite the gas, this should run for about 2 hours on one tank for £2.50 and then just replace the gas tanks. you regulate the flow from the varistream / flowmaster and it plugs inline- have vents in the top in the back of your car or on a small trolley outside the car, should heat the water sufficiently as it flows through the coil, and the copper tube is small enough.
i dont recommend this unless someone knows what their doing but i am going to have a go at it.
would only cost about £20

Are you sure that's not a whisky still?

[Jon-scwindows]

its one of my ' not yet made ' inventions!
i normally make stuff myself rather than buying it ready made.

hopefully it will work. works as a whisky still on the weekends

couple of questions and at your age will be no (1 have you been trained for corgi or gas instalation) 2 do you kow anyhting about pluming in gas) advise for you, dont be stupid, leave gas in an enclosed place alone do, you can kill yourself, if you are not worried about yourself think of the others that could get hurt.

Thank you jonrob for sharing you Ideas with us, A D.I.Y thermo system sounds good, like windowwashers said its best to be safe, But dont let that hold you back from inventing, remember where theres a will theres a way

[john tomkins]

Looks totally unsafe.... sorry
Main safety concern is how are you going to turn off and ignite the gas when you shut off/turn on  the water flow?
Your insurance might also be a problem.

you can buy cheap hot boxes for a pressure washer i wonder if these could be adapted for wfp
