If you use I.......s you will probably find this not to be true as they supply cheap batteries and the heater packs in due to them having low voltage, so having hot water for more than five minutes is very rare.

The first thing that happens to hot water is that it gets cold. So why should it dry any quicker?

I think it dries, then gets cold.  Look in your kettle and see it furring up.

The hotter water is the quicker it evaporates. If it is evaporating or steaming at all while you are cleaning then I suppose it might dry quicker.

400 times quicker has got to be bollox though.

Just worked it out, If it takes say 1/2 hour to dry normally, then 400x faster it would dry in 7.5 seconds.

So if that was the summer time when the windows dry in 10 mins, 400x faster(i mean that you will have to work 400x faster) sounds tiring to me!

also the water would dry before the glass was rinsed of ???

talking of hot water is anyone using peter fogwill hot system ??? any good

I have been using it for 3 weeks, and it has fired every time and has run brilliant. It has supplied hot to 2 people all day.

But I need to upgrade to some heatproof hose.

To be honest it has really surprised us how much better it is. A lot of my work is 8 and 12 weekly so some times they are very dirty. But they come up to a great shine with one pass of the brush.

I thought to use it on only cold morning's, but the difference is so great, we use it all day.

We also getting through jobs quite a lot quicker. They say it comes into its own on first cleans, so perhaps that's why we notice such a difference as a lot of jobs are large 8 - 12 weekly.

Thanks for reply Roy, next question, do you think the extra cost of adding heat is offset by the extra work done? Reason I ask is that a lot of my work is 8 weekly and some of it, as you say, can be really dirty and this time of year it's a much harder job imo to shift dried on bird poo for eg.

I agree with Roy, i also have one of peter's heaters. I would definitely say the cost of 200 quid is easily offset by the work done, even if its just being able to work one winter on the few freezing days/early mornings. I really do struggle to see hoe these 2-3000 pound heaters can pay for themselves, well not for years anyway.
