Just a few questions, if you wouldn't mind:

1/is it worth the money you've spent in your opinion?
2/how much does it cost to run?
3/have you got the 9kw or 5kw?

Thanks

Steve

1. Well worth it
2. 9kw
3. using it all day 8 hours costs about 4-5 quid at a push .

There are cheaper options like the l5 gas heater but theres no looking back for me with my 9kw heater, its even better than the ionic thermopure imo. The guys in grimsby are really helpful too. I reckommend the 9kw heater with a fitted frost stat.

Thanks James

Do you use it all day, every day, or just the winter?

I've installed a fogwash, but having serious problems with insurance

I've got the money to do it-just a bit nervous and want to make sure I make the right decision

Ta, Steve

do it mate, had ours 15month...works well, it did cost an extra 3k on top of our van mount but soooooo worth it..

it uses about a fiver a day in diesel if its on all day, but you can re-circle the water round back into the tank so just a few hours on in the morn heats the 500lt tank up and thats prob only £2-3 

we use all yr round as the brush just glides on the glass so much better when hot and makes the job easier so that cant be a bad thing

Brilliant bit of kit

I've also got the 9kw PF heater, Yes it's a cracking piece of kit but hard as hell on your batteries, I've got two leisure batteries powering the pumps and also a decent split charge relay, but still have to charge the batteries up on trickle charge on a daily basis if using the heater for a prolonged time.

Interesting to here from others who have this set up and how their batteries perform with the 9kw PF set up?

[Steve CM]

Batteries have never missed a beat. Faultless and charge fine off the van battery

Have you got the two man 9kw version? if so I think something may not be quite how it should be with my system  I have run this past Andrew at PF a number of times and he recons that a split charge relay will not put back in what the 9KW heater takes out, therefore daily charging of batteries is a must  wish they had mentioned this in their adverts

[david washbrook]

i have the pf 2man 9kw set up normally have to trickle charge for a few hrs a couple times a wk but when using the system on smaller jobs where the van is close by i sometimes leave it running

great system great service battries a bit of a down side but still glad i got it

[Steve CM]

Strange one. Never had an issue with the batteries.

It's the 9kw

[david washbrook]

can you get different size leisure batteries if so what size are your steve also i didnt think you used hot all the time steve cause i think its the burner that hit the batteries hard

[Steve CM]

not all the time as there is no need but now coming into the winter it will go on everyday. if i have any issues i'll post it up

[Pure Glass]

Were your batteries supplied by pure freedom, or did you supply your own?

Steve

[Steve CM]

All fitted by pure freedom

I have the same system,do you re-circle the water using only 1 or both pumps?

[Dave66]

both, pump2 has a valve that allows water to re-cirle and pump1 we just have some hose from the outlet back into the tank....warms up twice as quick obviosly

both, pump2 has a valve that allows water to re-cirle and pump1 we just have some hose from the outlet back into the tank....warms up twice as quick obviosly 

So pump 2 will have a valve around about the side door area with enough radiator hose to stretch back and into the lid of the tank yes??and you run pump 1 out to the external van port and back into the tank using more radiator hose?? ???Is this how you do it Dave?

[Dave66]

yes thats right...you have a valve tap on yours? is it the van mount from freedom?
