I use a chepo lpg water heater myself which is mounted on a purfreedom trolley in the van by the side loading door.
I don't do spending silly amounts of money on kit when I don't have too.

[slap bash]

I would not bother its over rated and I have used a gas boiler for 3 years  and three units later decided its not worth it and I don't think it cleans better. all the hassle of fitting and hoses bursting, not thanks.

[Smurf]

That surprises me you say that as I find using hot is brilliant on first cleans etc.
Tree sap, bug & bird poo, salt deposits if living by the sea etc all melts away no bother to mention a few things hot can do.

If you want my honest opinion I don't rate cold pure water very much at all

If you can get electric supply out to the van you can use an immersion heater.

I thought about doing that myself then though b******s I want hot water on demand instead.
I also have the option to use customers tap water or pure from the van to use hot depending what I'm cleaning.

m using hot more or less all the time, i think its worth the investment, i too use a LPG L5 water heater, costs about £1.00 a day to run, that will vary of course.

Hi bob
Where do you get one from,how much ?,is it a big job to install ? Cheers dale

[dazmond]

i wouldnt bother mate.i was spending £52 a month on gas using it every day.then the price of hot water hose,the actual heater.the messing about going to get bottles and changing em etc.blown hoses,connectors,faffing.i had it running great just before last xmas and then i forgot to drain the heater properly over xmas.yep.you guessed it!i knackered it!!

i reckon it does clean a bit better and its nice to have warm supple hoses on a cold day but not needed IMO.

I dumped the heater and hot water hose at the tip a few months ago.

I only use hot for about three weeks of the year. Pointless these temps.

The immersion is the route for me. Ran mine for 5 years self-installed at £55 for the bits. Still going strong. Supple hoses are great in winter. Just put it on a timer depending on the forecast the next day.

Hi to agree hot water a complete waste of time ive used mine about 3 times in the last 6 months. Having said that I only do 99% windows If your doing a lot of one off none windows then fine.

I have the PF Isothermal 1 diesel heater and certainly do not rate it. For me it was a waste of time and money.

[Smurf]

I do alot of what I call exterior deep cleans so hot water & soap is better than cold by miles.
You would not wash baked on  filthy dishes with just cold water now would you

i wouldent pay £2000+ on a diesel heater but a £150 gas set up all in is defo wrth a punt i think, i had a nte mare to day scrubing bird crxxxap of a 3 story window even using the super scraper with bronzwool pad on it lol took ages

Webasto type diesel water heaters are relatively cheap to buy as that is all is in a really expensive diesel  water heater box whatever brand you look at.  Apart from a hot water exchange unit added etc but they are really expensive to maintain.
That is why I went for a cheapo lpg gas water heater myself as are a simple throw away item unlike paying out over a grand a time to get a webasto heater serviced by the likes of ionics
