An imminent  upgrade to the two man hot water to go with my cold 650 litre grippatank system

Anybody who can give some feedback on reliability, actual heat received at the brush on a cold day like today with hose reel fully unwound,  and how it fares in everyday use, any breakdowns? would be greatly appreciated

I would get a demo first. I found the Pure Freedom Isothermal 1 diesel heater was not powerful enough to heat water enough to make a difference. The grippa system may be better but you may find the more powerful unit better.

I have a Varitech heater it heats the water more than hot enough

Do you have the 9KW version?

I have the second heater they made Kevin Red had the first,it's a single operator version mine puts out hot enough water that you wouldn't want to jump in a bath that hot lol around 55 degrees

We run 3 Grippatank hot systems, had the very first and helped develop it with them.

Great systems, and most importantly, great service.

We are too busy to have vans off the road, and the back up we receive from Grippatank is second to none, minimising down time and money lost, should anything ever go wrong, or we need a new system, or any parts.

We never go anywhere else because we don't want or need to.

There is a trick with those heaters you can do to make the water hotter it is a simple fix that takes about 10 minutes and costs about a tenner if your not getting enough heat out of it.

Thank you all for the usefull info

The single operator diesel heaters were using 5kw diesel heaters (usually Webasto Thermo Top C) which didn't seem to keep up with heat demand.

The 9kw ST90 used on the 2 man operator units works a lot better. It also has a different heating cycle profile which works better in our wfp application.

Thanks for that info, I was initially going with a single man hydro  to keep cost lower, but wanted both hot, and now that confirms that's the best choice
