What made me change onto hot.......
I changed onto wfp to make this job easier, so achieved that by getting rid off the ladders n a bucket. Wfp is great and so easy in comparison, that came winter or colder days i didnt want to be working with cold hoses and them kinking etc. I also went wfp so i didnt loose days off work due to it raining. So i also didnt want the cold or snow causing freezing on the windows. So i went down the warm/hot water route. The fish/pond heaters got the temp upto 32/34 degrees C, which gave warm hoses n pole which isbrilliant n a delight to work with. At brush end it was tepid. But i could see a difference in cleaning esp as i had nearly 2mnths of work, so dried on bird mess etc. So now i want it hotter than the restricted heat of pond heaters.
So;
*Warmer, easier hoses n warm pole.
*Improved cleaning compared to cold esp on colder days.
Also.going down route of electric reel, just to make this job easier. A friends has done a change in career and so im taking on an extra £450 of work. So a slight increase on electric bill due to the immersion being on after midnight at cheaper rates anyway, is well worth the comfort of an easier days work.
Just my opinion
