Did it come with cable ties securing the header tank and heat exchangers?

this is the first one straight after installation. I'll take some more tomorrow once I've put the rest of my stuff back in my van.

First impressions are it looks like a great bit of kit. I'll do an ongoing  review on it once I've been using it for a few days/weeks/months etc.

Thanks to Oliver and his team who were thoroughly professional and hardworking from start to finish. A real credit to the window cleaning industry IMO.

Not as much as those essentially pure boys used to laugh at the mugs paying what they did at the time lol,they must have been the most expensive wyvale tanks in the world.

Hi Walter Mitty

If your referring to me, unless you meant another Tony, no installations for many years, it’s a distant blur although I helped a friend out last year


I get grippa to install my vans now as I prefer there systems to what’s on the market or even a self build, it’s easier if you employ, to have the safest available

i got all my scheduled work done......but with cold water. ::)roll

i just couldnt get the heater to run for more than 5 mins once connected to my pole without the burner cutting out and fault codes 1 and 2 flashing up.an engineer is coming first thing tomorrow so hopefully its just a few first day teething problems.

im glad to be home and dry now.awful day weather wise and a frustrating day with the heater but ive put it down to "one of those days". :)
price higher/work harder!

Well done Daz. I know it's disappointing expecting something to improve your days work and it doesn't perform. Don't worry though, Grippa have an excellent customer service reputation and I'm sure you'll be sorted out very quickly.
Usually, a simple fix on something there used to working on.
Good luck mate 👍

how do you keep the heater running hot water into the tank then when turned off at the brush head? as you seem to have only 1 heat exchanger.

How are you operating yours Daz? 

Are you circulating back to tank throughout the day or just letting it turn on and off between jobs?

the heater doesnt turn off straight away pal when you turn your tap off on your pole.it takes 5 or 10 mins before it starts to shut down which gives me plenty of time to reel in the hose and plug into my tank.ive had this heater running continuously for 4+ hours for 3 days no problems.

keeping the heater running is the best way to keep the burner clean. :)

i have lots of work where im spending hours in one place.when i do eventually do a bit of driving about i always plug into the return to tank hose to keep the heater running.

I see i knew there was 5 mins or so before shutdown just wondered how the water is diverted to the main tank, is there a tap or something you just turn on then to divert the flow?
looks good mate
