imo hot water is quicker bird poo, pollen ,cob webs. snail trails  all come off a lot quicker with hot then you have easy hoses to reel in water flows faster through the hose then if you add 10 mill of dimond shine its quicker again

Even luke-warm water in winter makes all the difference to hose management.

Which is why at £1600 I’m thinking it may be worth a punt?

I’ve never really had a problem with hose management in the winter, perhaps because i use 8mm minibore, so it’s let ‘wiry’ than 6mm micro.

I still can’t make the numbers work, it’s another cost for no more profit.

I’d love hot water, but the cost to run these things and the initial outlay puts me off. Especially the maintenance, extra battery’s needed etc.

If I was going to actually make me more money, then I’d go for it.

The real way to make more money in this game is getting more work. Or better paid work.

My round is at a lovely sweet spot these days, nothing really needs to be added, it’s all in a very healthy place.

Be interesting to see how some of you guys get on with this cheaper heater 👍🏼

The only time I've ever found hose management an issue (8mm minibore) was when I made the mistake of getting hose from "cleaning spot", it really was a pita, but latest I'm using is from daqua as recommended by others on here and it's  not an issue. Yeah I get the odd snag but nothing that concerns me. As for warm hands  , £5k plus £25 a week diesel and service costs buys alot of very good quality gloves. Anyway, surely the only time you touch the hose is when your reeling in and out  and thats only one hand.
I'm sure I'd llke working with hot water but I put it n the same bracket as buying a new van. I'm sure I'd love driving around in a brand spanking new van but if won't make me any more dosh, it's my profits I'm spending. Each to their own.

I’m at the time in life where it’s not all about the money but just making my life easier & this job more bearable. I can turn my hand to most things but for an unskilled job you aint gonna beat the money.

What I can't understand is this. Most of us work for ourselves so why wouldn't we make it as easy as possible. The moment I changed over to wfp I forced myself to spend spend spend and make it the most efficient I could. Its all there now and the money pours in if I start early and work most of the day. Using hot water makes it that bit easier, I have found. I have never thought how much diesel I go through, I just see it as the cost to do the job. I suppose it all comes down to choice.
