Sounds as though yor heat exchanger has a hole in it somewhere or that the psi is low and your not passing the water through quick enough, Dave Ingram is the man you want.

Have you de-scaled it? or run acid rinse through it on all jobs? A limescale covered TM will reduce its running efficiency and affect psi aswell as heat.

To descale your TM you need to first empty your header tank, put your descaler in and then put some fresh kettle water in to the top then put a length of solution hose to your machine and get an open end or your upholstery tool and spray the jet back into the header tank therefore recirculating the descaler and after 15 mins or so you then spray the contents into the dump tank.

Saying that if you are getting very low heat I still think it's more serious.

Ady,
i doubt that the problem is scale, it sounds like you have a burst HX somewhere.  not knowing the Prmount range makes it difficult to helpwithout seeing the unit.  Does there appear to be any water leaking into the van or is there water coming out of the exhaust?  Also, does the waste tank appear to be filling up quicker than normal?  Does your water pressure at the wand appear to be the way it was before the TM froze?

Richie.

richie there is no water coming into the van,but I did notice more water than usual coming out the exhaust,when i switched her off,but not a great deal , but would a burst h.e. affect the heat coming through? also I dont seem to have lost any pressure
