I can't say yet but the heat n runs don't last me long. Cleansmart assure me the magnas  are reliable and they build and service them. It was the best option I could find but theres people on here that rate the prochem units

I like the idea of the heating element, I have a steempro 2000 would be quite easy to fit and maintain ?

What psi were you using? I spoke to Matt and he said it should be steaming all day if you use 200psi and under.

Quicker for a start also 200 degrees F, so just under boiling pint at the heat exchanger which will cool through the rest of the pipes.

Shaun the heat is 110c = 230 f

I was using at about 400 psi wanding with a extra dry pass, very good heat at wand. the dry pass helps the water to heat up in the exchanger.
I think  :)
