I have frost stat but I like to keep my membranes warm so I stick small oil filled rad in van overnight and during the day if continually minus. Might cost a fiver a day but I believe its well worth it. Was going to go out today but only 2 degrees and I think I may skip some cleans this month, customers will understand why.

Tried to explain why there's no point putting out the food bins to my mum. Everything in the bin is frozen to the bottom and binmen may go through the motions but nothing comes out. Hotter from Sunday so will take a break.

You live in Scotland and don’t go out when it’s colder than 2°? Do you even work between November and March?

Have to go out tomorrow with scaffold and clean some windows. Life's too short and everything is frozen so what's the point struggling to turn a coin. Better to relax save energy and get ready for another day.

Can anyone on here tell me how you 'pre heat' the water on a V4 Thermopure as opposed to heating on demand.
On their website they say this system is capable of it but can't see how!

Why would you want to do this, if I may ask?

The problem with the Ionics system is that it only heats water for one operator. The other operator using a 2 man system gets cold water.

Imho it will take a long time to heat the water in the tank so 2 operators can have hot water.  The other issue is that warm water going back to the tank  is at the upper level, where your pumps draw water from the bottom of the tank where it's cold, especially when the van isn't moving much.

Any warm water left in the tank at the end of the working  day is wasted.

This is why I believe having a second water to water plate heat exchanger with mixer valves is a much better solution, as both operators can have warm water on demand.
