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.

This is why you’re not cut out to be a window-cleaner. Unagreeable parking doesn’t ruin your day. It’s simply a minor inconvenience, at worse.

How do you describe a day if a customer has forgotten to unlock the side gate, warfare?

Window cleaning is one of the least stressful jobs you can do....locked gates,occasional parking issues is all in a days work and very minor in the working day....

It's about adapting and accepting that things are just not gonna run ultra smooth every day.

It's the same in the gym🏋️‍♂️ ...I might have a certain workout planned in my head before I get there but someone might be on the piece of equipment/machine I want to use so I'll just adapt and use something else and often have a different,more interesting  workout.

Well this is where we differ, if something annoys me i`ll try to remove the annoyance rather than just put up with it.

I went to the gym earlier this year but got sick to death of waiting for machines and having to do other exercies that i didnt really want to do because of it. Hence why i packed it in and went back to my home gym, problem solved.

Me and this other guy were talking the other day how we were the hardest guys in the gym(he's 67 now)and I'm 53...


Sounds like the opening scene of an X-rated movie Daz  ;D

🎶He was 67 and I was 53
I knew nothing about love
He knew everything ...

Thank you Ian, that is very helpful. I’m in Tenerife for a short break and will do as you suggested on my return.

The same as any diesel heater used for window cleaning.....

I pre heat my water so it's hot for my first job of the day 🔥

I start the van first thing then fire up my heater(the return valves are plugged in back to tank)so my hose reel is nice and warm by the time I drive to my first job(usually around 15 mins away).

The only difference with the thermopure is ionics fit a valve that automatically bleeds hot water back to your tank when you shut your water off at brush end.I have to do this manually between jobs by plugging in the return valves to stop my heater going through its shut down cycle.

Which greenhouse heater do you use Simon?

Parasene electric greenhouse heater with frost stat. I think they are discontinued now, but I bought it from B&Q about 10 years ago.

All thermopures do this if you aren’t using the hose reel there is a pressure relief valve that opens putting the water back into the tank

It's simply recycling hot water back through the tank

At a guess just connect your hose reel outlet back to the tank and run your pump. That way the water from tank flows through the heater back to tank. Over time it will heat the whole tank. I would say you can do that on any heated system, maybe they have an automated return to tank system.
