When I purchased my first Grippa Tank system about 8 years ago I had Grippa bring a demo van out to one of the sites I clean.

My work is all commercial most monthly maintenance cleans.

I was in two minds to go hot or cold.The job they came out to was a regular monthly job.I demoed and cleaned some with cold and then another part with hot.

As nice as the hot system was it made no difference what so ever to speed or ease of cleaning or end result. The frost stat setting was a nice feature but for anything else for me it was just a very expensive pair of gloves.

I have  used a cold system for a week and let me tell you on anything half dirty cold is rubbish,around half the jobs I’ve done once checked I had to go round again and give them another going over.
I have never seen so much spotting on the top 3-4” of a window in years since using cold for just over a week,I won’t be going cold anytime soon unless it’s the time of year when the sun goes down at around 2-30 in the afternoon.

In that case you obviously have no idea how to clean windows.

Sorry Slacky it’s reaffirmed to me m8 cold water does the job on already fairly clean windows,rubbish on anything dirty.

And yet another post that says so much more about your own inadequacies than  it does about cold/hot water.

If you do a good enough job with cold you have to really make sure you put way more effort into scrubbing and rinsing the window,hot water eliminates this makes it far easier to do the job I’ve had no confidence in cold after seeing the results after drying runs and spots galore.

Untrue.

However, you and Daz both twitter on about regular cleans simply being a splash and dash experience.

In which case, the only conclusion left to be drawn is that hot is unnecessary.

I’m glad I’ve used cold for a week it’s made me realise how much better hot water cleans,I’ve been getting more spots than a teenager all week.

That's just down to being a very poor window cleaner, nothing to do with the
 water. If the water is 000 TDS then it's Purely down to a poor or inexperienced operator- even more so on regular work!
Maybe you could tag along with another local cleaner who can bring you up to speed with knowledge and techniques?  Show you how to do it properly. 👍

Honestly m8 get up and look at some of the work you’ve done with cold water 1-2 floors up forget the ground we all scrub a bit more on the ground,I couldn’t believe how bad they’ve been especially on the hydrophobic stuff.

I do just that on a regular basis. Hotels, office blocks etc inside and out and they're spotless.👍 no issues here pal.
