[DaveG]

Not being funny mate but wouldnt cold water do it?

[Neil Williams]

do you thing it would stay hot for a few hours,

No. Think - how long does a bath of hot water stay hot for? And there's your answer

[jouk45]

yes i mainly use cold, but this is a full shop valet, signs canopys shutters and painted walls then glass, so was just thinking as i dont have a hot system, i would fill containers specialy for this job,

It'll stay warm 3 or 4 hours,... I used to bring hot water with me when i was trad in 25 litre drums, just throw an old duvet over them to keep the heat in. Seems like a lot of hassle tho for wfp.

a bath is open so will lose heat faster, this water is contained

thanks nathan, the water is only for this job front, if it stays hotish for at least 2 hours that will do me

I used to fill my 25 litre containers up in shower(not piping hot ) and thatd be hot for ages so long as it wasnt winter

so if you stuck boiling water in i reckon itd be hot all morning

  you got a pure water shower?

[seandyer2003]

Trad mate

tds is 32 though so not far off

MIght get an ro/di on it though and save money on soap and shampoo

[jouk45]

i run mine through the di vessel

[perfectpanesplymouth]

i fill my tank straight from the hot tap anyway as tds is low and only use a DI, i turn the boiler off in the summer when i am filling but leave it on when its freezing and have lovely water for a couple of hours 

[jouk45]

got the job done, the hot water stays hot for 1 hour, then  1half hrs it is  warmish,  2hrs was luke warm, but i have to say it was a warm day and this would have helped to keep them warm, and i have to say the hot water does move the dirt much more easily than cold, i think from now on with first cleans i will use the warm water

yep feed through the DI and into the containers, simply take the head off the shower and plug into the slot....simples.

unless you are in a hard lines i mean water area
