wfp itself is a massive difference from trad...going hot  is only a incremental
difference from a cold system

if you can invent something that i can carry in vehicle to get rid
of  snow and ice instantly from side rds then i will be impressed :)

I am thinking of getting a L5 heater (where's the best/cheapest place guys?)

I will set mine up in garage to fill up warm barrels, got a ford escort not got loads of room :(

How do you guys using L5/gas heaters protect against thermal shock.
Was it 30c + outside temp (or is the posh way of saying 30c above ambient temp?)

Do you guys have some sort of thermometer to keep an eye on water temp?
Never a good time to crack a window but when it's barely above freezing point i can imagine custies getting excited :o

Best place in one of the UK selling shops got comeback if any problems

Cheapest place ebay. But could cost more if anything goes wrong.

Setting up in garage is fine.

Yer that's what they say, 30 above outside temp so if outside temp is 0 then hottest is 30.

No thermostat in place you can get a rough temp by feel.

Thanks Mike.
Trouble is my ro-setup ia at my parents garage.

I suppose i could set up and put heater on timer plug.
How much is 1KW an hour Mike 10p.

How long do you have your heater on for.

Just add: I fill up barrels from 625 ltr tank at my parents has submersible pump.
I have 16 barrels; last 2 days usually; I dont have garden but do have garage en-bloc about 50 yards away.
Reason for barrels is parents don't have off street parking.
Sorry to waffle on Mike.
I will look into that.

My dad helps with my system, but he and my mum are in there 60's and can be a bit funny at times.
Did have a bust up with em few yrs ago just before setting up my system ;D

So I do like to keep things simple at that end; "THEY FEAR CHANGE  :o"
