Does the heater have a 20min cut of on the burner only reason I ask is I was using it today to wash my car for quite a ling time the burner cut of so I turned to power switch of and back on again and it fired up perfect just seemed a little odd

[Michael Peterson]

that will be the 20 min timer for sure mate

[R.C Property]

even a little wind can blow the flames out to causing it to cut out!

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

You will not have a problem when you are cleaning houses with it IF you turn your flow off in between windows etc. You will have nice hot water all day long!!
Good choice of water heater by the way!

[richard jagger]

Were does a 20 min cut out come from its heat based.They boiler measures the heat of the water, when it reaches a certain temp it cuts out and  then needs to the flow to stop to restart again.

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

Smithies right. He has one of these apart! Just turn your flow off and on every 10 mins or so.

[Deangsi]

That's Brill cheers guys im going to order one from the china bunch I hope its as good as this one 

[R.C Property]

Just check if there is an export charge on it when it gets into the UK, mate brought one off ebay, not this model your on about, but when it came into UK he had to pay extra £30-40

[Deangsi]

I think I mite buy it from reach to clean? £160 but at least its a UK supplier and should have a genuine warranty

Yer I got my L5 from 1 of 2 companies In the only UK suppler that sells them just for that reason, costs more but you get more cover and you don't have to send it back to China or USA at your cost to get it sorted!

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

WHY?? Just get the one off ebay for nearly half the price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMO

[R.C Property]

Coz if something goes wrong with it it costs a lot to get it sorted!

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

If something goes wrong with yours bought from a uk supplier (by the way mine was bought from a uk supplier for £96) you will firstly have too send it too them, (£15 postage) they will then no doubt reply with, its due too wear and tear and try to worm out of repairing it.
IMO these units are 'throw' away units. When it breaks, they are that cheap you CAN afford too throw it away and buy another one.
I have had one fitted for a couple of months or so, its been great in the cold weather and excellent on first cleans, it payed for itself in the first week (IMO).
If someone had said too me in the 'very' bad winter we had a couple of years ago "give me £96 and I will let you work all week without freezing pipes and jets" I WOULD OF SNAPPED THERE HAND OFF!

Anyway that's my opinion, it sort of links with the topic I have just recently started.

One thing is our forgot to mention, what if it didn't work soon as you got it, or damaged in any way?

Bit like our boiler we got fitted at home, brand new and within 2days we had to get engineer out and it had the thermo couplin, heat exchanger and another part replaced as they failed.

[richard jagger]

That is happened to me.  Those chinese Fellas will try to worm out of the deal if it is not working. I cooked his goose for him.I got my cash back and still have the gas boiler.

The L5 is rubbish,

Managed to get them from this supplier for £96.99 inc postage, but I thnik he has run out of stock, emial him to find out

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/sunshinesmileservice/

Its the best heater I have ever used, simple works every time.

Just to emphasise dont buy an L5

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

My L5 is running great and works well, never had a problem with it or anything, you must of just had a bad one, or it wasnt fitted up right or something.

[Alex Wingrove]

Try bad three!

You cant really set them up wrong, inlet outlet gas. That is all that is required. I have spent hours fiddling with the damn things to get them to function every time. But without success

The advantage of the new one is its sensitivity. It fires up very quickly, but more importantly, doesn't allow for a high build up of pressure so shuts off quickly too.

Also it heats my water to 48deg, which is perfect.

Also the L5 doesnt had a flue, so to speak. So you can get condensation in the van, or f you vent it outside, you are suceptable to wind

took me an hour to fit mine up, ajusted the low pressure scre that they have in them,
fires up at as low as 25psi runs all day without a problem, only time it plays up a little is when you use cheap batterys and when they start to  get low. other than that is worked no problem.
has very low temp from cold all the way upto 70deg.

like i say when you fit them up right, mine has a flue so van never gets any condensation in the van, even when doors are pushed to a bit it all goes out the back!
