BEN M,

surely you are not as dim as a brothel lamp

[ben M]

this was a thread that was going pretty well until your neck was unwound.

I am not commenting anymore, because you think it is ok to make sly digs regarding saying "Fair enough" to North West

Out of everyone on here, you seem to be the only person that goes crying and reporting people

i feel save where i live, if you don't feel save where you live, go somewhere else! end of story!

[Archer]

do you fancy meeting up for a drink

you are right Shane, stop it now Archer!   
so hot water? is it worth the extra cost?

Reason to lock van.
While working 2 brats I mean kids decided to climb into the back of my van and play with one of my
poles hitting a passing car and almost causing an accident.
Lucky no one was injured or damaged caused.
As I had left the van unlocked I don't think my insurance would have paid out so it could have been
costly.
Its not just theft you have to watch out for lock your vans.

Not a load of crap at all. If you are cleaning old style glass that's oiled floated, a lot of them are held in place with panel nails and covered with putty. When its near freezing in winter hot water users will run hot water over the glass. The heat disperses from the centre of the glass to the outer edges where the metal panel pins are and because of the sudden change in temperature the glass cracks occasionally due to thermal shock.

Even double glazed units are prone to thermal shock, I've had two units blow shortly after I cleaned them.Never use hot water anymore, at best mild water if need be. Apart from initial cleans and Plastics wet weather jobs, conservatory roof's, there isn't much requirement to use hot water.

How many suppliers want to sell you a hot unit, yet how many can be bothered to service it or repair it when it goes wrong?

[Archer]

Windowswashed,

it all comes down to common sense when using hot water systems.

It has more advantages than cold water, and if you have a hot system you can use it using normal cold water on most of your jobs if you desire, which we do.

It is a must for me, and definatly something I wouldn't be without.

[Dave Willis]

I like hot but if you clean single pane glass you can hear it expanding even at fairly low temps. I had a double glazed unit go this year - it was minus three and the water was around twenty degrees. Cost me £103 to replace a fairly small pane. Insurance company was a waste of time (£500 excess). If a large shop window went then I dread to think what the cost would be. I switch mine off most of the year.

[Archer]

Never had a problem at all in the years I have used hot,

hope I am not tempting fate

[Michael Peterson]

the rule of thumb is 20 degrees above ambient temps and only double pane glass and with the van locking im completely with archer on that one, ben is happy becasue so far he has never had his van stolen, however if he did have because it was unlocked i would imagine it would inconvenience him somewhat and he would have himself to blame, good areas have crooks as well :-)

[firefly123]

fit an immersion heater in your tank then on cold days leave it on timer at night it will keep your water hot all day cost 70 pence a night far cheaper than LPG etc cost to have this done by a good plumber £140 ish and will stop your poles and battery and pump from freezing

[jarvy]

Love my lpg heater, wouldn't be without it in the winter now. Don't use in the summer but winter it is great. Well worth the small amount  of gas they use.
