That makes sense. 👍 thanks.

Still a bit of trial and error to see what works best for me.

Loving the heat though. Makes me realise that I’ve never really had a hot system. Only like warm at best.

on a very cold day you might not want to have your second pump recirculating back to your tank jonny or you could be cracking a few panes by lunchtime! :o ;D

Definitely. I need to actually test the temperature at the brush head though.

How hot is too hot? Lol.

I could hold my hand under it for a few seconds then it was getting too hot.  ;D

The thing is though as soon as it touches the glass it rapidly cools down. Hold your hand on the pane of glass as the water runs down it, and it’s just nice and warm.

yep it did.......it was a little kitchen window (top opener) with a little crack in the corner...as soon as the water hit it,it popped!! ;D ;D

this was back in jan on a fairly cold day(ambient air temperature of 4 or 5c) water was around 40c.........

if i only had say 30m off the reel  then i couldnt comfortably hold my hand under the jets for longer than 10 seconds today(ambient air temperature 15c).obviously as the temperature drops and more hose is off the reel then its cooler.....just as well really! ;D

all this love in about hot water and being so hot you can't put your hand in the tank -

It does. Mine is on minimum.  ;D

They just have a dial, minimum to maximum.

They don’t have an output setting where you choose the temp.  They do have built in thermometers for inside the tank though, so you can keep an eye on the temp.

They have a thermostat probe in the tank for the purpose of frost protection.u can also get the temperature reading by pressing the controller a few times....
