I turn the immersion on at night and come the cold miserable morning I jump out of bed knowing that atleast I have hot water to work with and  a supple hose to make the day easier. So I open the van door to check the temp and..........
I feel cold air not the warm air you've been used to and then I check the water temp to no avail.

Must have a blown fuse or something because I ain't got hot water, not even luke warm. So on this cold day, I'm using 10 degree, stiff hose making water.

Oh Dear, looks like its back to 35 properties with conservatories in 7 hours then. plus what happened to your 40 degree water that was left from yesterday ?

Nathan, any chance you could do a video of you fitting the fuse?  I have just installed immersion heater not wired it up yet will be next week.  Wondered if i could see how you fit your fuse and what you are using.  Cheers

P.s - hope you get it sorted soon its been cold this week.  We cant wait to be using warm/hot water in the winter.

That would be great, if I worked yesterday and so immersion wasn't on the previous night.

I hate working in cold damp weather, hoses get dirty with wet garden mud etc, the main hose snags much easier because it's so stiff and did I say I hate working in the cold damp weather 😂
Besides hot helping the clean, it also makes working in such conditions a whole lot more comfortable.

Jo5hm4n, sorry buddy its just the plug fuse I think. I'm currently using a 2kw element so I can simply plug via a normal extension socket.
Hot/warm water sure makes working in winter better, bet you can't wait 👍

Bad luck Nathan, have to ask why it blew the fuse? Would check all wires secure at immersion end.
You are right mate, i love the hot steaming water on the windows. Makes working so much better.
What temp you getting to now on2kw?

[Dry Clean]

You're right Nathan, I was using real hot (not lukewarm ) over the weekend and having a warm hose meant I could work in my T shirt and shorts,

If that's your understanding of working comfortable then each to their own Sean 😳😂
But a soft supple warm hose is so much more manageable in this horrid weather. Plus it helps if its around your waist like I do on a holster, does make a difference.

To get into the 60's I have to run the immersion for quite a while from evening till morning on the first night, ie Sunday. Then during the week it's running from between 50's - low end of 60's depending on start temp and running times.
The problem. I have is that my immersion is near my rachet straps and the hook from the St p is banging against it sometimes and I think this has had an effect. I'm going to have a look over the weekend aboutsecuring things better

[Dave Willis]

Maybe ones element has blown? 

[Slacky]

Could you put a video up of the moment you change the fuse please?

Each to their own Nathan but I prefer a pair of gloves and a warm coat to wrapping a warm hose around me.

Is this you ?

[combat1]

Mines been on for 9 hours last two nights, upper 60’s in tank in the morning.

When you leave it on overnight d'you just leave it running with a return to the tank or d'you charge the battery up at the same time?

nathan when you buy a new van(and i mean new not second hand) just get a 9kw diesel heater installed by grippatank and have done with it......you wont regret it....their ace.......and will last you many years......

[P @ F]

Daz why to you keep saying brand new van , I would never buy a brand new van , so does that mean I cant ever have one ?
If I wanted one I would buy the retro fit like yours and fit it myself , as long as its all in the cabinet its pretty easy isnt it , water in and out , fuel in , exhaust out 

[AuRavelling79]

Hi Nathan did you find out the problem?

[P @ F]

Hi Nathan did you find out the problem?

No , he didnt bother looking because he aint got a brand new van he aint allowed to have hot water

Yes , very easy , i fitted my old pure freedom one that i got secondhand , even had a bracket welded up to fit it by side door , its very simple , i bought as a non runner and fixed it too.

My new van has the ionics one built into the tank /frame and is in my opinion better as when you switch off the water with a tap/valve /univalve it automatically recirculates to the tank .

Dazmond spends most days on here trying to convince himself that he hasn't wasted a pile of money, getting others to follow and agree helps with that process.
Strangely enough Nathan does the same even though there's no need to justify with nonsense spending a few quid on an immersion to have supple hoses and frost control in the winter months.
