I reckon Oliver’s popped a 5kw Heater in you’re cabinet m8 lol,I have been just as wary as if it was minus temperatures with the water from my heater.
I thought the needle in my valve was broken earlier when I turned it down coz it was still piping hot,I turned both exchangers down to minimum made very little difference if any.

Sounds like you have a faulty unit then. You are cracking glass in summer because the water is so hot yet the regulator has no affect on the temp! Sounds more like Oliver has fitted you a ringer mate!! ;D

Mine is boiling hot too. Almost to the point where the pole hose is too hot to handle.

It just needs regulating on the dial on the side of the unit.

Lol yeah I know the feeling it’s because of the recirculating back to tank when I’ve had it very hot,what I’ll do from now on is start it off on minimum recirculating it back it would have cooled down in the end but the exchangers would have been piping hot having it on full heat.
It’s not a problem on modern glass so much although you still have to be careful it’s the older glass you have to watch it on,if you clean roofs for free like me it breezes through em 😂

It should make a difference mine has two heat exchangers and it’s running 8 hours a day Ime just thinking about turning it down as I have had steam coming off the windows all day today , when it’s hot I turn the taps to minimum and it reduces the heat significantly, are you sure you have the needle valves in your s ?? It should alter it quite a bit . The hose the last few days have been so hot it’s been difficult to hold them whilst winding the hose in . Dazmond is right about ambient water temperature affecting the the heat output in the winter the water out of the tap may only be 5 or so degrees in the summer it can be 15 degrees before it goes int the boiler so the water will heat up much faster .

Winding in with no cloth wouldn’t be possible last week or so like you say due to the heat from the water,I’ve run it on minimum before and it’s been fine so it works on the lower setting.
Never thought I’d have to worry about cracking glass when it’s been 25 degrees outside.

thats normal for me on full heat setting on the warmer days(20c+)even with most of my hose off the reel.....

the starting temperature in my tank was 15c this morning just as i fired up the heater so it soon got up to operating temperature...it was piping hot by the time i got to my first job 15 mins away.....

what setting do you have your liquid logic controllers on lads?i find 40-45 is about right,still plenty of flow but not gushing out and wasting water...

60 for me. I like a higher flow rate.

I’ve got a 700 litre tank and that lasts me a good full day.

I think mines a 5-2 shurflo I run mine always on at least 85-90,if the batteries are fully charged 85 is enough.
I always use that flow even on regular cleans.

That’s not how pumps and controllers work mate.  40-45 is running on less than half capacity/volume.

If it’s the standard shurflo pump that your using then your using considerably less flow than most on here. Try increasing your flow and you might get finished work even faster.  ;D

absolutely not jonny,its gushing out at times on that flow.....its a water genie pump(im not sure what make it is actually).the jets of water are pumping at least 6 foot out of the brush,thats plenty....

i couldnt work faster than i currently do.....

That’s what I thought 6 foot at that flow,try 12ft and see how much better that is and how much quicker you can clean on that flow.
The kind of setting you have I hate hardly any water in my eyes on your setting.

Don't know what jets you guys use, but if you want a very high flow you should at least be using 3mm pencil jets instead of the 2mm most seem to use. Using 2mm you must get a lot of splash back and spray.
