It was freezing today in the shadows around the back of houses out of the sun. Lad said to me that he wouldn't have minded hot water today. I couldn't argue with that comment as I was thinking the same myself. ;)

I did a full day without issue with cold. I just put a pair of gloves on but by 11am they weren’t needed.

NWH you’re  embarrassingly deluded if you think you’re achieving any better results than someone working with cold water.

Yes it may be more comfortable on the hands, it may even keep you working the one day every 3 years that temps reach -4° in the daytime, but to say you are getting better results is just making yourself look a bit silly.

You have never used hot water on a constant basis if you can’t agree hot cleans better than cold,people can go on about how deluded they think I am but if you had cleaned what I’ve cleaned this last few weeks with cold water you’d have ruined 2 brushes scrubbing.
Cold water does not remove spider droppings and green window sills  quicker or to the same standard,it’s like saying I drive a Ford ST and you drive an M2 competition I could say my car  was better but I would then be the deluded one eh.

I had a full ionics hot box system for 2 full weeks, only last month.

You are wrong, and deluded.

Hot box is that the 5kw version if it is it’s not the same or anywhere near the same as a 9kw heater,I’ve had a 5kw or the equivalent of and it doesn’t produce water close to the same heat constantly at the brush.
It may produce hot water if you circulate it back to tank but it soon cools down.

I’ve got an oil fired Rayburn with a back boiler on, knocking around in the shed. Maybe I could install it in the van. Dry my laundry at the same time too. And make a fry up,

Cant believe yet again, i agree with one of seans post!

Niel, Im a fan of hot water and Ive taken some stick on here with my results, which others for various reasons cant duplicate.  However I also agree that the same results can be had with cold water!  My opinion is that Hot is a fraction quicker and certainly  nicer to use.  However to try n pi$$ of ones for using cold water isnt the way to go mate.  If you need hot water so as not to leave spots or your employees, I would strongly recommend correcting your technique and not turn up the temp

It was the 9kw 2 man setup that I had. Running it as a single user.
