Ditto, what a difference it makes! Do you leave the engine running when you have the hot water running through??

NO ENGINE ON UM OFF TURNED OFF KEYS NOT IN  AND LOCKED ok! :o :o

 £28000 in total for five years its all good because im ok but if i knew then what i know now i would have built my own and maybe i will next year i have made quite a few modifications to my machine and now it so much more efficient like adding 25 ltr vessel of resin instead of the colour change one and so on

£84 times 260 weeks = a bit less than you said

roughly  £21000

I do believe that this is the way the industry will move in time but like most things in life everyone develops at their own speed.
How long ago was it that people were looking at postings on this forum about WFP with disbelief. Jason Ruggles was literally the only domestic window cleaner I had ever heard of who was cleaning domestic properties with a WFP and its only a couple of years ago.
If cold water WFP is first generation then thermo systems are  Gen 2.
I'm offf to the garage to look for my old camping stove.

V8edd,

Sorry if I sound sceptical, but you've got yourself a Thermopure and you're saying your turnover has doubled and your workload has quadrupled.

I find that difficult to believe that has happened from just getting the kit you've got, even if it is top-notch.

You must've done something more.  What was it?

1)  You're promoting Ionics
2) Imagine how much more benefit £28000 would have been if it had been invested in advertising your business and purchasing a second hand van and a less expensive wfp system.
3) 5 years comittment to Ionics, so what happens if you lose a lot of work/take ill or something?

Not saying you made the wrong choice, the thermo is a good system, you've got a good van etc.
