Grease in the washing up bowl is removed softened by the chemical not the fact that its warm.

I agree with that. If you put two identically dirty cups/mugs in two seperate bowls of water, one hot and one cold bowl and leave for 5 mins and take them out, the one that has been in the hot water is cleaner in comparison. Why..........don't ask me.

At the moment I am using my twin coil 75 litre calorifier with a 2kw immersion heater built in. Next Thursday I am having Omnipole's hot water system installed up London at a cost of £2500 +VAT but doing it on a lease (for tax purposes), with an additional payment to own the equipment.

I spoke to them last week about the one your having,he told me that i would have to go up there and let him look at the van so he could put the unit in the van and see where it would be suited to go,he said it would take a day to fit it.I asked him if they were reliable and he said every now and again you might have to reset the thermostat.

Luke warm does a great job. The hose behaves likes it's summer, the whole experience is pleasanter, easier on your part and requires less effort.

How edd (vedd) cracks glass I don't know. My heat loss through the hose is massive. That's the problem I'm currently working on.
Mr solubility, try this test, get a glass and put it in the freezer, boil kettle and pour some water in bowl, take glass out of freezer when very cold and place in very hot water, lot of the time this glass will break. and at this time of year glass is very cold

If property has central heating, then the glass is not usually all that cold. The hot stops the water from freezing in the hose. This is a big plus.

if it has single glazing yes, thats true

if the house has double glazing, the outside pane wil be cold

peterf NO its the heat exchanger the header tank is the big black one with 2
 brass drain plugs in in the top left of machine
hot water cycles through the heat exchanger and into the header tank and the cold water goes through the heat exchanger and comes out bloody hot then into the thermostate to regulate the temp to what I what

Thanks, yes I see that now.

That is partially true. Although double glazing is nov 100 percent efficient.

On a regular basis in the winter I use very hot water from the kettle to defrost the ice on the van windscreen, and have never cracked one yet.  I also used to use hot water in winter when I used to clean traditional, and again never a cracked window.

I know the glass on a vehicle is different but it is cold glass.  And I am sure the glass on new double glazed window is pretty thick.

I might try that out with a double glazed unit when the weather gets a bit colder.

I start in the middle when defrosting the van and slowly move outwards also defrosting the inside and I too have never cracked a windscreen either the old screens or the new ones. Maybe do the same with a hotwash ? Good thoughts Peter, needs some more input.

Just a note. The lady from concept 2o insisted that 60 degrees will not crack double glazing. She said turn it to 40 for conservatorys and off for single glazing.

I am as well, and should have a good reasonably priced hot water system on the market in the next couple of weeks. 

I think you will see quite a few hot water system come on the market in the next year.
