we have 2 of them ones like on ebay

[matt]

dont get disheartened by the people who will knock the idea because it hasnt got a heafty price tag, im sure you know it will happen

getting a sense of deja vu, matt?

indeed i am

ive looked at a hot water setup and i even spoke to a guy in the USA about them, along the same lines as nat is, it'll work well imho

[Count Phil]

As per hot water hose. Varitech now do microbore and minibore rated to 60c. Its called microbore plus or something. They just sent me a leaflet on it. So none of this half inch nonsense.

[matt]

i used to sell Carbon mon alarms on ebay, i used to work for the MOD and had a few spare, nice little earner at the time

I use a heater much like this one and it does the job.

[Captain Scarlet]

Is it the case that the higher the flow rate, the colder the water with this heater? Luke

any idea of the price??? They really should get a website!!!

Yep Luke,.. the more water, the colder it gets,.. that's why I'd go for this hugely overpowered unit and dial it down!

[Captain Scarlet]

So at full output what temp will it heat to? Luke

[U.S. wfp USER]

But not many poeple supply it in a microbore style in such long lengths, I was talking to Concept and they had alot of trouble finding a supplier, they get it from Italy, Luke

Yes just as if you turn down the water flow and up the gas the water gets extremely hot.

[Nathanael Jones]

So at full output what temp will it heat to? Luke

at 1 litre a minute, at full power, you could make your coffee with it!

[U.S. wfp USER]

So at full output what temp will it heat to? Luke

That depends on the inlet temp.

[Captain Scarlet]

Just went out and measured the temp in my tank with my tds meter ( bearing in mind it is very cold here today!! ), it was 12oC. So my inlet temp would be around 12oC, Luke

[Neil271052]

I'd have ordered one already,.. but I'm having trouble finding out what the Irish rules and regs are for carrying a gas cylinder in a vehicle! I've e-mailed 2 gas suppliers/distributors and 2 government departments,... not one of them has go back to me yet.
Lots of google searching only turned up the UK regs!!

It's an interesting concept.

I wonder what the regs say?

Naked flames with a gas supply is one thing but also in a van full of petrol/diesel?

I'll be interested to hear how it all works out for you. 

[john tomkins]

I was told it was not legal for me to have a USA supplied shurflo backpack coz it didn't have the CE mark  :
What they'll make of a Gas water heater from China I've no idea

[Tim Rose]

Sod the 'regulations', just don't do anything obviously stoopid and yule be ok.

(notice the xmas reference?)

[brightnclean]

I think these will work well.

In fact a supplier I know has a system fitted with one on trial now. The problem is that they aren't CE marked so no Corgi registered plumber should fit one.. note I said should.

[Tim Rose]

Exactly.
