Not that I am after one but was just wondering how well it works.. 
 
take a look at this

Notice that one person uses steam to clean the windows ?
 
Also when a kettle boils the steam that comes out is quite pure TDS reading is 0.14
 
What do you lot think

i thought about this before but then you have the same problems as with a hot wfp system, how to get the steam! how to heat the water safety  etc etc etc    but its a good idea, and steam would last allot longer and use less water, because its a very fine mist of evaporating water it doesnt use much, just like your iron or steam wallpaper remover. But how do you use it in your system.....

A dry steam generator ( machine ) would give you a portable option but then you would need to have a generator to power it and how much pressure you would get after it had gone through 50 metres of hose would need to be tested.

There is also the heat hitting cold windows in the winter - would it be too cold and would they crack.

I hve the kit to test this idea but I don't have a window unit.

I will get an old second hand one in and give it a go

It will cool to moisture long before it gets anywhere near the glass.
It should work fine if you only want to clean ground floor glass.

We've had this chat before. I understand that it would become moisture but if you had a steam machine working at 150 degrees Celsius it surely wouldn't cool much below 100 degrees C, which would still be ample heat and would be pure.

The only thing I am not sure about is whether there would be enough pressure to blow/rinse the window with either wet or dry steam - whichever came out and whether it would leave any bits on the glass.
