hi all,

how do these work? with the burner what do you use to heat it up? is there to much to look after then a cold

[BDCS]

most use diesel or parafin, there is more to them but they tend to be pretty good if you don't drown them and put clean fuel in them

do youuse a turbo nozzle on a hot washer to remove gum? or does the heat get it off with a normal head?

[trevor perry]

you dont need a turbo nozzle with a hot wash to remove gum the normal lance works fine, i find it best to reduce the flow to about 8ltr a minute and put the heat up to full it blasts the gum away at an amazing rate and you dont use as much water either, there is also less spray caused doing it this way so less worry about splashing anyone passing by. (doesnt matter if area coned of or not you always get some dummy walking where they shoudnt)

hi thanks. so how long does the fuel last for ? is that all you have to check on when you use a hot washer?

tubro nozzles i was told they would melt what is in side the nozzle. mark

Hi Mark,

You can use a rotary (turbo) nozzle on a hot water
machine they have some nozzles rated for 212 degrees F

There is a ceramic insert on most models and these are
usually rated for 130 degrees F - 212 degrees F depending
on which manufacturer and model you buy.

hi, are electric powered hot washers no good??   i seen one for £600,  what is the differance?   i only need a hot one to remove gum as the cold is ok for pressure washing.  or would a hot box be best.
