Hot water users out there can you tell me how hot cleans quicker on regular cleans and how much it costs per week to run.

[Wayne Thomas]

Hot water cleans quicker on soiled, salted windows. Shrivels  the spiders and their webs up immediately so less trying to scrub/flick their handywork with the brush. Hot water lifts the dirt much easier on new, stubborn dirt.

Give you an example: With an empty mug with coffee, tea stains at the bottom, pour a tiny amount of water in and swirl it around and see how easy the stain shifts. Then try it again with another stained mug using hot water instead of cold and you'll see for yourself why hot wfp users like hot water.

Also, with hot wfp the hose remains supple, doesn't kink easily, is a pleasure on the hands on cold mornings and easy to reel back in.

The hot water sheets down large panes of glass quicker and dries much quicker so on windy days when there is a lot of dust blowing around there is less chance of water left on windows collecting dust, salt, road grime from car exhausts,etc. Customers have less reason to moan about windows being cleaned and left wet.

Costs me £5-6 a day if Omnipole hot water retro heater used all day.

Easier to remove bird pooh, tree sap and snails trails as well

Your telling me you get the same amount of heat out of a hot water system as a hot tap? B&%^%&ks!!
you be lucky to get half as much,,,  luke warm at best. saleman pitch if ever i heard one and simply untrue.

I was told by a supplier that if you set it at 60 on the dial you`ll get 52 degrees at the brush.

where does the hot water come from to get to a tap  :
Getting hot water depends on the heater if it is a good heater then it will produce hot water on demand

is 52 degress hot?? not in my book, and any cleaning properties against cold are null and void. what temp does it take to crack cold glass???

[NWH]

Not as much heat is lost with some systems due to the way it works i`ve looked into this part of it,the heater i`m looking at sends hot water straight to the reel with hardly any heat loss.As windowwashers says it`s all down to the quality of the heater.

Why are you being so angry in your replys,you are a newbie you know lol.

[Ambient Services]

LoL! your right! deep breaths......!!!!  ;DHad a demo of one and it was total balony! A clean window is a clean window fail to see any real advantage in the expense of hot- apart from the companies selling them!!!

Hahaha Had to laugh at that bit ,,I'm of to eygpt the end of the month and if it's 52 degress i'm going to have to take a coat to keep warm.lol

My gas heater costs about £1 per day to run.
The heater will heat up to 80 degrees,.. but I'd never go above 60, and normally stick between 40-50 degree's,... cooler again in the winter.

Does hot water (or even lukewarm water) have an advantage over cold? Enough that I use hot for EVERY job,.. even weekly cleans. I'll never go back to cold.

It doesn't matter what I say though, try it for yourself.
Maybe you're happy using cold,.. but then a couple of years ago you might have been happy using ladders?!

DON'T go in to the realms of telling people how they can diy a hot water system Nat or you might end up with people having a go at you, calling you names and going off in a strop and heated (no pun intended) argumentative replies.......

I also use insulated 8mm hose, not your normal stuff, so futher heat is not lossed whilst the hose lays unreeled on the ground. Since I've started using the insulated hose I've noticed the water drying much quicker. Whilst I'm rinsing the windows, I can watch the top half steaming dry as I'm finishing the bottom half of the pane.

It's about working smarter, if you use a water heater, why stop there, use insulated hose and benefit even further using hot water.

As for tips and tricks for cooling the water down during cold mornings I'll keep that to myself otherwise I'll just read plenty of negative comments from the disbelievers who are happy to stay cold wfp or too tight to invest for their future.
