Guess who did not put a heater in the van overnight.? yeh , me!

put one in early this morning, but the 100m microbore is solid.

Anyone else trying to work today?

[gewindows]

Run a hot bath and put the microbore in it.

[geefree]

its bolted in the van... last year i threw a kettle of hot water over it and split the centre of the reel.

I leave an electic oil filled radiater in the trailer overnight running on 5 degrees. Nothing freezes now

Ive had a small 1KW heater running in my van on the lowest setting, its toasty in there at the mo. Just checked the water temp too, as have had a 300W aquarium heater in the tank and thats at 24C     Just like my fish tank 


I'll give it a go in an hour or so but when I do the aquarium heater will go in my IBC out the back.

How do you fix/use the aquarium heater in the tank, can you just immerse it fully(under the water) or do you have to suspend it in the water, also what about when travelling surely you have to remove it as it will get smashed up due to the sloshing around of the water.
Thanks in acvance for the info.

I just make sure mine doesnt touch the sides of the tank just to be sure it doesnt burn it, sure it wouldnt but you never know, also make sure its at the bottom of the tank as heat rises.

Yes I will take it out when Im travelling, I'll put mine in the IBC duriing the day when Im out.

Its freezing water keeps freezing up onthe glass. The suns out now here in kings lynn might try again in an hour the rest of the week looks like its gonna get worst.

Van froze solid, so I'm using today to try and get everything thawed for in morning. Everything except tank will be taken into my house today. Tank will be covered by some blankets with a fan heater.
Fingers crossed.
Just glad Cricket is on today though otherwise I'd be watching a repeat of the power getting his 15th world title (yawn yawn)

Worked all day today in Dartmouth with wfp.

The other wfp cleaner's system was frozen up and he wanted a look in my van to see my set up as I was able to work and he wasn't.

I had my pump turned up really high, hose fully unwound, cleaning high buildings and there was no way I was going to give him the guided tour of my van today in the freezing cold, because my hose laying on the groung and pole jets would freeze up if the pump stopped for too long
