You need to heat water on demand or by the time it gets heated by an element and through a hose and up a pole it will be cold,you have to have a constant flow of hot water to see the difference in cleaning.Hot water comes into it`s own this time of year,i have been 1 of the only polers working regularly these last few weeks so it`s paid for itself 10 fold in my book.If you had cold to work with for a week and had a hot system for week 2 you would only ever choose cold on price not results and the pleasure it is to work with.

As already mentioned on here before, those systems can work out to be expensive and probably beyond the reach of most people. ;)

So are the above suggestions because they don`t work,if you want to go hot the safe way you have to pay for it.I had an L5 heater it`s all been said before and for a long term solution they don`t work IMO.

I appreciate what you are saying and you are probably right, but the fact remains that hot water systems are expensive and beyond the reach of most guys on here.

Until then, people will always try to find a cheaper option in the hope that it does the trick.

i have the purefreedom two man system and put in a bypass system so that when using one operator i reroute the hot water from the second pump back into the tank and it heats the water in the tank so that i can turn off the heater after a few hours. Overall i am very happy with the system and am glad that i bit the bullet and made the initial investment,
