Time to get into hot water

Although the use of hot water with water fed poles, is gaining momentum,the mobile heating equipment available has sometimes proved to be more of a challenge, says Aquafactors.

The company has now introduced its own water heating system,in conjunction with Krueger.The powerful 12Kw 'Hot Wash' has a continuous flow rate of over 13l/min to temperatures of 65°C.

This gives enough output for two poles running at the same time.Additional benefits include a 'Froststat'and timed switch-on.

There is also an integral diagnostic program.The complete package can be supplied (and fitted) as part of an Aquafactors water fed pole system or retro fitted to competitors vehicles.

It's claimed that fuel costs are 40% lower than some heat exchanger systems.The equipment meets a full testing protocol including a pressure test at over 7 bar.Servicing is minimal - every two years or so.
