Hot water burner?

[Tmrrptr 164]

I have a 5.5 machine, now, and my trusty HD backup and am learning, little by little...

At this time, the amount of business I'm generating will not justify a bigger unit with hot water... $4k

What add on hot water burner would you recommend for flatwork (grease & gum) ?

Diesel, or propane ?

What, is the difference between a Wayne, and a Beckett burner ?

I would go with 12v, as I figure a generator providing AC is yet another step for nite lighting and sump pumping/vacuuming.

Actually, will be going for Delavan next, to etch driveways and stain.

Simer smart geyser next after that for reclaim use.

thanks,

The only way you could run a 12 volt burner is with a constantly charged battery. So, you need either an engine with a 20 amp charging system, or you hook it to your truck battery and leave the truck running while you're using hot water.

Propane is self contained, no outside power source is needed. You'll have to make sure you have reserve fuel, as it not as readily available as diesel.

120 volt requires you to buy a generator (2500 watt or larger), or get a huge extension cord to plug in at your customer's location (provided electricity is even available).

Wayne - Beckett...flip a coin. They both produce heat...that's about it.
