hpwasher 14 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 I currently have a 4GPM 4000PSI belt driven machine. I want to be able to clean some heave duty grease on resaurant hoods. Well I figured it's time to add the hot water. For right now my budget can afford a new burner. "A" Will this get me in the right direction to have the proper equiptment for what I want to do or would it be a good idea to get a brand new machine with a 5-6gpm pump (burner and all)? "B" if i can work well with just adding the burner where is the best place to look? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Kassander 26 Report post Posted April 2, 2009 It will work to get you going where you want, you will need to get a 120v burner unless you have a 12v supply available that is at least 20 amps. Look around to find what you want. We do offer several types of industrial quality burners at very reasonable prices. Call if you have any questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CCobb 21 Report post Posted April 4, 2009 I had the same set up. I added a 120v hot box, and I like it. I can see pros and cons to both but for the money I don't think you can go wrong adding the hot box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hpwasher 14 Report post Posted April 15, 2009 Thanks for the advice. I ended up buyig a new hotbox from sunbrite. came in on a pallet yesterday. My pressure washer is 5 years old with only a couple thousand hours on it. I just talked to a guy that has the single machine setup and he said his burner is leaking, now he has to take the whole thing in to get looked at, and his whole operation is down until it's fixed. I will be a kid in a candy story tonight, can't wait to try it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RGilliam 46 Report post Posted October 27, 2009 how has the hot box been working for you? I know this is a old thread but I was thinking about investing in one myself. I dont quite have the money for a whole new rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard 17 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 I added a hot box 5 or 6 years ago. If one went down, I was still able to work. It was a nice add on. I don't regret it for a moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Kassander 26 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 A separate unit/hot box is a good way to go it does offer some flexibility if you do have problems with one or the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
