eaglepride 14 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 Is a adjustable thermostat worth having on a machine? I was thinking about adding one to my alkota 3500psi 5.5gpm machine. Pro and cons of them. Thank you Sent from my GT-I9000T using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guy B 70 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 Why wouldn't you want one? There are times when you don't need full temp. I don't understand why any hot water skid doesn't come with a t-stat as standard equipment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't recall a time when we have needed lower temps. When do you need that? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cleanhoods 43 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 My unit comes with no thermostat it is a riser. Just another part. In my work continuous heat with no limit is the key. Marko Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eaglepride 14 Report post Posted March 14, 2012 I came across a job that does need lower temps. If i can do that it could turn into good work. Sent from my GT-I9000T using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyshelton 112 Report post Posted March 15, 2012 I think a lot of these guys would be surprised at just how much heat is lost as little as 3 inches from the tip in a fan spray. It's not so much with an Xjet. I should make a video of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
