A little beast! The V-TUF HD140-Hot boasts a maximum pressure of 140 bar but also comes with the capabilities to produce hot water whilst maintaining a compact size. This unit includes an automatic by-pass valve when there is zero pressure in the pump head, an Induction electric motor with thermal protection, a total stop system that saves electricity when the machine is not in use and a safety pressure switch to switch off the boiler in case of lack of water. It is also equipped with an energy efficient vertical boiler with double coil and refractory material base. The benefits for using hot water pressure washers are: HOT WATER COMBATS GRIME & GREASE QUICKER - hot water lifts and dissolves dirt, solidified oils and fats faster than a cold-water machine resulting in a time saving of up to 35%. Surfaces cleaned with hot water dry faster enabling them to be used sooner. HOT WATER COMBATS GERMS - cleaning with hot water significantly reduces the presence of germs without the application of sanitising chemical. However, if it is a highly infected area that you are cleaning, we would recommend applying the VTC720 - HEAVY DUTY Surface Cleaner Sanitiser after cleaning the area down with the pressure washer as a precautionary measure. HOT WATER CAN BE USED TO SOFT WASH - cleaning with hot water at a lower working pressure can achieve the same cleaning effect as high pressure cleaning and thus protecting sensitive surfaces. Such as stone walls and roof tiles.
