Judging by how small your hand looks, I don't doubt your short.... idk how you got burned on the neck... Like Forrest Gump's mama used to say..........
only you would be sizing up my hands. :) i coiled up some hose and threw it up on my shoulder and there was the hot quick connect. sorry forgot you run balls to the walls with cold water.

dumb question, but if that were a water temp gage why does it go down to zero, as the water would be frozen solid and couldn't read that low anyways, you sure you don't have a pressure gage on there?
most temp gages, have the Fahrenheit symbol on them.

or your gage says your cleaning with super cold liquid. (i dont know how since it is actually below zero, even if it were a celsius gage)

You said I run balls to the with cold water... I simply proved I dont.. I pegged the gauge to see how hot I can get my water ATW... 150' out and I don't have a problem getting hot water... LG#4 propane heater. 220° ATW is what I currently run..

I was considering making a video of my 10 year old poorly maintained Butler with 8000 hours that still goes out every single day and kicks ass


But a video of a brand new unit is a far more reliable testament of a units value and longevity

So Scott your guys want the new truck??? I wonder why a Rage compared to a 1200 scott edition,

a 3.6 blower or a 4.8?

Having used a #3 blower a 4.5 a 4.7 and now a 4.8. The suck is exponentially better. Easier cleaning, more heat better results. It like they're driving a smart car while your in a F150. They have to work 2x harder to get the same results.

So ya they want that new bad boy it works.

Awesome, but proves nothing. put a temp gauge on at 100' and then show us. Manufacturers put the temp sensors in convenient places to show the most possible heat.
Explain to me how it matters where in the machine the temp gauge is. How much heat could it lose just moving a few more feet to leave the machine? And how much heat are you really losing to the wand once the steel braid is hot? I sometimes can't hold the barrel of my stair tool while cleaning because it's too hot and that's the water after hitting the carpet.

2 examples. My friend has a Vortex truck the big pwerful one that is suppose to put out monster heat. I'm not sure where the temperature sensor is in that thing, but I ran it for a week in March. The machine would show a staggering 270 at the machine, all the while inside I have temp gauges on all my tools. Never once during the week I ran it did the temperature ever exceed 200 degrees at the wand and it would hold about 185-190 at 100' out.
My machine that I built has a stainless steel manifold that my sensor plugs in to. I have an adapter on my sensor that doesnt allow it to be directly in the flow of water to get an exact reading, The sensor sits back out of the direct water flow about 1/4' . I can have it show 210 at the machine while I'm getting 210 at the wand. That little quarter of an inch is making the reading off by about 35-40 degrees, which is about how much heat I'm losing in my hose from truck to wand. many machines have things like this going on. hats why at the machine readings just dont hold much merrit in my book. At the wand readings are good evidence of true heat performance.
