The Vortex, takes a lickicking and keeps on tickig

Damn kids had the exhaust diverter installed wrong.
Surpised the back pressure didn't create any issues, luckily the plumbing is old and leaky..

Decent heat with one wand, 160 with two..

Rarely gets used with two so it went un noticed until my ride along yesterday..

 

[Vincent Feehan]

Good fix, Looks nice and clean though

 

[GeneMiller]

sad that such an awesome machine doesn't produce more heat. i always though it could easily run two with heat to spare. Ill bet it burns less fuel than mine.

 

[Mikey P]

Huh?

It will produce pure steam if I were stupid enough to want it..

 

[GeneMiller]

you said it will hold 160 with two wands. my old 5m would do that. did i misunderstand, was the low heat because it was installed wrong.

 

[Mikey P]

The diverter was installed backwards..

Hey @Mikey P , Is the maintenance on that diverter pretty easy to do? How long does it usually take you to do?

 

[Jimmy L]

Duh!
