that is for saftey reasons so the pump will not get hot water. it is not a thermostat to keep water at that temp.

 How would that mess up my pump if the water in the water box is heated to 179 deg. The water goes to pump from the water box? Have you ever tried to put your hand in the water box to adjust float after TM has been running for a while? You can't the water is so stinking hot. What you are doing by hooking to hot water is just taking the place of your Blower pre heat water exchanger. At least this is what my Pro Chem Legend is like. Some PC's have 2 blower HX to get the water Pre Heated before going through the pump then the Exhaust HX to the wand.

 I was thinking the same thing today. My water box has a relief valve that says 180 deg. That means that when the water in the box reaches that temp it would open and dump into waste tank. So the water goes from the water box to the pump at 179 deg or less without pump damage so there should be no problem hooking to a hot water sorce to get water as long as it is not greater than 180 deg. Correct? I only do this in the winter to help my HX out.

I don't think it will make much difference if you have a good heat exchanger....

You would need to check with the pump manufacture, to see what tempratures a pump can operate at. Pumptec pumps can operate at very high tempratures

Depends on what you call hot.
 
I preheated the water going into the pump with no adverse effect and lots of hot water output. Nearly all pumps are designed to take up to 140 degree water temps without shortening their life. I limited my pre-heating to 100 degrees water temp. Used this way you will improve your cleaning without shortening your pumps life at all.

The message from the experts (means people with personal experience) is don't try it unless you want your pump to die a premature death.  Stop thinking about it.  Cold water in, hot water out.  Some have tried.  I am one of those.  I don't recommend you ever do it. 

I no longer do HWE, only low moisture cleaning.
