 Topic: Propane or Volcano 6000 heaterPosted: 16/May/2006 at 5:32pm |

Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I am just starting out in the Carpet Cleaning business. I happened to buy a used Truck mount from a guy here locally that is retiring from the carpet cleaning business after 25 years. It is an older HydraMaster Truck Mount that heats the water with Propane. My question is would the Volcano 6000 Watt Tankless Electric Water Heater be sufficient enough to use with my system? I dont really want to use the propane burner as it seems dangerous and it would feel as if I had a bomb in the van. I almost just ditched the idea of using the TM i bought and was going to go with a heat portable and rotovac because i just dont feel comfortable using the propane burner. I dont have the capital to buy and new TM either. :( Has anyone gone this route instead of the propane? Please advise? Thanks erick |

I would go with the already setup propane. Make sure there is no leaks. I had propane with my panther 20hp in the early 90's.
Left the burner on one time from one job to the next and wondered why it was soooooo hot in the van.
Propane is as safe as you make it. Respect it and you will be fine.
I'm still around.

I think, that's the problem. I respect it tooo much. I know it's hotter, its just more of a liablity. Thanks for your input.

Definately use the propane. I think you will be careful with it since you are concerned about the safety issues; just use common sense and respect it. You will love the heat.
