EDIC Heat N run with the rotovac 360i: How well do they work together?

[Donald]

Question: Hi, I had a question about the Heat-n-Run 2000 Watt External Heater. I am looking to add heat to a portable that I use. Can this unit keep up demand if I am using a Rotovac Powerwand or 360i. The rotary units do use more water that traditional wands. Just wondering if you have any info or feedback you could share with me. Thanks

Answer: The rotovac as well as other power wands will use about 2 to 3 times more water than a regular wand as when the lever is depressed it is spraying at least 1/3 more water and the lever is depressed at least more than twice as often. This means while a traditional 2000 watt heater with a dual jet wand might experience a 30 degree rise F, the same heater might only offer a 10 degree rise with a rotary power wand. The only way to get more rise is to add more watts to the water.
