heat exchangers

Diamond,

What are you planning on using it for...a car shower? Have heard of them for this use. Considerably cheaper than the Glind or Twine but don't know if they are as good.

Diamond,

I guess this is them:

Well, that looks like the go. How much is the Twine unit all up? If you bought the Helton heat exchanger ($99) and a Shurflow pump ($160), hoses ($30??) shower rose and hose ($20??), then say at $300, is that cheaper?

Or you could lose the Shurflo pump and get something cheaper.

I am a Gas Technician by trade so can make one myself with copper, but with labour I don't reckon you could get one made for $99.

Someone buy one!!

Twine is $380 on this site.

Is anyone else having trouble getting to the models, installation & specs page of the Helton website? I can get their main home page, but not these other pages.

Hi diamond I was looking at one of them as well and am going to buy one . I have a bildge pump and a shower head I used to use when I had a old heat exchange fitted to my holden HQ.I don't have the heat exchange anymore but I have the rest of the stuff. The pump works well it pumps out 20L in around 3m.I let you know how it goes.

Regards Geoff

Droped in to see the Guy at Healton heat exchangers just before Xmas!
They look verry good I saw the unit mounted on their Cruser troopy. Had been sitting for an hour and the water was HOT!(couldn't hold hand under) They use it on a regular basis for camping and hand washing on the job. He uses his vehcle mount air compressor to presurise(10psi) a small water tank so no pump! They come in several hose connector formats depending on the setup of your heater hose's. I will be buying one as soon as I get my new Patrol. Give the guy a call he is eay to talk to.

PS no affilation

thanks for the replys i think i will order one on monday i phoned the guy this morning and was quite happy with what i was told .its only $99 and ive drunk more than that in one night lol so if its good you will hear about it and he might sell more and if its not you will also hear about it lol

This one caught my eye as I was scanning the forum. So I checked out the Helton website. Maybe it's just me, but they make some pretty good claims about their unit. One pass of water and it heats to 50-60 degrees.
That seems almost too good to be true for a unit that is 100mm shorter than the Twine unit but the same diameter.
Maybe they do with a slower flow rate.

hi
sorry to be so hard to find. The Helton site has only just been activated on the web and all bugs will be gone soon.
We have a fourth model coming shortly which is suited to Land Cruisers and Patrols.
