If its for washing out your pig sheds, I wouldn't bother with the hot, it gets expensive in fuel and parts, just pre soak for a few hours with detergent, and use turbo nozzles.
Consider building your own using an old mounted sprayer as the base. I use the interpump 66 series pumps, they are very reliable.
Keep it simple with a belt drive, mount the pump on a sliding motor base, add a unloader returning to tank and burst disc or valve for over pressure. Y piece for splitting flow to 2 lances, and add 2 hose reels.

For everything really ….. i pre soak the shed with water from vac tanker at moment and have turbo nozzel , just could do with two lances and thought hot would be good but if they fickle i might just stick to cold ..

I bought one of these to use on my tractor washer, but the only thing it really makes a difference on is milk replacer residue Mazzoni hotbox.

For normal washing it just slows me down, having to refuel it, and it does use a lot when used at high temp and flow rates.

Detergent put on with a suttner foam lance does a better job on normal pig pens IMHO.

Biolink biofoam e at the moment, but they all seem to be pretty similar. Have used whatever the suppliers send out and they all do the job.
