Hi all a friend told me about this resourse

I have a prochem Bruin and I just switched from a prochem 3 jet s bend to a 6 jet Ti wand just getting used to pushing such a big wand love how light it is. The heat is much higher with the old wand than the new one.I could go to smaller jets but I like the extra flushing I get. Does any one have imput on bypassing the heat exchanger and adding a propane heater. And which heater to choose.how many BTUs for higher flow.

thank you very much

Seen one guy that would heat his water in his FWT so by doing this think he achieved the heat he was looking for.

no need to bypass the HX

 

I have a kerosene burner that hooks up after the HX.................burn less kero that way

I ran BruinII's for a few years and never had a problem with Pro Chem 4 jet wands and heat. What is the jet size on the Ti wand and what was the jet size on the three jet wand. I didn't know anyone still used the old 3 jet wands heavy brutes I still have on  the bench we use it for power washing.  maybe a 4 jet wand upgrade would have been enough.

maybe you need to service your HX's  you should take out the whole darn thing and give it a soak... it might have some carbon build up..

I think the HX's in a bruin will supply you more than enough heat..

what ever way you go good luck
