Water Dragon 8 GPM Hot...what Surface Cleaner? Accessories? So much knowledge needed!

Does the water dragon use a largo heater? Pics of the Water dragon a few months ago, had the Largo logo on the burner, now it says water dragon. I only ask because the Largo 10 gpm hot water skid is $6000 with fuel tanks and the water dragon is $6200(was $5800 a few weeks ago!) without them. What is the difference? I am getting close to pulling the trigger on one of them and am just curious if the water dragon has more features?

Ralph.... Just by both!! J/K......... you realize when you pull the trigger on one.......... we will never see you on this forum again........... you will be washing away...... with a huge grin!!

The one without tanks is a Water Dragon Slimline,,,,,,,,,Takes up less room

I have a 100' length of "non-marking" Goodyear Neptune 2-wire hose (blue). Has worked fine as a secondary (2-wire = PITA) until yesterday when all of a sudden it started marking Big Time. Anyone know what's up with that?

My hoses started vibrating on a job an marked concrete like crazy. Filter was dirty.

I believe the water dragon also has the exhaust piped into the burner causing greater heat rise and fuel efficiency on the burner.

so its not a largo? or a modified largo?

Thanks Andy, am going to check that out!

The water dragons come with 2 wire hose not 1 wire and the unit is custom built for us with components from Largo with all American steel to prevent coil issues.

Thanks Paul. I like the exhaust going into the burner, that sounds like a smart idea.

Scott has 3 units he estimated approx $2500 per year savings on diesel fuel from the extra heat rise I gives you.

 

[greg/sd]

I talked to a distributor years ago about doing that and they talked me out of it said it wouldn't work.

 

[Luis Orts]

I attest to this Paul. I talked with Andy today about getting one, and he mentioned Scott saving a ton of money on Diesel costs.

But truth be told, I was sold on it even before he said that haha.

Sometimes we bypass the heater coil when we are running cold water on long hose runs do you think it would Jack up the coil being toasted by the muffler with no flow running through it?

 

[Paul Kassander]

It would be best to avoid that, if it runs long enough you will make steam and heating the empty pipe to much would not be good for it either. What is nice about the unit is you still get some warm water even with the heater off so why not use it, it will clean better.
