What kind of Hotsy is it, and is it expensive?

I do like a clean engine as well, and once I got it that way it is now just a matter of maintaining it that way.

Dang! That's like showroom floor quality clean. I did mine a few weeks back, didn't turn out that good.

Nice!

It is 2.2 gpm at 2000 psi. It heats water up to 240*(no it is not steam because every pound of pressure raises the boiling point 3*) I bought it used on Craigslist for I think $1200.00. I see them occasionally for $1500 on average.

Here is what mine is
