The Hot2Go Hot Link CPHL5DC is the 12V DC hot water heater module that converts a cold-water pressure washer into a hot-water unit without replacing the entire machine. Pressure-washing contractors, fleet wash operators, and detailers running cold-water units choose the Hot Link because it delivers the soil-removal power of hot-water cleaning at a fraction of the cost of a full hot-water pressure washer replacement.
Built for
Pressure-washing contractors running grease-and-oil work where cold water alone leaves a film. The Hot Link adds the heat that emulsifies oil-based contamination - critical for restaurant exhaust, parking-deck oil drips, and equipment degreasing where a cold-water unit would not finish the job.
Fleet wash operators on truck, bus, and equipment cleaning routes. Hot water removes road grime, salt, and oil-based films faster than cold water and reduces the chemical detergent dosing rate.
Auto detailers and mobile car-wash operators who want hot-water capability on a 12V truck-powered system without the noise and exhaust of a diesel-fired heater.
Mobile pressure-washing operators running off the truck where 12V DC power is the available source. The DC operation is the entire reason for the product - 120V AC heaters are not an option without an inverter and a generator.
12V DC operation
The CPHL5DC runs directly off the truck's 12V DC electrical system - no inverter, no generator, no extra fuel. The 12V DC operation is what makes the Hot Link a practical mobile-rig add-on. Connect to the truck battery (with appropriate fuse and disconnect) and the heater is on. The Hot Link does not include a pressure washer; it pairs with the cold-water unit you already own.

Frequently asked questions
Is the pressure washer included?
No. The CPHL5DC is the hot water heater module only. It pairs with the cold-water pressure washer you already own. The Hot Link adds heat to that cold-water output.
Why hot water vs cold?
Heat emulsifies oil-based contamination - the film of road grime, kitchen grease, parking-deck drips, and equipment lubricant that cold water cannot lift. For typical residential pressure washing (decks, fences, siding) cold water is fine; for fleet wash, food service, and equipment degreasing, hot water is the difference between finishing the job and leaving a smear.
What runs the heater?
12V DC truck power. The heater connects directly to the truck battery with appropriate fuse and disconnect. No inverter or generator needed.
Will this work with any pressure washer?
The Hot Link pairs with most cold-water pressure washers. Verify your machine's PSI and GPM ratings are within the Hot Link's operating range before ordering.
