If only this water is not hotter than assumed in the washing program, nothing will happen. But you will save on electricity because the heater will not have to work
It just depends on what kind of washing machine it is, if some full electronic or one with senses, they can go crazy. Others may shorten the washing program. (Minus the water heating time). Usually it makes no difference, only giving "hot" water over 40-45 degrees at the beginning of the wash will cut proteins and trap them in the laundry. In addition, the washing machine will also rinse in warm water, which is no longer economical.
I supply the washing machine with (ordinary) warm water up to 40 *. In the "washing machine area" hot and cold water is supplied. Connected on the wall into one outlet for connection + valves for shutting off one or the other. Simply after loading the washing machine, you wait a while for it to take a hot valve and then on to the cold end. The ideal would be a washing machine with a cold and hot connection.
Hot water taken from the boiler at 2/3 of its height, so that there is no chance that the washing machine "selects" all the hot water and the temperature is right.
Hello, I also give hot water from the tank for the first wash and then with the myk valve and the rest goes colder but my luna starts to rain after 14 years. Best regards and I am asking for hints.
So if you have the option of connecting cold water, why do you give it hot water? Luna has a damaged heater? Up to PLN 1,200 is probably only Amica, now they offer a 5-year guarantee, so why not buy it ...
I give it hot because in winter I have it from the hot water tank and when it burns in the furnace, it can be said that it is for free and in the summer a solar collector
I have zanussi and I also give it a warm one from the CO boiler and a cold rinse for rinsing, but I watch over when it's over, ladies, I let them go from the beginning because the washing machine shortens the washing time by running time. I guess there are no contraindications.
And you can connect hot and cold water to a thermostatic mixer? I use it myself (set 30-60 ° C) also to lower the temperature of the water from the tank where the solar water is heated - I have there in the summer to 95 ° C and this temperature is not welcome in the tap
Yes, but buying expensive devices or connecting something to electricity generates a cost and in the way I showed, hot water is taken only for prewash (10l), then the next one that flows into the tank will not heat up from the flue and the washing machine rinses in the cold, the same in the case of dishwasher. This is the case in winter and in summer it is enough to paint such a tank black and put outside the water that goes to the devices has a dozen or so degrees more than from the network.
What about the parts through which cold tap water normally flows? When we connect the hot water tap to the washing machine for the entire laundry, will the hot water not damage something - e.g. plastic elements that may not be adapted to high temperature? On bricklayer forum someone wrote that the solenoid valve is not suitable for hot water. This question in the context of the very old POLAR PS 663 P BIO washing machine, which is still working, but the heater seems to have fallen.
Connecting hot water to a washing machine can be feasible, but it depends on the machine's design and the water temperature. Most modern washing machines have sensors to manage water temperature, and using warm water (up to 40°C) generally does not cause damage. However, water exceeding 40-45°C can lead to issues such as protein coagulation in laundry and potential malfunction in machines with sensitive electronics. Users have reported successfully using warm water for initial washes, followed by cold rinses, particularly in winter when hot water is more accessible. Concerns were raised about the compatibility of components, such as solenoid valves, with hot water, especially in older models. Brands like Amica and Zanussi were mentioned, with suggestions for machines designed for both hot and cold water connections. Summary generated by the language model.
