I was thinking the same thing but when I went around to look for this, i plan to use the solar heater water to use with washing machine.. the conclusion 1. 95% of all models has only cold water inlet only. (Those who have are very rare brands) 2. Regular washing machine has a water heating element inside. finally gave upon the whole idea. Anyway you use the heated water for washing=less hot water for bathing.(solar water heater is graded by its storage capacity) This post has been edited by phoenix69: Oct 8 2011, 08:46 PM |

Actually why not get a mixer tap and the output to the washing machine? You can adjust warm temperature output, let the washing machine heat the rest.

That won't use much of the hot water from the solar heater. |

QUOTE(ozak @ Oct 8 2011, 10:22 PM) Using washing machine heat up the water, suck power alot. I try not to use it unless very dirty cloth. Sometime is good to use hot water for laundry if kid(s) or adult are sensitive to dust mite. It also advice to use hot water for office attire cause it can really made white clothes very clean. Don't put any color clothes it will de-color and affect the other clothes.As weikee suggest, use mixer tap to supply the hot water. That won't use much of the hot water from the solar heater. I think most mixer outlet are 4/8". So you need to get converter from 4/8" to 6/8" for washing machine. Should be easy find. |

QUOTE(XPS @ Oct 8 2011, 01:23 PM) You do realise that some fabric can only be washed with "cold" water? How hot is the incoming water to your machine from solar? Most front loaders should be built to withstand up to 90 degrees Celcius wash temperatures. And that means the entire machine is going to be temperature resistant and your solar is unlikely to reach that kind of temperature. Best if you get a confirmation from the manufacturer you are buying from. inside the washing machine got hot water valve to control the water temperature..let say u set 30'c, it will mix the cold and hot until 30'c. i saw samsung got, but not in malaysia..Added on October 9, 2011, 9:10 am QUOTE(weikee @ Oct 8 2011, 09:42 PM) Actually why not get a mixer tap and the output to the washing machine? You can adjust warm temperature output, let the washing machine heat the rest. if using mixer, when the washing machine not flow water into the machine, the hot water will flow back to cold water pipe, or unless u install two check valves.This post has been edited by yi_min82: Oct 9 2011, 11:01 AM |

I don't think is a problem unless you prefer to leave the tap on 24x7.
Last time we had a indesit washing machine fully imported. It come with hot cold inlet. You can try source for imported model. This post has been edited by weikee: Oct 9 2011, 11:04 AM |
