Do you know how low that is? Even off a pump, ours (down South) produced 3.5 bar, says husband. Take a look at the restrictor in the picture. Thats so damn tiny. And I'm happy with it gone. |

| 1449459 | 2018-05-12 23:50:00 | They are restrictors fitted in the cold water to balance the low pressure flow from a lp hot water cylinder. Most people dont care about the slow fill on an automatic washer. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 1449460 | 2018-05-13 06:07:00 | I'd say most never had one like that. We havn't either. The one I had before wasn't that bad, never actually looked to see these things before. Perhaps it did, perhaps it didn't. Friend has a very modern (far more so than mine) machine so I watched, nope, hers fills quickly, and she's on LP. Guess this machine was just especially restricted. It did used to E10 occasionally, and resume itself without intervention.....a bit extreme I think with it's teeny holes. |
