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.

1449458 2018-05-12 21:46:00 We run our front loader off a pump, water pressure is great in the shower too, better than the mains pressure we had in Brightwater. gary67 (56)
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.
