Hurray for Hoover! Jeff: That's a great-looking Twinnie! It seems to be in minty condition! Is that Harvest Gold as deep as it looks in the pic? | ||

It looks mint! Congrats on your new washer, you'll have lots of fun with it. The automatic rinse feature allows you to place the clothes from the wash-tub into the spinner basket, after spinning out the wash water, you turn on the water at the faucet, set control to automatic rinse and let the machine take over. It will fill to a specified level, spin out the water and will continue this operation until you turn off the water and set to spin. Depending on the load in the spinner, it may take quite a few rinse 'cycles' before the detergent residue is removed. A neighbor of ours washed for a family of five with a Hoover just like this and used to wash for two cycles of the wash timer (approx. 10 minutes) and would let the auto-rinse run the whole time or until the water was clear coming from the drain hose during the spin periods. Spin the load for 3-4 min. after rinsing is done and switch the load and start all over. I suspect this won't be a "daily driver" but it is a lot of fun to play with and certainly a great example of Hoover history. Good luck and have fun! | ||

Hoover Splashmatic!!!
Hi Jeff Welcome to the Hoover SplashaRama club, your machine looks like the similar model here from around 1976, BUT we never did colour...pah.. These machines do a fab wash and ALWAYS produce a Hoover "SPLAT"...just as the clothes are gathering speed and perhaps bundling together you will see the pulsator move them all in a heap and the water surges from one side of the tub to the other producing the "SPLAT" which normally happens in front of the machine just where the two tubs meet...LOL This machine benefits from the auto rinse which will carry on rinsing until the cows come home or you swith off the water and spin selector... It also benefits from the spinner emptying the washtub...superfast style.. looking forward to hearing about it... Enjoy...Mike CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK

splashmatic.... I also have to remember to wait and turn on the agitator until the water has covered it by a couple of inches... Otherwise its like running the blender without the top on! | ||

Really? A Connie motor? How fun, I'd not heard that tidbit before! The Maytag does have two impellers, about the same volume level as the Hoover when washing but the spinner is where the difference is. The Maytag is much quieter while spinning, a little vibration noise of course, but overall much quieter. I'll bring mine out when I come to Chicago in November and we'll compare them side-by-side, just like Consumer Reports! | ||

How exactly does the coupler end work? Is there a solenoid valve that controls the auto-rinsing...if that's true then wouldn't there be some leaking with all that faucet pressure at the machine end? Inquiring minds want to know...;-) | ||

That's a great video; thanks for posting! Does the spinner automatically stop during the rinse/spin and then starts again? | ||

Hoover Splashdrama
Thanks Glenn for doing the video This was taken when Jon Jetcone was over for his trip...John from Birmingham had ringed the spinner so we could watch the auto rinse in action.... It starts just as the spin motor engages and pumps the water out...see that splashdrama in the deep laundry sink...if you ever try this in a normal nice to look at sink...dont...your` wet very fast and you have to jump to hold on to the pipe...LOL....Now how do we know that!!!!

Missing Hose
Check out the link below for a UK site that sells Hoover TT spares. You'll have to find the UK equalivent to your machine, but last time I checked they did have spare hoses. Your machine looks almost MIB, hope you have lots of fun with your new baby! Launderess CLICK HERE TO GO TO launderess's LINK | ||

You're welcome, glad to be of assistance. Have found in the past best to just get up early and telephone UK vendors directly, rather than emailing. If this site does not pan out, have another resource or two in my books, just let me know. Oh yes, if ordering from the UK, might as well order other parts for your machine as well. Things such as extra spin mats, belts and the like. Hoover UK no longer sells/makes TTs so parts will soon die out as in the US. Though it may be awhile, better to stock up now so to have spares about when needed. Personally recommended finding an extra pump to have on hand "just in case". Best of luck Launderess | ||
