Here's the video I promised of the new Servis Superheat in action on a hot wash this morning. I require no comments on the Marigold gloves. That water was over 90 degrees Celsius.

The music was recorded earlier this year.

I use those yellow gloves quite a bit. Great video!

Great video! Lovely music too. Did you play that yourself?

I was wondering, is there some kind of filter?

The Filter

is underneath the agitator. It's a fixed one which you can see in the last frames of the video next to the heater element. It only really does anything when the pump is on but you can activate the pump whilst washing.

And yes, it's me playing. I did that recording while practising one afternoon. It was done on a Dictaphone and I think comes out really well for such a small microphone. The acoustic in the church helps a lot.

How do you do a hot wash? Do you fill with water and let it come up to temperature? Do you add clothes, agitate and then let it soak?

Only the British

Only a British person would have the class to accompany the laundry with a fine trumpet tune on the organ.

I am an organist also-great playing! Would you mind telling me about the specification of the instrument off-list?

And the Welsh to boot. Here is a link (if it works) to the specification. It's only a baby by your standards. I'm planning to put some more organ music on the Youtube channel when I get around to it.

Hot wash

There are a number of ways to do a hot wash. My domestic hot water is around 60 degrees Celsius. I usually fill up, add the powder, agitate for a minute to dissolve it, then add the clothes and heat to as hot as I wish. That way the clothes get the benefit of the stain removal benefits that the soaking gives.

On the majority of my washers the washer agitation starts once the thermostat reaches the set temperature and the heater then goes off. On both the Servis twin tub and the Superheat in the video I can leave the heater on while the agitation continues therefore heating the water and agitating at the same time. They don't have thermostats. I like this as I don't have to keep heating the water between washes to keep it up to temperature. It does give the fuse a bit of stress though and the plug gets very hot, probably as the machine is 15 Amp and the fuse only 13.

oops! My apologies...

I do apologize about the mis-labelling. My rector, Scottish by the grace of God, has educated me on the dangers of using the wrong term in the Isles! I heard the instrument and said "British" without even thinking to look at the location.

Again, my most sincere and humble apologies.

organ

I am an organist too and the instrument you have played is much bigger and better than what I have to play upon each Sunday. Two manuals and 5 unit stops, electric action and stop controls, manufactured by an organ company in Illinois in 1946. I too would like to know what the trumpet tune is. Thanks, Gary

Washerman - Most of us in Wales don't mind being British.

Gary - It's surprising what you can do with a small one though. The St. Martin's organ on the recording has quite a lot of extension work within the divisions and whilst it makes a nice sound the acoustic covers up some of the harshness of it. The piece is Festive Fanfare by Andrew Fletcher.

Thanks so much for the information. I will order the music soon. I have played the Festival Tocatta by Percy Fletcher. I have an 18 rank pipe organ in my house. Nice oboe and big 8' tuba,16'half length reed in the pedal. Two string celestes, 3 flutes, diapason chorus - 8 4 2 which are independent ranks. 16' bourdon in the pedal, mixture 2 ranks, and sesq. 2 ranks.

Thanks for explaining the filter. I guess I didn't pay enough attention. ;-) I did notice that you put the machine on recirculation. Funny that the drainhose attaches to the same spout in the tub.

I hope to hear more from you playing. The recording was indeed not bad for a dictaphone.

Priceless and fabulous. I loved it. Thank you
