Hello to all aw members,

When i have 2 loads to do thats when i wash bedding if i start say with the regular load washer set on warm water when the cycle is complete and the first load is drying when i put the first load of bed sheets the washer set on hot water the wash water even if the washer is set to hot water for the main wash the water is dumb down because of the final rinse that cold water wash only and sometime it makes me wonder why they are making washers today all cold rinse (Please note that this fact both includes topload washers and frontload washers). sometime i thin that the manufacturer building the washer should do there homework and study a vintage machine and not be binded by goverment regulation sure we can have energy star washers and dryer but it should not affect the tempatures we went to chose for rinse water and i am pretty sure that using a warm rinse today would shorten the drying time of the load as well. Credit to the members whos pictures i am using as exemple

Temperature Regulator

Sounds like you need to install a temperature regulator to maintain cold water at 30C.

I thought you were the one advocating washing everything in cold water a while ago. Now you are talking about washing in hot & warm water. Has something changed?
