Your heater
As your machine has no pressure switch try using less water and see it boils then.! You can always add cold water to top it up as will be to hot to wash with.
Worth a go to see if it will boil I do remember a relative had a mk2 Hoovermatic and it was below the pulsator with water but boiled a treat. Austin | ||

Just looked at our Supermatic and it has a 3KW element in it,
Paul has a video I think of it actually boiling - it does give a really rolling boil, Not sure what Element wattage a Servis has but I daresay anything below 3kw wont allow that amount of water to boil nor will the 2.5kw Hoover element, as Simon says its just a gentle simmer. Now what I alo wonder is that with the Supermatic the heater is under the agitator, my agitator has holes in it up the post, seems to me part of the boiling could be helped here by it almost being similar to a coffee percolator. Water boils in the confined space below the agi, rises and pours out the holes allowing water to circulate and heat. Should the Servis perhaps aid this if it was to have a 3kw heater? | ||

Rob... What is the Hotpoint Spiraclean Agitator made out of? I often thought it would melt with that powerful heater underneath it. I have no Twin Tub now, just the Twosome but a Twinny is coming in two weeks, unknown of model or condition though. P.S. I added you on Facebook! James. | ||

Hi Lance...
It must have slipped my memory, if you can mail me your address i will bring the manual into work and get them posted off to you, scanned copies are not great of this manual as the drawings are not very dark. What did you get from Qualtex ? Rubber mounts..? I think the Empress has a 3kw heater from memory. I didn't think it had a heater, it would have been a EW50H if it did, but looking good regardless, not sure i would bust it just to put a heater in. Keith | ||

Servis
Hi lance, great line up of machines to cover all areas of laundry, is this the Servis from Blackpool or the Blue one repainted??
Still searching for spare spin boots, though mathew came up with a great suggestion of using an inflatable tyre inner tube, which could look like its would work.. A few of us are sorting out machines for parts so hopefully we can look at those spin can boot replacements... How do you rate the Parnall over the Empress?? | ||

Hi Mike,
That spin can boot is that the black cowl around the top of the outer spin can ? Lance...regarding your Parnall, does it still empty via the side pipe without any leaking..? the one i had because it was a split tube which could be raised up, the rubber tube connector had perished, and use to wash the floor instead of emptying into the sink..lol I will hopefully get those scans off to you early next week, I am not at home at the weekend. Cheers Keith | ||

Morning Lance,
It would be good to see some pics, the machine i had was the one you want, but never seen the re-styled machine. I think I may still have the chrome wringer guards, let me see and i will let you know. Like you I would have loved to have had a 50's kitchen, but thought better of it. Keith | ||
