Re: Hoover HF7130M water usage during each cycle
Clothes come out dirty unless 5-10 litres of extra water are added.
Weak diaphragm on the switch which has taken it out of spec. New switch, new machine, clean clothes.
Re: Hoover HF7130M water usage during each cycle
Hi Kwatt
That makes perfect sense.
However, if I use a know quantity ( several towels already damp) and put them through on the same cycle, one with mega wash on and one with mega wash off. I should see a difference in the water usage for the wash cycle only. With this machine I don’t.
The mega wash should use more water and a longer cycle. The cycle is longer, but it uses the same water for the same load when the mega wash is switched off. I’m thinking the clue is in what the switch controls ? A second level on the pressure switch (dual level switch perhaps).

Hi Kwatt
I’m measuring the usage on a machine full loaded (7kg) without the extra rinse or mega wash and its still falling over 10 litres short.
It’s a 10 year machine with no micro processor control, so I assume its deriving the water level from the pressure switch.
I would have thought the marketing people strive to have the specs showing the least water usage, so would have expected hoovers 65 litre to be more like 70 in reality. Hence why it seems strange to be so far under.
