In an urban environment, a washing machine is a mandatory representative of household appliances. No one wastes their time soaking, washing, boiling, rinsing and washing. Everyone appreciated the help of washing machines in housekeeping. Therefore, when housewarming, they purchase these electrical appliances immediately after buying a refrigerator.
What prevents the installation of automatic cars in villages
The situation is somewhat different in rural areas. Low incomes, lack of running water or the lack of the necessary water pressure in its pipes, the impossibility of arranging a sewerage system does not always allow installing an automatic washing machine in rural areas.
Summer residents install cars even less often for the same reasons. Their houses often have a small area. It seems that there is nowhere to fit the machine. Dirty clothes have to be washed by hand or taken to the city.
Howmachine wash without running water in the countryside
There are models designed for installation in areas without running water. As a rule, these are semi-automatic electrical appliances, equipped with only one compartment for washing.
Warm water is poured into such small washing machines. Its heating in such models is not carried out. Powder for activator machines or hand wash is poured. The laundry for spinning is shifted by hand into a special compartment, if any. Typical representatives of trademarks are Malyutka, Alesya, Feya, Saturn.
Don't forget about the obligatory drain. At the end of the working cycle, the device pumps out water through the hose. It is worth taking care in advance that the dirty soapy water goes into the drain pit or other designated place.
Using an automatic machine in the country
You can greatly simplify the problems associated with washing clothes by purchasing an automatic washing machine. Automatic washing machines with a water tank are an excellent solution from a European manufacturer of household appliances if there is no central water supply or there are interruptions in the flow of water.
About the built-in tank machine
The Slovenian brand Gorenje produces washing machines for rural areas with a water tank. It is placed on the side or attached to the back of the case.
You can load about six to seven kilograms of things into such a machine. Spinning is carried out at 800-1000 rpm. Drum volume - 42 liters. Programs are similar to those installed in other modelswashing machines: "cotton", "hand wash", "wool", "quick", "anti-allergy", "downy things". Thus, there is the possibility of a quick wash, which means saving time.
The dimensions of these washing machines for rural areas are:
- width - 60 cm;
- height - 85 cm;
- depth – 66 cm.
The cost of automatic washing machines "Gorenie" with a tank is about 22,000 rubles. This is a good option in the absence of running water.
How can I use an ordinary automatic machine
As a rule, everything that is outdated or not useful in the city is taken to the dachas. Residents of the villages are trying to buy new washing machines. For the village, any electrical appliance that facilitates the washing process is suitable, the main thing is that it is in working order. It must complete the entire work cycle after filling with water, including rinsing and spinning.
You can buy a small washing machine for giving. For normal operation, you need to install a tank of water at a sufficient height so that the machine gains water under pressure. If possible, then you should raise the barrel higher, for example, to the level of the roof or the second floor.
If there is a well or a well, a washing machine for rural areas is connected using a pump. It helps to pump the required amount of water.
Where to pour water into the automatic machine with horizontal loading
If there is no way to drag the tank to a great height, there is no pump or the water source itself, you can still use the automatic machine.
Many kulibins pour water through the powder compartment. You need to turn on the washing machine in the mains. Pour the powder into the compartment. Then pour water into it. It will wash off the detergent and enter the laundry department. If enough fluid is added, the machine will start working. Usually ten liters of cold water are needed.
After the main wash cycle, the machine drains the water and collects it for rinsing. At such moments, about ten liters must be poured again through the detergent compartment. If the machine rinses and drains normally, it means that there is enough water.
During a long working program, it may be necessary to add rinse water twice. If there is an electronic scoreboard, you should monitor the rinse indicator. As soon as it lights up, immediately you need to fill in water. Therefore, you should take care in advance that the container with it is next to the machine.
The amount of water needed depends on the capacity of the washing machine tank, the selected washing program, the number of items loaded. In rural areas, narrow washing machines need less. The maximum load of such devices is usually 3-5 kilograms of laundry.
Summarize
Even if there is no running water in the village, you can still simplify the washing process. To do this, it is enough to buy an activator-type washing machine, an automatic machine with a water tank, or tryuse the usual "washer" with horizontal loading. In any case, we must not forget that after the end of the work, the device needs to drain the water somewhere. With frequent washing, it is worth equipping a special moat or pit.
If there is a well, a pump is needed to use the washing machine in rural areas. You can install the water tank above the level of the washing machine to create the necessary pressure, or simply fill it through the powder compartment.
