To clear more space in our kitchen I'm moving the washing machine into the lean-to. The lean-to already has a cold water supply.
I've always used hot and cold fill but I'm thinking that because the gas-heated water comes from the hot water tank upstairs and is heated by the boiler downstairs, the long pipe runs probably make this an unnecessary & inefficient option given that modern washing machines use so little water for the washing cycles anyway.
What do people think?
