Economy 7 & Washing machines

AnthonyL · 2015-11-03T21:58:45+00:00

OK so I've read the 7hot/cold argument and with my machine also right next to a gas boiler I'd prefer to have both hot & cold as the wash would be quicker and cheaper. But now what really gets me is that I used to be able to put the dial around to the wash start cycle and have a timer on the socket to kick off in the early hours of the morning taking full advantage of E7. Now it is an electronic switch which can't work off a timer. Solutions? Or do I just get off the E7 tariff?

Arqiva, nothing to do with the BBC other than the BBC pay Arqiva for the service. AIUI the "valve issue" is no longer an issue.

There's nothing to stop you getting a mechanical controller type machine, they're still out there.
