    How to clean the inside of a washing machine and keep it that way

    This entire thread is about using chemicals like Vanish, percarbonate or Lizol to kill/remove biofilms that form in washing machines. Biofilms developing inside the machine and left untreated is the leading cause for drum support failure in a front loader. So these biofilms are not good to have...

    How to clean the inside of a washing machine and keep it that way

    30gm of Labogens percarbonate with one Finish tablet (16gm) as shown above. That's a 2:1 percarb to detergent ratio like in an Affresh tablet Half an hour into tubclean without any fabric and there is very little foam. So this is a working solution :happy: You could double with 50gm...

    Request suggestion for a 7 - 8 kg washing machine.

    Ask them how they would help in case there is a problem Yes it does This is the base model with nothing more than the essentials. It's like mine with some modifiers removed. I found a white 8kg variant. But be careful. FHB1208Z2W with a B & the 2 is the one you want with 55cm depth. Flipkart...

    Then it's soap scum deposits as opposed to scale isn't it. My contention is if your hardness is 250ppm or more the heating element is going to be scaled up Ok. I'll descale with citric and try

    OK so how do you explain no scale formation on the heating element of a geezer used over ten years? Wet season hardness is 60 -120ppm Dry season 150-175 ppm Heating water increases scale precipitate so a heating element is more likely to attract scale formation at a certain hardness that may...

    Front loading or top loading washing machine?

    If you want your FL to last and properly clean your clothes then you are going to have to start giving a damn. FL's need care and require a little more maintenance. You can't use top loader detergent in them only front loader. And its important not to cheap out on detergent as that can have a...

    Front loading or top loading washing machine?

    Yeah that's their base models. I was taken up with their Series 6 because it had an internal heater. Give her this epic line by @tech.addict She will only understand what clean really means after she has used a front loader :cool: No better way to express it than that Nope and I would say...

    Request suggestion for a 7 - 8 kg washing machine.

    nah Yes and it will help you to understand the difference between those two models. In the US machines are rated by volume in cubic feet not weight like here. If you didn't know what size to get, all need is a carton box of the largest volume machine sold. Then make marks inside for smaller...

    Front loading or top loading washing machine?

    What is the model number or can you link to it? Only in India will you find toploaders by Bosch :greedy: Which makes me think that Bosch is not the OEM.

    The only time I see 60ppm is for one month when the monsoons are in full swing When hardness is low you start to see some correlation with TDS. But when it's high that link is no longer there. The TDS will typically be much higher than hardness because it's taking into account the conductivity...

    60 ppm is soft water and cannot cause any scaling. There is no universal standard here for hardness. Anything above 120ppm is considered hard in the US Anything above 200ppm is considered hard in the UK. India has no standard but it's fair to say you will see scaling around 250ppm and up...

    Why didn't you also test this with Aquasol? The kit you used could do it. It would have been an extra data point. Untreated water with excess Ca & Mg salts is causing limescale deposits. Yeah I had to clarify untreated water obviously Right, because why are you mentioning treated/softened...

    How did you measure this? Lab or aquasol Obviously I'm referring to untreated water. And its Mg & Ca salts that cause the hardness. Any VIII kid can tell you that Good idea because I have zero confidence in your testing skills. Lab testing is not a choice for many others. So they don't test...

    It does because you can't do any more testing since you don't own any test kits. Aquasol has a far larger inventory of products compared to Bionix meaning they have been in the field for longer. That's the reason to recommend them. It is far simpler for everyone concerned to order a kit off...
