I used to have this colour of HMDL, currently have the last version of grey, T5090. I have never had an instruction book for a HMDL, and I always wondered how to get the flow of rinse water right into the spinner, and I noticed that the white plastic thingy round the hose is the flow indicator. How do I know if the flow is too much? I usually use a regular grey rubber hose on my taps, and as I have 1960's supataps in my kitchen, I have to turn the hose and tap at the same time, creating a very pressurised flow ( I live in a tower block were the water is pumped at pressure) Washing jeans, I find washing one pair at a time inside out for blue jeans, but sometimes with thin jeans you can wash two pairs at once, with a little extra wash water. That old HMDL on Ebay going for grabs here in Hull, I phoned the seller and he is hoping to reach £300!! So I hope you guys have some spare cash floating around! Oh, anyone have a spare HMDL pump handy that I could buy? Mine is on the blink.

Well the hose that comes with the hoovermatic just clips into the hole that says rinse in between the washer and the spinner. with the lid of the spinner open turn the tap on slowly until u get a reasonable stream of water onto the clothes. Note here if its hitting the opposite side of the drum and going out through the holes then you have it too fast. i guess its a rapid stream onto the clothes. i found it works quite well over the last couple of days.
That guys living in cuckoo land if he thinks he's gonna get 300 quid lol paid 50 quid for mine 2 days ago.
As for the pump you can pick up spares for the pump on ebay and on other sites.
