the American Hoover has a huge spout that covers the circum
It takes 3 auto rinses sometimes 4. Verify by rinsing in cold after very hot wash, then pulling clothes and making sure all are cold and so soapy sounds are found;'D. Also rinse till water's clear.

Here's another shot
The tub frame is removed, trying to capture water throw, but accidentally hit hot at the taps and got steamed.

This last may come out pretty; can't tell from the giant
First pic is cold water at full pressure; 2nd & 3rd are at low pressure, hot: big difference in coverage--eh!?

Hoovermatic Spin Rinse
I hade the pleasure of using the US twinny with autorinse at Gregs during the vac convention in September, and here`s a pic of me using it in 2005....many of the club had never seen one in action or had remembered seeing one in use years ago...this is the model like our 3314 1974ish, forgotten the number again..Greg..help please??
Come to think of it the fill flume is slightly larger at the end than ours, can see why the water sprays from Mickeys..

Heres the last model that Neil has, again the fill flume produces a narrower stream of water

Ah yes!
I see what you mean, Mike. The problem I have is not flakes of undisolved detergent, more small light patches on dark clothing.
My OH has informed me that we're now out of automatic powders, so I'm going to work through my stash of high suds detergents until we move house in January. I think I'll be having a fiddle with my 3314L spout to improve the diffusion, and try Ralf's tinfoil trick at the bottom of the spin can again! Plus I plan to check the wringer belt tension on my W7002, as it's so prone to slipping!

Laundress, you know just how to tease us with those "Big Boy Toys" shame on you...Lol,,now who will be first to order??
Ralph, unless we come across a shop that has them them sadly they are nowhere to be found alas, what you could do is take a hoover black hose and cut the end off, usually a little longer than the 3301, which is sometimes a bit short for modern sinks, and use a new black filler hose, I think it compliments the machine as well, will keep one on order for you should the greys show up and I can send you a new set of black hoses should you require them, let me know
Simon, you are right there is an art to soak rinse and then auto spray rinse for excellent results...each to their own, I always loosen up the clothes and move them around for at least one manual rinse!!
now of course for superior manual rinsing what you need is a high pressure spray hose!!!

Rinsing
OMG Simon you will be rinsing for England with high sudz powders!! "High Foam, Rinse Forever formula"...LOL especially the way the Hoovermatic whips up the foam in both tubs!!

Confession to all and gift for Ralf and the mystery model nu
I never had the rubber mat that goes on top of the clothes, until I got my new Hoove through Laundress. Therefore, maybe my rinsing is better because the mat deflects the water somewhat, and I had no deflection. Also, the water pressure here on the lake is fire hydrant like. You might try opening up the valve to let more water in when spinrinsing; after all the Hoove pump is no slouch and can easily take the water. Moreover with a stronger fill volume, by the time spin kicks in the water level is really high in the tub, making for much more sloshing.
THE MODEL NUMBER IS T1023 of the machine with mike, identical to mine
Neil, you can see the controls in the 3rd pic, and there's just one more which you can see in Chestermike's pic. I'm working on a new roll, of film, don't have digital, so it'll be a while.
Ralf when the pump went on my first Hoove, I took it out, rigged up some new hosing to a Craftman utility pump, and I saved the "gray" (makes me think of aliens as they're sometimes called grays. ;'D
Found it in the garage yesterday. It's yours. Wait till after Christmas/New Years, and I'll send it. Can't now--way behind in my Shipping Department.

Just opened L's link
We should all chip in and buy her a Unimac for her birthday. Great Irony that this powerful giant is called a Unimac. Wonder if they knew about Unimatics. Wish we could see the insides of it.
Twin Tub Friends: Please read post above this one.

Mickey,
You really shouldn't run the spinner without the mat, it prevents items from being thrown over the top of the spin drum and into the outer drum where they can end up in the pump.
Have a big box of Hoover NOS Hoover TT parts that I've yet to catalog, but think there is a drain hose and spin mat in there somewhere. Was kind of saving them as spares since most everythin for Hoover TT's is no longer around.
Have to check my email accounts and bookmarks. IIRC there were several sources in England that still had some Hoover TT parts around.
Try Here:

OMG....so much to thank and to answer...had no time to got to the internet on week-end as my mate has got the flu and stays in bed and all homework had to be done by myself...
Where to start???
OK...
Michael! That is very kind of you!!! Big hug and kiss! For address and stuff just contact me via my e-mail-address, please!
What d'ya wanna have for postage and stuff? And where to send it?
Generally spoken: I had the idea to take the old hose off the conection part of the Hoover (nozzel that fits into the oulet hole) and glue a new hose to it... but do not know wether it will survive the try to force the old hose down. Also the little hook that holds the hose to the hole is nearly vanished and I do not know how to repair this at all...
So, a new one is really the best solution - thank to YOU!
Hi, Mike!
My twinnies are doing well, except my hotty as the bellow-seal isn't fixed yet...puh! Yes, I know, I'm lazy... but...so much other things to do...still looking for a new home... and so on... Have also gotten two new machines.....smile!! Both single-tubs! Yessssss.....I HAVE to do some photographs...I know!!! lol
BTW...what do you mean with my foil?
On your pic of the T5090 you can see what I approaches before, namely what happens when the spinner cans in the Hoovers aren't completely filled with fabric: water spills agains the container wall instead into the center of the drum, even worse when the outlet holes are in a row with the water jet! This is better made with the Hotties and their ring of water-jets, I feel.
Cheers, Ralf!!
