Great Pics!
Thanks for those and the further explanation as I was hoping you would add. I learn about mine through your experiences.
I'm so excited to get working on mine soon now after seeing yours all cleaned up.
Strange though, how small the rear access panel is compared to many other Hoover TT models which were much larger.

AHA! I never put 1 and 1 together, but that explains why on my 0519 there is a hose coupler and clamp between the pinch valve on the pump and the wash tub drain... it's in the exact same spot the Y is on the 0632. I guess Hoover designed it that way so that the same pump and same wash tub drain hose could be used on either the 0519 and 0632.
Thanks unclejohn for the extra photos!

Hi guys! Thanks, again, for your interest in this washing machine.
I will digress a little bit:
Tonight I had to go to the nearby hospital, wait for four hours, then meet a doc who ordered radiographies coz a severe pain under the left foot (heel, to be more precise) just appeared today. Almost instantly! Ouch!!! Per chance the radios revealed nothing too serious, but I'll have to take pain killers during a couple of weeks, put some ice regularly and avoid walks during at least one week.
No idea about the medical term for that kind of a shit, but in french (outta here) they call that 'fasciite plantaire' or 'aponevrose'. In a word my FOOT is LOOSE!
Let's get back on our feet now...
Yeah, Scott, the rear access panel is small, although it will certainly look so much bigger when compared to the model 0611 with its little inspection hatches.
Most probably, barcoboy. I concur. The Hoovers # 0519 and 0632 belong to the same 1970s generation and there are some similitudes in their outlook and 'mechanics'.
As you can imagine I regret a lot sometimes the fact that I had to sell that baby.

Wishing You Well unclejohn!!!
Sorry to hear of your painful issues and wish you safe and speedy recovery.
If I may ask, seeing the pics you posted, why did you sell that model of Hoover instead of one of the three or four 'similar' models you had from that one?
Just curious after seeing your neat pics.
And I only recently saw some pics of how small the access panels were on older model Hoovers, so I see your point.
Take good care of yourself and rest up!

Well I Never......
A Hoovermatic with a Filter-Flow system, would never have dreamed it..!!
If this machine is a Rinse-O-Matic where does the cold fill hose connect?

Hi chestermikeuk!
If I hadn't seen one myself I wouldn't have ever imagined it either.
It is so SIMPLE a design and yet, I wonder why it was not featured on more models and/or much earlier models.
The water temp. is still controlled manually from the faucet/tap by the user.
The "Rinse-O-Matic" is the same as the rinsing system on the British "Hoovermatic" version of this style/model of machine.
There's a brief showing of it in my 'Canadian Simplicity Washer (Video #1)' on YouTube.
I'm really excited to see mine in action once it's all fixed up and operable again.
I'll be sure to post videos of THAT machine in action I can assure you.

Ditto what Mike said
Unreal, surreal, wow, and a Hoover could really use a filter because of all the lint the impeller produces, especially when you break the rules for nasty rags and give 2 or 3 cycles of thrashing-about like I do. ;'D
Maybe Mike's wondering what I'm wondering: WHERE is the water inlet valve or port?

Thanks for the kind words
The pills DO tame a lot of the pain but i know i must be patient. The doc said if the pain do not lessen within a week or so it would be advisable to go for injections of cortisone. We'll see.
I kept the old Hoovs because these are a childhood nostalgia kind of thing, not the 'newer' model in my case. The fact that I now have three different models of the same series (051x & 061x) has also influenced my choice. BUT, to be honest, such a decision is a heart breaker. I had to let go one of my babes and, believe me, its been really difficult to see her wave 'goodbye'. Maybe one day i will find & pick up another one, who knows?
BTW, what wonderful colors for a washer that yellow!!

Ah Mickey.....
I so love ya! Your childlike fascination of things you discover through this forum is so fun and refreshing. It's so true that Hoover (or MOST twin tubs for that matter) could have used some sort of filtration system.
And as you said, so simple and yet it seems, quite effective by design.
Question for ya, you've used several types of twin tubs it seems, so have you ever used the GSW/Easy or McLary twin tub based on the British Hotpoint machine?
That machine has an actual "Filter-Flo" style filtration system and one of the most powerful TT spinners out there.
Just curious...........

unclejohn.....
I love your enthusiastic words about the colour of my machine!!!
It is quite unique, isn't it? I love that not only does somebody else out there know and understand this machine, but someone fairly "local" as well makes it kinda neat as well.
Hope your pain goes away soon. As an authorized Medical Marijuana user for arthritis, I know the pain and wish I could share some of my medication with you, but well.....
Stay well my friend, and Happy Twin Tubbin' to ya!!!!!

Unclejohn & Twin Tubber
I can't see how water gets into the Rinse -o-matic. Where is the inlet or fill port from the sink to the machine? I DO see the swing faucet, but that's not what I'm asking about.
John, hope your foot gets back in step very soon.
Scott, I'll answer you in your thread.

Hi Mickey!
''John, hope your foot gets back in step very soon.'' Thanks, Michael.
Take note that I dident care much to use the auto-rinse option on my own unit. In fact, I did not use my unit for a long period and favoured the 'semi-auto' mode (manual rinsing as with older Hoovers).
But, after all, this is a Rinse-O-Matic and someone should want to use it that way.
Seems the principle is basically the same as with the famed Hoovermatic 3314 in the UK:
(see link below)
On the 0632 -North American cousin models to the UK 3314- there is a place (which we can't see on my pictures), under the spin tub section with swivel spout, to connect the necessary hose. I see on keymatic3203's diagram the exact position of that setup (at one corner under the spin tub). If a part is missing then you are done with this automatic rinse feature. One should not attempt to improvise a do-it-yourself connection -unless a qualified technician or plumber- if water leakage or flood is to be avoided. That being said, fitting a good replacement piece there shouldnt be too much of a problem either. Perhaps some of our fellow colleagues on AW could further explain that particular kind of setup from a tech viewpoint with more insignt.

HOOVER 3314L HOSE CONNECTION
Could another 3314L owner help me with the inlet hose connection please. A photo of how the hose connects to the spin can would be awesome. There appears to be a hole where the hose goes in the spin can. The hole also has a tiny shiny bit on it. Thanks so much.

Hoovermatic 3314....
Heres the UK Hoovermatic 3314 twintub with hose arrangements, the fill hose is a similar hose to the drain and comes out of the back of the washer to connect to the tap...
I`m wanting more info and pics on the Hoovermatic Filter Flow, cant believe it hasnt surfaced before over the last ten years.....I wonder if they where using the old style tubs up? do you know if it ever appeared on the later plastic tub models..

Thanks, Mike
Was always so entranced by the "Looking Glass" tub that I never noticed there's no fill port & valve on the deck like the North American models. Cool that these things fill from behind, more "automatic."
Psyched, Mike by the filter flo, too, but what's going on in the Frigidaire TT with the reicrculation.
Do you or any of the lads have a GM Frigi, or an Operator's Manual? Check TwinTub Tubbin Now's thread, if you get a chance. Thanks.

It looks to me ....
Like the rinse hose may simple have been disconnected. Looking at the pics of the rear of the machine it looks like there might JUST have been room for another hose and teh clips look big enough to also accomodate another hose.
Looking at the workings in reply 17 you can clearly see the water solenoid spin control

recirculation - who knew?
Amazing for a Hoovermatic to have this - i wondered what that black box thing on the yellow machine was for. And just an easy idea too, re-utilising existing Hoover as the single tubs and early Hoovermatic models used exactly this method to empty the drum. looks like a mod to try on a UK machine sometime
