Did you know that the hoses on a clothes washer use the same threads as a garden hose?
You did? Well, you are pretty smart. I had to actually figure it out.
Since I already moved my old washer onto the back porch, to make room in the laundry for the new one, it isn't hooked up to test for power and water usage. If only I could run it with a garden hose!
You can! Just connect your garden hose to the washer hose to the washer. Fits right on. Then turn on your garden hose spigot and activate the washer!
The top-loading washer used 35 or 40 gallons. I sort of lost track while I was frantically emptying five gallon buckets.
The top-loader also used .20 KWhrs of electricity.
