Hand Washing Machines

Gee I hope you don't tip the washing water in or near that beautiful river......

Wayne, Woolwash theoretically doesn't need rinsing.
If you have the time and the extra water, fine, but no real need to rinse after Woolwash.
We use it in a 20ltr bucket with agitating paddles stolen from a Hard rubbish w/machine.

A more efficient plunger can be simply made from a large funnel - about 75% the dia of the a 20 litre bucket. I attached ours to a 1 metre irrigation riser with a tee piece screwed on as a handle. Drill a variety of holes, larger at the bottom and smaller towards the top of the funnels cone.

You may have to slit the discharge end of the funnel to accommodate the 19mm riser pipe. I then fixed ours with "No More Nails' and riveted it in place. Been good for 8 years now.

This system will create huge turbulence with little plunging effort. Same system as was used in early washing machine models - saw one recently in a museum.

John and Lynne,

Something for the well equipped Troopy...!

That's just the thing! And not too big or heavy. We are still looking! Lynne

Mine is also a GPS with lane assist!

My travelling mate Scotty has the best bush washing machine available. Capable of up to five loads in an afternoon although wash quality does drop off towards sunset. We noticed a high pitched whine coming from it on this trip but managed to lubricate it with wine. Usually very low maintenance, just on occasional back rub accompanied with words of encouragement and a glass of Baileys at the end of the wash cycle. Here's a photo.





Oh I just wait for this topic to come up. Pity it's only every couple of years or so. ;-)
