Have you any idea when the water is heated up to 60 degrees because as yet it hasn't done it

I only have to use 115g Ariel per load compared to hard water just under 200g per load. That is probably why I find the tablets a lot dearer I also buy in bulk from Costco £13 for a box that lasts about 100 washes
Yes our water is very hard here
and yet go 1/2 hour down the motorway to the dragon-in-laws 
and her water is really soft!

Its okay Carole - found out the heater is working okay - the glass at the front was really hot last night after about 10-15 minutes of it being on.
I still think I prefer the hot and cold fill washers though that just take the hot water from the water tank in the loft - I read on another forum that these cold fill ones are a lot more expensive to run and their electric had gone up £200 a year since having one
Its about time manufacturers gave us the choice of what we want instead of just telling us what we have got to have

Mine takes just over an hour I think unless I use the superwash at 60 degrees which takes about 2 hours.
Has your machine got a 50 degrees on Carole because mine hasn't - and this was the one that I used the most as well. I have to either wash at 40 or 60 now

i have an LG washer we got last year and i use the tablets and have no problems - no idea whether its cold fill or whatever though ?? how would i know?
the only problem I had with it is a suspicious looking tooth shaped nick in the door rubber which cost me £30 for a new seal and a very frustrated husband who spent two days trying to get it on !!!!
