Lucia 40 washing machine

[gabilo]

A friend of nine installed one of these... compact and „out of the way“ hung in the heads.




Feeding hot water supply directly to the machine, therefore most of the times the washing machine does not generate hot water

Has been working perfectly for the past 2 years.

I looked at installation manual. Has own 110 power cord, inlets for hot and cold water, and a discharge hose. (same as standard washer)

Since laundry rooms are typically built with only one washer... the installation kit comes with Y hose splitters for hot, cold and discharge tube (the Y for discharge has backflow valves).

My guess is that you might be ok with this in a multi-hull... but can you imagine someone running this on a mono with it heeled to one side? I envision a hull full of bubbles.

However the LG is an interesting idea, but not what the original poster had a question about.

Shipping from South Korea, and using 220v... Sourcing in the US would be much preferable if possible.

Is there access to the forepeak from one of the heads (assuming they share a wall)? We have a larger FP cat, and that is where a washing would have been located....had my husband really thought we needed one. We do not liveaboard, however.
