Hello,
about the topic of washing machines, where washing is done with warm or hot water.
We are speculating between using the nice soft water from the rainwater cistern (I am very familiar with this topic for professional reasons and know from numerous laboratory tests how high-quality, pure, and better rainwater is for washing before the skeptics or opponents want to say something about it *g*) which saves water, reduces repair and electricity costs due to lime-free water, protects the laundry, and washes fresher, or drawing the warm water for the washing machine from the heating warm water (geothermal heat pump).
Considering this financially and economically in terms of consumption costs. Does anyone have experience with what is more worthwhile or whether it generally makes sense to burden the hot water system with this? I think if at all, washing should only be done during the day when hardly any warm water is used by the household members.
It would be great if someone knows something about this. The [RWZ] is excluded here, as it will be installed anyway and used at least for the toilets and the garden, so only the additional line to the washing machine would have to be considered.
