AN AUTOMATIC WASHER, ESPECIALLY A HOUSEHOLD WASHER, AND A METHOD FOR HYDRAULICALLY BALLASTING A SPINNING BASKET IN AN AUTOMATIC WASHER, ESPECIALLY HOUSEHOLD ONE

摘要

An automatic washer, especially household one, having a liquid circulation circuit comprising a hydraulic ballast system, has a ballast tank (2) connected into the hydraulic system (8, 11, 12, 6, 7) filling the washer with the washing bath, said ballast tank (2) having at its outlet to the main tube (1) a separate pump (3) provided to exclusively fill the main tube (1) with fresh water or washing bath from the ballast tank (2). A method for hydraulically ballasting a spinning basket in an automatic washer, especially a household one, consists in that the ballast tank (2) filled with liquid at least when spinning the washed charge is filled optionally with fresh water from the water-pipe network or with washing bath from the main tube (1), or partially with water, and partially with bath, said filling of the main tube (1) with fresh water or washing bath is carried out exclusively via ballast tank (2).
