Mend Hoover Pressure Washer Currently

how can i get more water pressure into machine?

I have a Hoover 800ORLD 8.0kg washer, it currently takes 2.5 hours to do 1 load on a regular wash. the water trickles in. The hose pipes to the machine itself have a small opening .i was wondering if this has anything to do with it, and would it be possible to modify these?

turn off the hose taps, remove hoses and check the plastic filters in the valve inlet connection. You will need a pair of thin pliers to grip the filter tab and pull it out. Clean any debris off with a toothbrush, rinse and reinstall in valve. Check the cold tap and hose by turning off the tap and disconnecting the hose from the machine, hold it over the sink or bucket and turn the tap on just a fraction to start with to see if water is getting through, if it is then open it up a bit more to make sure it is flowing freely

What is the water pressure like on the other taps in the house? If the pressure is good then you may have a faulty water inlet valve. Sometimes they don't open fully. Try changing it. Also ask your appliance dealer if he can supply a low pressure hose. These usually have a slightly larger bore and allow a little bit more water to pass through. Check the water pressure first, if ok then change the valve. If not ok then try the low pressure hose.
