I found a good idea on the site www.bysun.fr . When there is only one water supply and you want to supply your washing machine or dishwasher with hot water (solar / boiler, etc.), just install on the water supply. water a thermostatic mixer and set the desired T ° c on the mixer, depending on the wash cycle. If the water is not hot enough, the resistance of the stuffer will top up and only top up. Very simple and very practical.
I installed this about twenty years ago, it still works perfectly. You just have to be there to send cold water when rinsing, so as not to waste solar hot water.
