The cold and hot feed appliance hoses on the washing machine that was
here when I moved in don't have any filters in place, nor does a spare
cheap hose I bought the other day. I've an idea that hoses on a Bosch
machine of mine a decade or so did have silver-coloured knitted-wire
mesh filters at each end of the hose.

Am I remembering this wrong or have the moved to having the filter at
the inlet on the back of the machine now? Makes it a pain to clean
since the kick-board has to be removed and the machine pulled out.
Before, the first filter in line was easily accessible under the kitchen
sink.

Thanks, Jack.
