If you have previously used a top load agitator type washer, you need to know that your new washer works differently. This washer uses much less water per load of washing and does it through two new technologies.
1.Water Aid Recirculation system – In most wash and deep rinses the recirculation system is active and a recirculation pump runs to keep water at a low level in the outer bowl, and at a correct level in the washbowl.
Water Aid recirculation saves 33% of wash and deep rinse water.
However, to give better wash results for some types of loads, soil levels and detergent combinations, some programs do not have the recirculation system active in the wash stage, and some programs do not have the
recirculation system active in both the wash and deep

Savings in water usage are realised whatever your load
SIZEå,OADåSENSINGåCOUPLEDåWITHåTHEå7ATERå!IDå3YSTEMå ensures that only the correct amount of water required is used. The machine senses the load size and adjusts the amount of water required while continuing to keep water at a low level in the outer bowl.
2.Eco rinse is available as the preferred rinsing option. It is done by spraying water on the clothes, spinning the water out and repeating this sequence four more times.
Deep rinse is available but the clothes are fully submerged in rinse water before draining and final spin. Eco and deep are both effective at removing detergent. In this washer, Eco rinse saves 75% of the deep rinse water used in a traditional top load agitator machine and is not designed for use with fabric conditioner.

Inner washbowl design
The design of the inner washbowl is the most apparent change to your washing machine.
Gone are the hundreds of drain holes normally seen in the washbowl. These have been replaced with a few slot shaped holes inside teardrop shaped indentations arranged evenly around the washbowl wall. The number and design of the drain holes control the flow of water from the washbowl to the outer bowl.
