Bleach for disinfecting and Foca or Roma detergent to get things clean. One has enzymes, the other does not. Get the one with Enzymes. Just make sure that the detergent and bleach are not added at the same time so they each have time to work. For whatever it's worth, I think this might be a good use for about a 50 foot Maytag E2LPS. I had a cat while I lived in Savannah. When I moved, I had to leave her with my now former housemate. My cat is well cared for and my former housemate loves her and cares for her well, but I still miss my kitty every day. She was adopted from a shelter and was a very sweet. well-behaved, and affectionate cat. Keep it clean and ADOPT PETS, Dave Sorry about the picture size. I haven't installed the picture shrinking tool on my new computer yet. |

My Primus machine has terminals on the back for an injection system. |

Is it possible that the machine has a usage or operating hours counter, in which it will cease to function when the machine has exceeded the preset value? |

I was able to download the UniMac Users Guide from Alliance Laundry Systems. Nowhere in the manual do they discuss the door locking issue. So I am going to have them call the vendor tomorrow. A 4 day old machine shouldn't be doing this. BTW, the machine is a 60lb capacity. |

Here is the photo of the washer. Sudsman, you were absolutely correct, the white button must be pressed at the same time as the red button and held until you hear the lock open. It's a two handed operation. The white button isn't really marked, just a circle next to it. |

And here is the dryer. Sure enough, nobody checked the lint filter, it was totally clogged! The location is marked by a label and a warning to frequently clean it! |

A good loading guide is if when the load is wet and washing during the pauses between reverse the load should be about 1"below the top of the glass window. Will post a pic later |

I say that might be why the adoption center got those kind of machines, so they can stand up to the abuse of such incompetent ADULTS. LOL |

Many hotels, restaurants, catering establishments, linen services and the rest use polyester or more often a polyester and cotton blend for table and even bed linens. Called "no iron" or minimal iron, these linens in theory are supposed to be eaiser to launder and not require the heavy ironing of pure linen or cotton items. Because they are "easy care" such linens supposedly spend less time at the laundry, and can be turned around faster. L. |

Ah, thank you Laundress. So the "Visa Wash" cycle is probably a short cycle or one with a cool down? That sounds about right. I had never heard the term before, so now I know. |

Lots of water, plus good lift and drop action. To this add pumps or gravity drains that aren't bothered by tons of water pouring out at once, which means the machine will spin out dirty water between rinses. IIRC, the Feds haven't gotten their mitts on commercial washing machines when it comes to energy and or water consumption, though local governments are another matter. This leaves commercial front loaders free to use enough water to get the job done. The only restrictions are perhaps by owners seeking to lower energy/water costs. |

Much time is spend in many models pfaffing around trying to balance a laod for spinning (or not), and so forth. Commercial machines have none of that. With bearings, and heavy duty construction, they go into spins regardless and the pumps or dump drain can handle the water. As noted in my post above this means fouled water is spun out between rinses, and that means cleaner laundry. Commercial laundries can't be bothered tying up machines for hours just to do one load. Time is money and fast through-put is the word de jour. However results matter as well, and a machine that can deliver clean washes (with proper loading, chemcials and so on), with one cycle, means less time spent re-washing. As one has often said, while it is possible to build domestic front loaders to this standard, (Speen Queen already does), the cost is more than the average Amercian is willing to bear. Well that and because of water/energy restrictions. L. |

OK, the lint is supposed to fall off the filter onto the floor of the lint screen chamber? I only saw evidence of this one time. Usually the screen is cleaned before that happens. I'll check the exit of dryer vent as you suggested. I'll also spray the filter with anti-static spray. |
