Love the GE Filter Flo. That's a great idea, I used to save the water from my Frigidaire front loader and reuse it in my My Frankentag top loader.

When I was growing we always hung clothes outside when the weather was nice. I loved the smell of sheets and pillow cases after they hung out all day.

Yep, hanging out on a sunny day is great. However, stuff comes out much softer from the dryer. I always dry towels in the dryer. On the line they go quite hard and abrasive. Good to have both options.

*Thanks for sharing* Back in the 80s, when I had electric water heating, I did suds transfers. I also routed the rinse water from my KDS14 into my top loaders. I did run the water through a strainer to catch the little food particles which would sometimes be in the first rinse. The three rinses would fill the Frigidaire WCI58 about 2/3s full of 150F hot water. I now have gas water heating. Before I switched almost exclusively to front loaders, I used to transfer suds between the Maytag, GE & KA washers. I also have a sump pump in a 30 gallon plastic trash can to pump the rinse water out onto the yard. I can even put the Miracle Gro in the container before the rinse water drains into it then run outside and move the hose from plant to plant to feed them.

Thanks for your videos I like the way you transfered the suds.

*Laundry Room* Hello Simon, great space you have there and a good collection of machines for the start of your collection", nice to see the Wilkins Service and the Zanussi IZ, I guess the GE is the original Filterflow, just need to find that Galamatic now... Enjoy, Mike
