Using the rinse water presumes: 1- No chemicals used in the rinse. 2- No LCB left from washing whites. 3- Someone turns the valve to save the rinse water after the wash water has been dumped form the tank. |

I wouldn't want that beast of a water tower sitting on my washer. Just bring back the standard suds-saver! Nearly every brand offered one in the 50's, 60's and early 70's. I realize not everyone has the space or plumbing for a storage tub/sink, but if companies offered a suds-saver on at least one or two models, I'll bet it would sell. I'd buy one. I grew up with a suds-saving 1960 Kenmore, and my mom saved many thousands of gallons of water over the life of that workhorse. But....I suppose it's just easier to buy an uber-efficient front-loader. The new LG's use less than 20 gallons of water to clean a huge load. Hard to beat that. |

That's a 70's Speed Queen gas dryer - small, plug door on the front (probably a foot pedal opening) and the panel looks like a lighted top. That man in the video has plenty of room for another washer next to his Kenmore, no need for any tanks or valves. Move the drain hose from one into the second washer and then back to the drain. Save wash or rinse water, whatever you desire and use it as many times as you like. Laundry would be done faster than with one machine if you re-used the wash water as well. A simple submersible pump in a clean garbage can would suffice for this use, probably cheaper as well! |

cause their PCB have extra USB/other ports to manage chemicals pumps, printer and these watersaver (they DON'T save suds but interim rinse water) |

...so here you are a pic of the catalogue which circulated on these pages several months ago, I remember it was a Louis' picture. I'm strong convinced it has got the "sliding outer tub" either...:DD |
