In the event of excessive foam my Indesit built Hotpoint used to drain, tumble slowly, then perform a slow spin. It also added two low level emergency rinses to the cycle in order to rid the foam! |

Funny your Hotpoint does that... my Hoover does exactly the opposite: it does high water lever rinses to dilute the high concentration of detergent rather than low water level ones as you suggested. Once the foam is gone (at least from the sump), it will resume doing low water level rinses.
I think it's only fair to use more water to rinse out more detergent, the low water level might deceive you into thinking that the foam is gone but I would feel that it just died out within the fibres of the clothes. I might be wrong :-P For this purpose I carried out an experiment once and I almost tripled the dosage of detergent (Ariel Excel Gel). I filmed it and posted it on YT... feel free to watch it... link below. Bye :-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO Haxisfan's LINK |
