You saw the big hole
in the center of the lower arm that powers the upper arm. I think the collander broke up the wide gush into jets because the upper rack stuff came out clean. Lots to learn, and I WILL run it open for you on the deck pretty soon. I wonder how high it will shoot and how far an area it will cover. I remember when Pete rigged a Hydro-sweep KA Iron Arm in his pond.

Hello. Sweet. Big. Saint. Al. Of. Utah. Have no fear.
Did you see these pix in the link? I have so many notes on the performance and the Imperialism of this maagnificent machine, but my favorite Chemistry teacher, who broke so, so, so horribly bad, meets his fate in 10 minutes. Must get Bourbon & Soda, dark chocolate, and cheddar cheese & crackers all lined up. mmmm.mmmm.mmmm.

At least Jesse made it out of hell.
Back to Work ~
Vaclover ~ There is an ancient iron 2 arm lawn sprinkler that works like the bow tie impeller, fast and furious. We'll have to check for extant archival footage to see if we have the bow tie in motion. Mine had both arms; check thru the pix. Thanks for the back up, Tom. Bob ~ You can enjoy the vicarious quintessential serendipity as soon as I learn how to upload vids from iphone to Youtube. Probably easy, just haven't mastered it yet. Eugene and Tom ~ I hope to be measuring the jets this week. Re: KA's negation: they've never met the men and women of Automatic Washer. Al ~ The octopus eyes in the main arm looked so familiar, and I didn't know why. Depending which outlet I use, the lights have blinked when the pump cycles on. Scary power. You said this pump was only around for a year or so. Robert, Eugene, and Bob ~ Thanks. With me, it's all about sharing the excitement. Wanting to give what I have. Al & Robert ~ I read the ephemera, and there is no mention of heating during wash or rinse. My 88 WP doesn't mention heating either, but John said it does, and I had a suspicion that somehow it was heating. I wonder if the Supreme 80 is heating at all during the wash or final rinse. Intend to test it with a thermometer. Have you guys who know this machine sensed any heating of the water? For All ~ If you load the DW haphazardly and all helter-skelter the way I do, but don't stack the cupboards that way--(smiles), Who Does ??-- the upper rack provides a very handy organizer/holding tray for unloading. Also, unloading the upper rack happens at a comfortable chest-high level which is very convenient.

From the notes ~ Advantages ~ The TL moves around the floors with great ease, while the old FL and the new FL, both Whirlpools, are not as fleet of feet, and I don't know why. Were the earlier wheels better made? The lid pops open and glides upward, almost pneumatically, allowing for noticeable ease of loading, exceptional in my limited experience. The most user-friendly and self-rewarding of dushwashers such that there are no dishes, etc, laying around the sink or anywhere else. You WANT to load the items immediately. A welcome breakthrough in my "housekeepink!" (said really fast and funny in a female accented voice) The purges, which I've seen referenced here many times but are new to me, fascinate. At the end of each short drain period, the water comes in while the pump stays on, flushing out the first couple cups of the inflow. They last only a few seconds. The discharge port is more focused and efficient than its younger cousin; no squirting and splashing up the small sink in the wet bar. So nice. Disadvantages ~ The cord is short. Haven't ascertained if it is a stuck reel-up--sometimes the cord gives a little tug and yank when I pull the plug--or just one of those things, a styling anomaly. You can't pile up crap all over the top of the dishwasher because it will fall all over the floor when you pop the hood. "This is uhhhh....... ummmm.... AY .... HOAX" ~ Chris Farley. Judgment ~ So hooked, I may never front load again. This post was last edited 10/01/2013 at 00:15 | ||

Thank You, Al
The water just seemed hotter and steamier when I opened the machine the other day. Do you have any idea of how grateful I am for this bliss? My whole kitchen routine has changed. Ironically, the built-in dead Tappan at the other end of the kitchen is very far from the tank, while the wet bar is directly above the it--hottest water in the house.
How did you ever even THINK both machines would fit into the cube. It is 49 inches square--er cubed. You're the first guy I know who managed to You Crate 2 machines in one cube. Word to the wise for future shipping especially for the many, big dishwasher guys on board. I think about you and send gratitude and every day. I hope something amazing comes your way soon. | ||
