It certainly would be a good machine compared to everything else on the market. The one improvement that could be made is to down size the oversized outer tub that was originally designed for the old solid tub models. It really was a complete waste of water for no reason other than GE being too cheap to modify the tooling.

What if they were able to pull it off? What if they made an HE filter flo? |

Wasn't the outer tub on Filter-Flos fixed to the cabinet? It seems to me like they would have to change that part of the design to make a dent in water consumption. |

The original design used overflow for the FilterFlo process ... the inner solid tub filled and overflowed enough to maintain the pumped flow during agitation. The filter didn't function on less than a full fill. That was "fixed" with the change to a perforated inner basket but the outer tub size and construction was not changed ... it's large enough for the inner basket to oscillate inside of it during spin, which is the cause of the large water usage. The whole thing is pretty much the full opposite of the HE concept. |

This is what the GE filter-flo should look like, but with a much bigger tub if it was able to make a comeback. CLICK HERE TO GO TO GELaundry4ever's LINK |
