How many loads a week are you doing? With all things relative, unless you're doing 20-30 full loads of laundry a week, I think the watering of your garden, hot tub water, and topping off your swimming pool would use a heck of a lot more water and the laundry would be small potatoes in relative comparison.

I have a 2017 9-Series and use the Normal/Eco cycle frequently. As John mentioned, fill it with warm or hot wash water using the Heavy Duty (or other) cycle. When agitation begins, power down the washer, then select the Normal Eco cycle. It’s an extra step, but I don’t particularly care to wash most loads in what amounts to cold water. If you generally wash in cold water, the extra step isn’t needed.
If you’re washing a full capacity, heavily soiled load with a large dose of detergent, you may not want to use Normal/Eco; otherwise I’ve found no problems with rinsing and it does save a lot of water. Almost as good as having a suds-saver. |

I've not once had the courage to use Normal Eco to wash my own clothes, however others in the house have used it and it seems to do fine. My biggest gripe is the cold wash. |
