My brother Jeff and I talked about this 25 years ago, on our design the cold water would fill through the ballast tank so it would fill automatically the first time you started the machine.
Of course Whirlpool uses plain water in the ballast rings on their TL washers for over 30 years so there is no concrete to cause extra emissions.
The world's best FL washer for home use Speed Queen uses cast iron for its ballast weight, Cast Iron will last much longer without cracking and is fully recyclable when the washer reaches the end of its life.

yes indeed it was a key part of the Reason washing machine produced 2005 but never made it into production .
The balaast tank was underneath as well as weight above , the tank filled from mains water then for wash was pumped into the drum so warming the water from cold, then repeat each fill.

V-Zug's balancing system uses water to smooth out imbalances during the spin cycle. The water is then drained into the drum to use for the rinse cycles.
