Unless mistaken those are SQ TR series units which were only offered in white or black. Maybe there was a time SQ did offer them in sort of "putty" color depicted in pictures?

What site did you find these on? Did you message them to at least ask for the brand, etc? |

Primus is a European laundry equipment manufacturer purchased by Alliance Laundry Systems in 2014. By 2018 ALS announced it would no longer sell Primus appliances in North America.

Jerome, you can obviously tell that these are speed queen washers, just with a different badge. So how do you think they’d agitate and operate considering they are nothing but a rebadged speed queen classic? |

I've never used a Primus before, but it's obvious it would perform the same way. The question is, how do you get it to do a deep rinse on a normal cycle if heavy duty isn't available? |

![]() Dan, these are often made for the 50 cycle market. So pump out might be slower, however, considering the literature claims 710 rpm spinning, I am guessing the pulleys are sized differently to compensate.
Jerome, the literature says 118 liters or 31.5 gallons, so I'm guessing all cycles use a deep rinse with a tub fill of about 15 gallons.
Of course, I am looking at the AU specs. DOE models probably have a spray rinse or gray water rinse on all cycles.
