Robert,
What are you using for a lint filter?

This is the cool part about strong recirculation...

Here is the interesting part, I'm using Suds to act as a lint filter. Originally I had planned on using a lint filter from a Whirlpool combo, but after playing with the machine a while I realized I didn't need one. Since the recirculation is so very strong anything that floats is overflowed up and out, so as soon as there is a nice thick layer of suds in the outer cabinet, the pet hair and lint float on top of the suds layer and do not make it back into the recirculation. When the cabinet drains through the electric drain pump, it pumps away all the water, suds and whatever schmootz that was sitting on the layer of suds. The port for the recirculation is slightly higher up than the port for the drain pump so any heavier than suds/water grit that does end up in the outer tub sits below the level of the recirculation return hole and only gets into the drain pump hole.
When I'm market this machine I'm going to have a big sticker on it saying "For Best Results use less expensive High Sudsing Detergent Only!!!".

Nope that was my first video of the Super Unimatic. I will add more videos when I work on the machine is a few months. The prewash segment (my 4 Minutes of Magic cycle) is my favorite where the washer blasts the clothes spinning from 1140rpm coasting down to 200rpm with a high concentration of water/detergent from the recirculation pump. That cycle is very splashy and fun to watch/hear.

This is such a cool machine to play with - I love that the computer interface allows you to "dial push"until you're heart's content.
And the "filtering through suds" combined with the "sump" for heavier soil & sediment really does work. One of the best cycle for white clothes ever!
