WP's first Resource Saver washers gave very good rinsing for a spin rinse. They not only sprayed water on the clothes, but they also partially filled and used one of the two way valves to recirculate the water onto and through the spinning laundry. Then the two way valve would switch from recirculate and drain out the sudsy water. The machine would spin some and then repeat the process two more times. The WP catalyst washer proved that the wash solution can penetrate laundry in an excellent manner if it is forced through the fabrics by spinning the tub and having the spray aimed so that it hits the load right. I always use one of those garden watering devices that breaks the force of the water into soft gentle "rain." Water spraying through one of these does not bounce off the laundry, even at high spin speeds because I angle the spray so that it hits the spinning clothes in the direction they are spinning and more from the side than the top of the tub. Like in a Maytag spinning counter clockwise, the spray is introduced moving from right to left so that it is spun into the clothes.
John had customers who were very satisfied with the first Resource Savers, but when they were cheapened to just spray rinses, he would not sell them. The F&P method of slowing down the spin speed during the spray rinses makes a lot of sense which, I guess, is why it came from a company outside of the United Corporations of America. Here greed and stupidity have replaced innovation, engineering and progress, except when progress means progressively cheaper quality and progresively larger corporate profits.
