High water might be less wearing ?
Actually using high water levels could be less wearing on the bearings . If you think about it, the clothes are suspended in the water being sloshed around rather than being a big heavy wet ball that has to be hauled around the drum.
There would certainly be less shock on the bearings.
However, it can mean you need a tougher motor as the drum would definitely provide a more constant resistance to push against as the paddles move through the water.
