Honeycomb care and cat hair

[Unimatic1140]

Well I can tell you all this much...

I took this picture about 2002 when I washed our black lab Gladys' blanket that was full of her dog hair. It was washed in my first 1958 solid-tub GE Filter-Flo washer. I clearly remember not finding one hair left in that blanket lol! I didn't have an original copper pan at that time so I made one out of a 70's pan to fit that agitator.

Oh Chris I had another idea I just thought of to share with you. You could take your Pulsamatic and overfill it by about 2 gallons, the take the drain hose and put one of those drain hose filter screens on it and angle it over the tub and start it pulsating. This will cause a recirculation filtering system very similar to the GE picture I posted in the reply above this one.

You may not even need a filtering screen on the drain hose if there is a layer of suds in the outer tub. Suds also work well to capture hair and lint in the outer tub. I remember that worked quite well when I had designed that "Super Unimatic" which I incorporated a recirculation system into it.

I have little doubt all of that pet hair will float over and be caught in the screen!

recirculating filter

Yes Robert I had the same idea. Get the Pulsamatic overflow-rinsing, with the drain hose going back into the tub via a filter screen or bag. I'm busy at present, it will be a while but that's what I will do.
