Thanks for the links. I HATE when companies use non-describing descriptors for settings. For example the names of the bottom 4 settings of the dial. I have to check the manual just to get a basic idea of what the cycle does because the name says nothing...... Stupid, IMO. But check it I will.
---------------------------------
The world's supply of potable water is slowly decreasing. Like the methods of Covid-19 transmission this is not open for debate, feeling, belief, view, etc. It's the same thing that applies when one concocts the fantasy that an adapter and a converter are the same thing..... and then proceeds to plug a 120v American curling iron (with only an adapter) into a 240v outlet in a hotel bathroom in Norderstedt, Germany --> hair melts. There are no perspectives. True story, btw.
Given that, those pesky laws of physics things still insist on rearing their heads. Under a given set of washing conditions, X amount of water can hold Y amount of suspended dirt, Y reached in Z amount of time. If the wash time is shorter then Z, not all dirt will be extracted from the clothing. If Z is longer than Y, that's minutes wasted.
The advantage of a FL is that there isn't one wash/rinse cycle, but multiple. With each cycle being shorter, the chances Z occurring after Y are reduced. Since each cycle in a FL uses less water than a TL, one can have multiple fill/drain and still use less water than a TL.
