1. No, GELaundry, the arms seem to run at consistent speed and pressure upon a full fill charge.
2. Lakewebster, correct me if I'm wrong; Bosch pleats their metal mesh filter cup? I wonder if that pleating may inhibit some of the self cleaning water turbulence. What I've noticed helps a lot in the WP Global Wash is the pump inlet is baffled, preventing direct suction against the screen. The GE layout currently in use, has the pump inlet un-shrouded, directly sucking against the screen. Dirt would collect there all the time, and never really release during multiple drain sessions.
3. The discussion on full rinses vs. purges and light splashes is interesting. I've now had direct experience with two brands displaying the differences of both techniques.
The GE would do all full pre and post rinses. In fact, at times it would do as many as FIVE pre-rinses.
The KA will do far less full rinses, but it does a lot of purges and "splashy" partial fill rinses.
I'm not sure if it comes down to filter system efficiency?
Because KA has pulled off the feat of rinsing off more silt with less resources than the GE ever did with far more water.
Maybe those purges get rid of a lot of residual silt and soil, preventing it from circulating around in all those full rinses?
