Water level
Assuming this machine is made like my 3 year earlier Speed Queen the water level can safely go up to the point where the metal tub ends and the plastic begins. Some would call that extreme, but in so far I have not had a single problem with that. The way I see it its up to you, but I do agree filling up to the 4th row of holes is kind of low.
When all is open take pics, I'm curious if your machine has any electronics (it sounds like the Eco cycle has an ATS fill)
