I grew up playing trumpet. In college, piano became the major instrument with an emphasis in brass.
Can still play the upper brass instruments, but don't have the chops for full gigs, anymore. I primarily play keyboards, baritone, trombone, tuba and mallet percussion these days, with the occasional gig on drums.
Ongoing SQ experiments: Let machine fill with hot water; add sheets when agitation begins per mickeyd's suggestion. Then cancel and switch to Normal Eco. Get a scalding wash but save about 12-20 gallons of water depending on the initial water level setting (the wash fill is not reduced on the Normal Eco cycle).
EDIT: Filling the washer with hot water, then canceling and selecting the Normal Eco cycle worked well. Sheets are dazzling white and feel adequately rinsed. Detergent scent is no stronger than usual.
I'm beginning to re-examine my bias against the Normal Eco cycle. It won't work for loads of kitchen & personal whites due to the addition of chlorine bleach...but otherwise, it saves almost as much water as a suds-saver.
The real test will be a load of bath towels. I'll run a deep rinse at the end of the Normal cycle and see if more detergent remains than normal in very soft water. (You'll recall a couple of years ago I washed a load of bath towels in the AWN542, then reset for a 2nd deep rinse and found a fair amount of suds in the water.)
One more thing: I'm normally a "detergent first, then load, then start machine" guy. The exception from now on will be with bed sheets. Mickeyd's suggestion of letting agitation pull the sheets underwater worked perfectly. Not an air pocket in sight!
