I'd rather see a washer that can do high-tech filtering/purification of its wash and rinse water so it can be reused, perhaps just replacing a gallon or so for each load. We'd still have fun, splashy washers to use and we'd dramatically slash water use.

I'm not at all convinced the air washer will go very far. We will look back on it as an anomaly on the technological highway. You know, like Laser Discs.

This is goofy

I can't stand the whole "we need to save water" bit.

There is no shortage of water. Perhaps what Malaysia should do is add more seawater processing plants to their mix. Water, formed and usable naturally from say, springs or mountains, may be in short supply in some areas that don't have mountains and springs, but there is no "water shortage". Water never leaves the planet, it just changes its form. Now, heavy use in some areas may demand more expensive processing or transport of it, but that's life.

This reminds me of people who are always spraying come cr@p on their clothes or hin their homes to "clean" them. I see these commercials, and I just say to the lazy housewives (why do they always show women as the cleaners) "get off your lazy butt and either wash the clothes or clean out the garbage, whatever is making your house stink!" instead of spraying junk into the air.

I don't mind people using air to clean their smelly clothes-- as long as I don't have to stand next to them!

ok there is my rant for the day

kevinpreston8...YOU ARE RIGHT!

I hate those sprays either and the lazyness of who use them, instead of clean up as the "right" way!

Good!

Of course, water never will go away from earth, but either it's true that some areas are "rich" of water while some others are "poor"...

People should use their brains to find solutions for problem instead to use it to think alwasy to power&success...

GoodNight now...

Problem solved. OK send me a (good) check for USD 5,000,000

Burn garbage.
(Scrub the stack to keep the air clean)
Make steam.
Distill water directly (and/or produce electricity).

Condense the steam back in to water (to be able to re-introduce it into the boiler(s) by usign a heat exchanger. Give neighbors to the plant *free* heat.

Voila. C'est fait.

If it really were like you make it easy, Steve...

I appreciate your effort, but we ALL should do what you said...
And even if we did it...what about governemt role?
What about the awful amount of money the proliticians bring ever month (I don't know how it works there, but here people don't considere it right!), "commisioned" (as people elected them) to do just what you dit AND THEY DON'T!!! I payed you to solve problem, if there wouldn't be none already payd to do the same )

I want to tell you this, did you know that Merloni's washers are produced (here in ITALY!!!) with both hot/cold inlet valve and are sold in UK ONLY?!?!? And here, if you put the solar boards system (here! not in Swiss where there are more solar system than here!), it would be very very useful to you to have a washer connectable to the hot water to, but you can't?!?!? You look on the bottom of your washer, you see the place to put the second valve... but try to find it out?!? THERE'S NOT HOT WATER INLET VALVE TRADING HERE!
That's to explaine you that in the world many absurdity like that exist...

Thus, sorry if I allow to say that, I maybe wrong but the problem wouldn't exist if you could solve it so easy...

Good Bye

hot & cold fill

Diomede,

Cold fill washers are actually better than hot & cold - firstly because stains are washed out better and aren't set if you start a wash from cold and heat it, and secondly that with the little amount of water used in the mainwash all most frontloading washers use from a hot supply is actually the water that has been resting in the pipes so it's pointless in having a hot fill tap on a washer, if all it's going to be supplying to the dispenser is cool or lukewarm water.

So it's not an absurbity - just common sense IMO.

Jon are you still here?

Jon, you're right...

It's true what you say about removing stains better with cold water starting wash (and it's better for dark color safe too!) and it's true too that you would only use the water in the pipeline with such low amount of water that now the most FL washers use...

but so why the possibility to do something everywhere and do it only somewhere? That was the point of the second inlet valve discussion I did... I have no problem with no-one...of course

Then for pipline water using only, you could make some water run in the sink as just I saw telling you to do on an american DW manual, which was connected to the hotwater line, and if you put the washers near the storage hot water tank...well they would be only "some metres" of cold water then )

Peace, Love and WASHERS!
