How does the Water Aid recirculation system work?

Control of the water flow from the inner washbowl to the 
outer bowl has been achieved through the redesign of the 
washbowl drain holes.

the outer bowl the water level will increase in the inner 
washbowl to the correct height for your wash. 

Inner washbowl design

The design of the inner washbowl is the most apparent 
change to your washing machine.

Gone are the hundreds of drain holes normally seen in 
the washbowl. These have been replaced with a few slot 
shaped holes inside teardrop shaped indentations arranged 
evenly around the washbowl wall. The number and design 
of the drain holes control the flow of water from the 
washbowl to the outer bowl.

This washing machine features many wash program options 
allowing you to select exactly the right combination for each 
wash load to clean and care for your clothes.
Additionally, when you choose to use Eco rinse with the new 

TECHNOLOGYå7ATERå!IDåRECIRCULATIONåSYSTEMåINåTHISåWASHINGå

machine, considerable water savings can be made.

rinse is selected for you to help you save money and to 
reduce the impact on the environment. You can select 
Deep Rinse for your first wash load if you wish.

If you have previously used a top load agitator type washer, 
you need to know that your new washer works differently.
This washer uses much less water per load of washing and 
does it through two new technologies.
1.   

Water Aid Recirculation system

 – In most wash and 

deep rinses the recirculation system is active and a 
recirculation pump runs to keep water at a low level in 
the outer bowl, and at a correct level in the washbowl. 

Water Aid recirculation saves 33% of wash and 

deep rinse water.

However, to give better wash results for some types 
of loads, soil levels and detergent combinations, some 
programs do not have the recirculation system active 
in the wash stage, and some programs do not have 
the recirculation system active in both the wash and 

DEEPåRINSEåSTAGESåSEEå7ATERå!IDåRECIRCULATIONåSYSTEMå

active programs on page 7.) Savings in water usage are 
realised whatever your load size. Load sensing coupled 

WITHåTHEå7ATERå!IDå3YSTEMåENSURESåTHATåONLYåTHEåCORRECTå

amount of water required is used. The machine senses 
the load size and adjusts the amount of water required 
while continuing to keep water at a low level in the outer 
bowl.

2.   

Eco rinse 

is available as the preferred rinsing option. It is 

done by spraying water on the clothes, spinning the water 
out and repeating this sequence four more times. Deep 
rinse is available but the clothes are fully submerged in 
rinse water before draining and final spin. Eco and deep 
are both effective at removing detergent. In this washer,

Eco rinse saves 75% of the deep rinse water

 used in 

a traditional top load agitator machine and is not designed 
for use with fabric conditioner.
