My dishwasher and my washer are victims of the EPA and the DOE.

I need the dishwasher to let in more water to wash correctly

I need the washer to have a higher level in the tub, in order to meet guidelines

We had problems with water intrusion into the control panel and lightning surges taking out the under counter dishwashers. So we looked for a portable we could roll around and unplug during thunderstorms.

We tried a couple EU models but they were defective so had to send them back. Read up on this one and bought it.

Its impressive in how well it cleans. Better then the under-sink units by far.

I have two vermont castings wood stoves, one circa 1975 and one approx 1982. Just keep on regasketing them. I’m sure the EPA will ban those next.

I saw the inside of a cat convertor that was plugged up. Basically a block version of the screen on your window. Exactly WHAT is this supposed to be filtering??!!!


Not a filter. think afterburner. the screen heats up to further burn (oxidize).

Yes, a tablespoon of Trisodium Phosphate per load should do it. But it won’t remove spots from already spotted dishes or glasses.

They will cut the water use to a point where the sanitary mitigation of the appliance becomes useless.

The 1.27 GPF toilets are on the ragged edge for solid waste disposal already.

Next comes the reintroduction of the pestilence of the middle ages due to poor sanitation.

Its not a filter.

The monolithic sub-straight is intended to run red hot and the triangular channels are to provide surface area for the unspent fuel to finish burning. The platinum and other materials embedded in the sub-straight are to facilitate the CO to CO2 conversion.

You really can’t filter the exhaust like inlet air. The most you can do is complete the combustion cycle.

Oh, and it takes almost THREE hours to do a poor job.

Wow, and I thought my 2-1/2 hr. was bad. The same with my new clothes washing machine. Takes forever, doesn't actually clean.

When I am experiencing things like this, ya know, stuff that used to do a job and now takes twice as long not to do it, I always send a (not so polite) thank you to the environmentalists.

And, I have been asking this question forever, but have yet to receive a response: "Does having a machine that takes longer to (not) clean your items, actually save any energy? Yeah, less water; but, does it save energy, since it alway has that "Energy Efficient" tag on it?

Yeah the gaskets and or the plastic. Im not clear on exactly what happens but I’ve heard an all metal carb will work. 10 percent ethanol is supposed to work but it doesn’t. Believe it or not I taped off half the intake pipe behind the air filter and so far it is working very well; otherwise it starts and dies immediately.

So, is there a work around?

The EPA and the DOE have turned the best engineering in the world into a mess.

Ineffective and counting up their energy credits and selling products that do not work well.

Spoke with an electrician recently who advised using ONLY dimmable LED bulbs, as they have better inherent surge resistance and will last longer.

Within the last week I have had to replace three different dimmable LED bulbs. They were all installed about a year ago. At this rate I will not be saving any money.

I know what you mean. My new Maytag dishwasher cleans very poorly. The old one left the glasses sparkling clean. This one, they’re a bit cloudy and scummy. The new one says it uses only two gallons of water. So what if it doesn’t clean the dishes? Oh, and it takes almost THREE hours to do a poor job.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

My 20 year old dish washer still does a fine job, I’m hoping it lasts longer than I do.

Many major metro areas are ethanol-laced only, no such thing as ethanol free any grade let alone premium in those areas.
