Yea i bought a new washer this time last year.
On normal settings it tries to wash a large load with something like a gallon of water.
To actually be able to fill the tub i have to set it to heavy duty which adds like 30 mins to the wash time.
I miss the machines from like 20 years ago...
I can turn a knob halfway on my washer and fill it fast.
otherwise put a diverter on the back of the washer hoses and hose the water in.
This is the EPA at its finest.
The greatest disappointment of the Trump Administration so far was forcing Pruitt out of the EPA. He was implementing a plan that would've taken a chainsaw to decades of economy-killing environmental regulations that liberals and RINO Republicans had forced on us over the years. It was more than the left could handle. They view the EPA as a liberal sanctuary regardless of who is in the White House (mostly Republicans have allowed this) and went absolutely bonkers over Scott Pruitt. He had to go.
There is actually a store near me that reconditions and resells old washing machines. My current machine is a late 80’s model Kenmore that has been reconditioned to near-new.
Sad part is the store’s owner has told me that eventually the supply of old pre-regulation machines to rehab is going to dry-up and he’ll be forced out of business.
