Yah, some of that HE stuff is crap. When hitting google to troubleshoot the "new" machine a lot of people complained online that they don't use enough water to get all the suds out or the machine always smelled musty as some dirt was left in them from not enough rinse water to carry it all out. Seemed like a pretty easy fix to me while enjoying dollar beers one night at the VFW. Simple, cheap, and it works.

I've never figured out the reasoning behind lo flo shower heads. Every time we travel and stay at a motel with em it just takes the wife that much longer to get all the shampoo/conditioner out of her hair. So less water means a longer shower....

 She has pretty thick hair though, some English, Scottish and Indian makes for a head of pretty luxuriant hair. At home with the massaging shower head a drill bit does wonders on that silly little restrictor.

Yep... my dad (plumber) taught me exactly how to "pre-treat" those stupid restrictor plates. 

btw- Creative water jetting makes an awesome EGR gas blocker....  :o ^-^
