The laundry is always kept damp with water and detergent, using a very efficient pump. In this way water
consumption is greatly reduced.
Further savings are achieved by washing small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is pro-
portional to the quantity of laundry being washed. This wash system allows a reduction in water, detergent and
electricity consumption.
