Water Level

NOTE: Illustrations shown with fabric softener
dispenser. Your washer may have an agitator cap.
The water level in your washer should fit the size of
your wash load. Small loads will use lower water
levels. There must be enough water in the washtub to
allow items to move and turn over freely.
Overloading the washtub can result in poor washing
and rinsing. Overloading may also cause wrinkling
and tearing of items.
IMPORTANT: If in doubt always use a higher
water level. Most average loads will require water
setting of Large. Failure to have the correct volume
of water relative to the load will increase the
incidence of excessive lint.

Water Hardness

SOFT WATER
0 to 10 milligrams per liter
MODERATELY HARD WATER
300 milligrams per liter
HARD WATER
500 milligrams per liter
VERY HARD WATER
Over 500 milligrams per liter
Figure 6
Water hardness is measured in grains per gallon
(G.P.G.) or parts per million (P.P.M.). To learn your
water hardness, call your Water Department or State
Extension Service. Hard water will not remove soil as
well as soft water and can result in gray, dingy laundry.
To get clothes clean in hard water, use a phosphate
detergent or use more detergent if using a non-
phosphate detergent. Do not use soap.
Hard Water May Be Softened By:
1. A mechanical water softener installed in your
home.
2. The use of a packaged water conditioner.
Soft Water
Water should be soft enough to allow soaps and
detergents to remove soil effectively. Clothes will be
whiter and brighter when washed and rinsed in soft
water.
