Question

In what three ways can water be extracted from washing machines?

Answer 1

1. Spinning: When the drum spins at a high speed (about 300 rpm or more), centrifugal force throws the water out of the clothes, and the water is pumped down the drain.
2. Bottom-drain: In machines with perforated tubs, the water drains out through the bottom at the end of the wash and rinse phases, and then the tub spins to remove the remaining water from the clothes.
3. Combination of bottom-drain and spin: In some machines, bottom draining occurs during the spin period without stopping, so water and heavy dirt are removed continuously through the bottom while spinning.
