Thank you muddy_water and poolguynj. I guess I'll brush the ends by hand until things warm up. In California, an extra kilowatt hour costs 44 cents, so the booster pump costs me around $350 a year to run (we have electric bills with "brackets", like the income tax). I'm wondering whether to buy a Legend II and shut off the booster, next time something breaks.

Some of the problems with cold water people out there in the world is they see stains disappear using cool or tempered cold..many stains will be shifted..so they think Great cold water really does clean my clothes. I don't think many in the world give a thought to body oils. Weve had people come in here asking why their sheets and pillowcases have turned yellow, remember the person that was going out to buy multi colored sheets in order to hide the yellow? As for smell, a fox may smell his own hole first but humans don't, check out the laundramats those people throw handfuls of dryer sheets in the dryer and dump the FS in the washer, WHY, they want their clothes to smell clean..there's two reasons for this either they associate perfumed clothing to clean, which many do, including some people here, or they are covering something up..I think much of the time its both. cold water will not clean your textiles, just because it removed a stain does not mean the clothes are clean. Body oils come out easily in hot water but if washed in cold will build up in the fibers turning to wax...melt a candle on a garment than wash ut in cold..wash it in hot and you begin to see it melt..you all know this but someone new may not. Our mothers and grandmothers did not wash in cold, they knew more than many people out there that was a poor laundry practice....there are a lot of people, intelligent people that someone has convinced use a coldwater detergent and your clothes will be clean and your saving energy....and on top of it there's no mention of how they are damaging their machines. No I don't wash in cold or even cool, I don't care what someone else does..I value clean clothes. You had to get me started on cold water..lol

@mamapinky0, I have Two Verisons. One is a incredibly old (powder) bottle from the U.K., while another was made in Hungary and somehow didn't make it overseas :p I found it at a Oillies outside of D.C. In the 'Burbs. :) Really like the stuff. Like you said, no extra suds, contains enzymes and a ton of oxygen bleach. Plus... It has a really good whitening system. :) Wonderful Stuff!!!! :)

I would be curious to know, myself.
