How does the ball know the difference between wash/rise cycle?

Duh! Centrifugal Force, a force that causes an object moving in a circular path to move out and away from the center of its path, AND Inertia, the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion, including changes to its speed and direction. Centrifugal force and inertia during the spin cycle before the rinse cycle cause the stopper to pop out, thus releasing the downy from the ball. Shall I attach diagrams and charts??

I'm sure the ball doesn't know a thing, but when it is spinning during the spin cycle, the spinning causes the lid to release and the softener comes out of the ball and into the water as the washer refills for the rinse.

From what I read, it uses the law of physics. So basically when the rinse cycle goes really fast that's what triggers the cap to release. You can do a search on "how downy ball works" for better answers.

Ya know, I don't question the wisdom of the ball. =) I just use it and it does a great job. My clothes come out nice and soft, and that's all I need the ball to do.

No. It would have to say "rapid rise". However, this is what I use in my bread machine and there is no difference that I have ever noticed.

I have no idea. I never could find a definitive answer anywhere. Even the box doesn't state which side is up. I used mine both ways and I honestly never noticed a difference either way.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question very well, it's my sons that play the game. They just put the head piece on and then "think" whatever command to move the ball from what I can see! Hope that helps?

Comes with a white ball with shift pattern. Mine says Hurst on each side of the ball. Great shifter.

It has a sensor I think and tells you when it needs cleaning. You can also wash it off manually.

The know on the shafts controls the resistance. The levels are not marked tho. I've spun the knob and it seems fairly sensitive so my guess would be that there are many levels.

As far as I now there is no difference. I have changed mine for different water levels a couple of times. paid no attention to which is which, and everything always worked.

When the water level raises enough for the float to raise the top lever/switch , it will turn on & pump the water out of your sump. When the water level is lowered to the bottom the float descends on the rod turning the pump off. It has been a great pump. Water level up pump on, water level down pump off. Thanks B.B.

It's spring loaded. You step on the pedal and it 'ticks' a few times and then the ball pops up.

my laundromat has a pre and wash and I put the pod in the front with the cloths for the pre and in the top slot that says #2 for the wash cycle if yours has a detergent top add on the machine.Since most are a 2 or more load I use more than 1 pod.

Diagram does come with instructions. Imagine a pipe coming from the system and hung over your toilet bowl. That's all it is. The matter is ground up, think of a blender, then sent through the pipe. It ends up in the toilet bowl along with the waste water. Some toilets will automatically flush when the water level increases, others will not. If your toilet doesn't flush at the increase of water then you'll manually flush the matter down. I have mine hooked up to my washing machine waste water spot. It gets flushed into the same place the waste water from the washer goes.

The version I received *does* measure peak weight. You simply press the "Hold" button until the reading reads "L_p". Pressing the "Hold" button will cycle between "L_n" (No hold), "L-a" (Auto hold), "L_p" (Peak hold).

I have no clue. I am getting a new washer-this one was never a washing machine, takes twice as long to not do the job; they hired a musician not an engineer to make this junk.

I am certainly not an expert on HE washers but from what I've read the problem with using regular detergent in them is the amount of suds they create. This ball does not create any suds. Whatever the little beads are inside the ball causes the PH of the water to change which cleans the clothes. I am very allergic to most perfumes and this ball does not give off any scent. So that is a plus for me. If I had an HE washer I would certainly give the ball a try. From what I can tell it does not leave any kind of residue in the machine. Some people remove the ball after the wash cycle because if it is in during the rinse cycle it will wash the clothes again. Which cuts down on the number of washes you get from each ball. I don't have the time to watch my washing machine that close, so I leave the ball in during the entire wash cycle. Then I put the clothes in the dryer with a tennis ball that softens the clothes and doesn't leave a scent.

You really can't tell and the cycle takes several hours. In our case the dishwasher never dried the dishes and we had constant water remaking in bottom after each cycle. We now have a new dishwasher --not a Whirlpool! Good luck!

no indicator light....i think it cycles a ball ever 7-9 seconds. i found that using the yellow juggs balls makes alot of difference compared to the white ones. the wheels are white and it is sometimes hard for batters to pick up when the white ball sets and is about to be thrown as opposed to the yellow ball.
