Hi,
We thought we would do the right thing and try using washers that recycle water. That was a BAD IDEA. First of all, the owners hated the idea that their wash water was someone else’s rinse water. Many of the owners decided to use a traditional Laundromat down the street instead and our income recovers has been less than breakeven. Then the tanks that held the recycled water began to smell and so did the clothes. We did end up saving water but for all of the wrong reasons. This has been both a financial loss and a public relations loss for us.
Also, please be sure that you washing machines offer longer cycle times. One of our giant machines offers a 34 minute cycle time which is too short to get the clothes clean.
Be sure you understand what you are getting in a washer

Finally, be careful, the LG commercial product line appears to be new: http://www.coinmachservicecorp.com/news/lg_new_commercial_line.pdf
