As a 58-year-old man with three advanced degrees (including broadly analytic lab science - criminalistics) and thirty years of primary home laundry experience, I viewed pureWash's technology and claims with a jaundiced eye. And I've been a "quiet environmentalist" since before participating in the first Earth Day in 1970 (IMHO consistent environmental actions speak louder than the latest "Green" condemnation demagoguery). But the "ionized water" technology has been used over the last decade in institutional and commercial settings with results at least as good as typical detergent-based laundry techniques for both sanitation and cleaning.The pureWash unit presented favorably upon inspection, installation was quick and without incident, and the unit tested out as specified. Test load was four large heavy cotton bath-sized heavily soiled "dog towels". My spaniel girls, especially the young one, enjoy the wet Spring and get profoundly mucky. The test towels were loaded with dirt and muck and grass stains and filth. I normally wash and rinse warm with a well-rated scent-free liquid detergent and liquid non-chlorine bleach, both properly measured for each load. My primary goals in laundry are to sort properly, wash with the appropriate detergent, use enough detergent to reach "break point" for cleaning the laundry, and to get all the soap and dirt out of the laundry before drying. The pureWash was used without detergent or non-chlorine bleach and with cold wash and rinse. Some initial observations:* The intake water from the pureWash was actively very fresh smelling without any hint of perfume, just fresh like spring thunderstorm rain.* The wash water upon draining was filthy and smelled foul (probably because there was no masking detergent odor). There was residual soap foaming from detergent that had evidently remained in the towels from previous detergent washings.* Each subsequent rinse had progressively less smell, water discoloration and soap foaming, but it was obvious that the treated water in each rinse continued the cleaning process. Personally, I like to watch the laundry filth going down the drain.* Upon removal from the washer, the laundered towels smelled very fresh.* Upon drying, the towels appeared to eye and nose to be as clean as any of my similar detergent-washed towels. I am interested to see how their absorbency compares in actual use.Now I don't know how long my pureWash is going to last, what there is to wear out inside the device, or what long term results and reliability are going to be. But it's warrantied for a year, and it's generally during that time that manufacturing and design defects become apparent, in my experience. No PureWash wash cycle is a traditional wash cycle (no detergent issues and no water heating) and every rinse cycle is a PureWash cycle (the treated water is obviously working each rinse cycle to further clean and sanitize the laundry load). I'm really pleased and satisfied with these initial results.3/21/13 EDIT: I continue a year later to be impressed by 1) how fresh the PureWash treated water going into the washer smells and 2) how foul and sulphuric the wash water draining out of the washer smells. To me, this means that the stink is out of the laundry.

I've been on the hunt for the most ecofriendly and efficient way to do laundry for the past few years. I have made my own laundry soap and fabric softener. I've tried several different types of biodegradable laundry soaps. Before Purewash we were using ECOS laundry soap and vinegar (in the wash) and wool laundry balls (in the dryer.) Our clothes were clean and unscented (that is unless they stayed wet too long from leaving them in the washer, or them being hung up to dry and not drying fast enough). We have had the purewash for a few weeks now.Here is what Purewash has done for our laundry:-no more hot water-mostly no detergent, only a little for soiled/smelly laundry like dog beds-clothes have no smell (even if left in the washer a little too long, or hung up to dry)-clothes look just as clean as if detergent was used-using stain remover works well, washing itself doesn't get stains out, but the product manual tells you to use stain remover-no harsh chemicals next to our skin (especially important for our baby)Here is what I hoped it would do, but didn't:-soften clothes and towels (although this could be related to our hard water), I still use Woolzies Wool Dryer Ball, set of 6 ,Natural Fabric Softener for softeningOne thing I did notice the first time I used it - the water that drained out the first time smelled AWFUL! It never happened again, so I'm assuming it was purewash cleaning all the gunk from our washer. The Purewash has done well with our baby's cloth diapers too - I used to wash 2x and rinse 3x, now just one time each. However, she is just starting to eat solid foods, so we will have to see how that goes! So far she had carrots all over a cotton white bib, dried on, used stain remover and it came right out. I'm interested to see if any new clothes we buy now will still look new in 6 months. Using detergent is tough on clothes, so I'm hoping they will last longer!The only thing I'm not completely sure about it the ozone used in the product. Ozone (it's that really CLEAN smell, some air purifiers put it into the air) is not good for you to breathe in at certain levels. Since it is infused into the water though, maybe it is safer? I called the company and they assured me that the PPM was well below the required levels. I just keep the laundry room doors shut while it's running - the smell dissipates quickly.All in all I would completely recommend this product if you would like to save money on laundry soap and heating water as well as keep harmful products out of our wastewater system. We will recoup our initial investment within a year.

I purchased the PureWash system in May, 2012 and have purposely waited to write my review.First, this is obviously a company that puts a lot of innovation and attention to detail into the product. The packaging was outstanding. It includes the unit itself, instructions, a placement guide a small level and a small hammer. I had also watched a YouTube video on installation (recommended) prior to receiving this so I was ready to go once it arrived. Installation was simple and straightforward. I have a standard washer.Dirt and Grass stain test: For the initial test, I took a white cotton dishtowel and ground in outside dirt and grass (I mean *really* ground this dirt into the cloth). The intial wash of several minutes removed all of the dirt and made a significant dent in the grass stain. Next, I used some detergent on the grass stain and tossed it in the washer again. More stain came out, but not all. Grass is a tough test. I also ground in more fresh grass and pre-treated it with regular detergent. This worked better than without detergent. I do not wash kids' clothes, so I can't speak to those particular challenges or stains, but would like to hear feedback on that if anyone can add a comment.My first gas bill came in with a savings of over $30, and continues to save at least that much each month. Those savings combined with the savings from not buying laundry soap or fabric softener and I this should be paid off in savings within a year or so. I addded the purchase cost of some natural soap nuts liquid to this estimate.Everything else: I loved the results immediately. It took me some time to break the detergent/fabric softener habit. I continued to use a small amount of both for a while (until I ran out). What I discovered was interesting and unexpected. What I found is that the more I used PureWash on my clothes, the better they came out. At first, some clothes felt stiff and artificial, so I used fabric softener. Many loads later the opposite occurs: if I add fabric softener the clothes feel stiff and waxed. This might be a re-learning process of what "naked" laundry feels like, but I think it also is a process of getting residue junk out of the clothes, and that this process takes numerous washings. It took my towels the longest to start coming out feeling right. Whites are whiter, colors are brighter (no fading).Note: I still use "detergent" every once in a while - I use a small amount of a soap nuts liquid. Soap nuts are a product that come from trees and have natural saponins. Also, if it is something like my gym towels that are stale from being in a locker, I add a capful or two of bleach.The other thing I do sometimes is just put the cycle on "pre-wash" and that's it. It is like an intense rinse if something needs to sit in the PureWash-treated water. No more extra rinses, sometimes just a wash if I catch the machine at the right time to bypass the buit-in rinse cycle.One of the best parts? When I gave a friend a hug a few weeks ago she said, "Wow! What do you wash your clothes with? They smell great!"
