The Cycle Modifiers have a "faucet" selection to run water. Can I change the water to be used to a certain temperature setting or will it always use a set water temp? If set, is it Hot or Cold water inlet selected?

What are the recommendations for the amount of clothing, towels, sheets, etc. that can be safely put in the machine?

Washer drains upward to sewer connection approximately 6 feet. The installer looped (in a circle) the drain hose just behind the washer discharge and placed the hose in an extension hose that feeds into the outside sewer connection. That top section of hose does have a "question mark" type hook end (like a small case f) that is inserted to the outside drain. I am being told by the store that a "loop" near the bottom discharge connection is needed as an air pocket similar to what is found on a kitchen sink drain. Is that the proper installation, or can I just do a straight connection into the second part of the discharge line? Installers have been out twice as the hose once popped off, and several weeks later the bottom hose wore through where it was looped. I'm trying to avoid flooding the laundry room for the third time. :)
