This blog post is a collection of answers (an FAQ) that I’ve written on whirlpool in response to questions asked about it there.

I’m placing some of those answers here because they can easily be lost in the succession of pages there, and some of them seem to be asked repeatedly.

Hence putting them here is an exercise in trying to make them easier to find – and reducing that repetition somewhat!

I’ll add to this post as necessary if future questions of importance turn up that make sense to add into this blog post.
