Splendide Introduces 4 New RV Washer-Dryer Models for 2003 

Splendide announces the release of four new combination washer-dryer laundry center models for 2003. The 2003 laundry centers feature a wealth of new and improved features as well as a sleek, new look. 

Key Technological Advances 

• New Express Wash feature enables the RV owner to wash lightly soiled cotton and permanent press fabrics 40% faster 
• Soft-touch electronic controls are easy to operate; built-in diagnostics solve problems quickly  Increased drum capacity enables larger wash loads—27% more on the WD2100 vented model, 7% on all other models 
• Progressive, re-circulation wash motion prevents detergent from being deposited at the bottom of the drum 
• Foam-control system detects and eliminates excess foam so clothes are always thoroughly rinsed 
• Revolutionary pump design keeps foreign objects from damaging the pump, simplifies winterization, and eliminates the need to clean a filter. 

Expanded Wash & Dry Options 

In addition to these improvements, the new Splendide laundry centers offer RVers an expanded variety of wash and dry features. Owners can delay the start of the wash cycle by one, three, nine or twelve hours—so the laundry is ready when they are. For those with sensitive skin, Extra Rinse thoroughly rinses dirt and detergent from fabrics. Easy Iron ensures clothes come out with fewer wrinkles. Low Spin is extra gentle on cotton and permanent press fabrics. Splendide continues to provide the popular Automatic Balance System (ABS) and Impulse Spin Technology (IST). ABS keeps the laundry load balanced to maximize performance and minimize vibration, while IST varies the spin speed—reaching rpms as high as 1,200—to remove moisture with the least amount of wrinkling. All Splendide models are cUL-approved, CEElisted, and EnergyStar-certified. In addition, the laundry centers have received the highest marks from the European Truth Test, a test that determines a product’s maximum performance.

Drinking Water Benefits From Ultraviolet Light 

Companies in the bottled water industry have known for years that ultraviolet light is one of the best ways to destroy unwanted organisms in drinking water. Now, Watts Pure Water offers a filtration system that combines the effectiveness of ultraviolet light with two types of filters to provide RVers and boaters with the best quality drinking water. The UV-3 Filtration System first utilizes a 5-micron sediment filter to reduce dirt, sand and rust. Next, an ultraviolet light kills bacteria and other organisms. Finally, a 1-micron carbon filter reduces lead and cysts, including cryptosporidium, toxoplasma and entamoeba. The UV-3 also removes chlorine, bad tastes and odors. The system is compact enough to fit under most RV or boat sinks. It produces fresh water on demand through a dedicated faucet or by connecting directly to the cold water line. A heavy-duty mounting bracket resists high-vibration applications. Watts Pure Water recommends that users change the 1- and 5-micron filters every 6 months or 1,350 gallons. The ultraviolet bulb should be replaced once a year. Suggested retail price of the UV-3 Filtration System is $299. Contact Watts Pure Water, 815 Chestnut St., North Andover, MA 01845-6098.
