Staber System 2000 Frequently Asked Questions
How will I see the savings if I am getting my water from a well?
The savings you would see if you were using city water would be noticed
in a dollar amount. If you are getting your water from a well you will
be saving around 30 gallons of water per load, which can be more valuable
than the actual money being saved. By using less water, you will also
decrease the load on your septic system/drain field. If you think about
it, 30 gallons per load adds up very quickly throughout the year.
How do the clothes get cleaner if it uses less water and detergent?
The System 2000 has a unique design that allows it to clean more effectively
than circular tubs. The patented tub design creates a passive pumping
action that literally forces water through the clothing. Because of this
turbulence being created by the shape of the tubs and by using less water,
it requires much less detergent.
Who is Staber Industries?
Since 1976, Staber Industries has been re-manufacturing laundry equipment
from laundromats. Based upon this experience, we noticed design flaws
by working on several brands of washers and have patented a unique tub
design to revolutionize the industry. The Staber System 2000 is the only
top load horizontal-axis washer made in the U.S. It has been produced
near Columbus, OH, since 1994 and is distributed worldwide.
What is the tub capacity?
The tub capacity is 2 cu. ft., holding up to 16 full-size bath towels.
This is due to being a top loading tumble action design; the entire tub
space is usable. Most people will be able to wash up to 50% more laundry
per load than they can in typical agitator washers--if they are not overloading
their current machine.
What is the length of a wash cycle?
A normal wash cycle will be up to 32 minutes long plus fill time, which
will be partially dependent on water pressure. This includes a 15-minute
wash, two 5-minute deep rinses, a 5-minute spin, and a final 2-minute
fluff/index. Using pre-wash will add 5 minutes to the cycle time. Normal
wash times can be set between 1 and 15 minutes.
What are the machine dimensions?
The System 2000 is 27" wide, 26" deep and 42" high. The
vertical height of the lid is 55".
Is there a water level control?
The System 2000 has a normal and low water level setting. The low setting
fills to approximately a 4-gallon water level, while normal fills to approximately
a 5.5-gallon water level for each fill.
How many different cycles are there?
There are 3 possible wash cycles: normal, permanent press, and delicate.
The cycle controls several operating characteristics of the washer including
wash RPM speed, frequency of reversal during wash, pause time between
reversals, and final spin speeds.
How many water temperature selections are there?
The System 2000 has 3 wash temperature selections: hot, warm, and cold.
All rinses are done in cold water for energy saving benefits.
Do you have a matching dryer?
Not currently. However, any manufacturer's white dryer would complement
our washer. We recommend that the dryer have dampness sensing capability
and not rely on time only to determine end of cycle.
