Rotaire Dryline...
No matter how careful one is when hanging out the laundry, a
sudden
shower can mean that the washing has to be taken in wetter than it went
onto the line. The option is to dry it inside. This causes damp
atmospheres and rooms full of wet washing needed for the next day: A
NIGHTMARE!
The alternative is to use a tumble dryer. This will obviously
waste
valuable electricity heating the outside atmosphere and unnecessarily
contribute to the global climate change we should all be addressing: ANOTHER
NIGHTMARE!!
Climate change is happening; just look at the British floods
of
summer 2007, not to mention floods in Bangladesh, China, fires across
Greece, vanishing ice caps and rising seas. Any doubts about the
severity of the problems associated with our profligate use of energy
can easily be changed by watching or reading An Inconvenient Truth by
Al Gore, who ought to be President of the USA.
OUR CONTRIBUTION:
a solution to energy free drying
The first Rotaire samples were tested by over 100 volunteers
early
in 2007. Improvements have been made as a result and new versions will
be on sale in October. Although it has taken over two years of
painstaking development and six sets of prototypes to get to the
current design, no risks are being taken with the product. It has to be
right because WOMEN KNOW BEST about washing!
We all know that natural drying is best. The Rotaire Dryline
is
designed to fit existing rotary airers to provide a weather and bird
proof cover which allows air to circulate freely through the washing. A
weighted mesh skirt surrounds the durable polyethylene cover, carrying
sideways rain clear of the washing. In summer, the Dryline actually
accelerates the drying time so that 2 or even 3 loads can be dried
outside in a day!
A storage cover is now available so that you can simply fold
down
the dryer and Dryline together and cover them for storage.
It has also been researched that the cost of tumble drying
for a
family of four is £80-£100 per year. This means
that the
Rotaire Dryline will pay for itself within the first 6 months!
What is your airer like?
Rotary airers (dryers, washing lines,whirligigs, clothes lines - call
them what you will) come in many forms. It may be square (4 arm) or
triangular (3-arm). It may or may not have a removeable top cap on the
central post. Most have a removeable cap. The "Classic" version fits
airers with a removeable top cap on the central post. It is available
to fit square (e.g. S1800) and triangular (e.g. T1800) airer types.
The "Adagio" version fits airers without a removeable top cap. This
version drains towards the centre and is currently available only for
square airers (e.g. B1800). Triangular "Adagio" covers are available as
special order only.
SIZE MATTERS
Rotary Dryers come in different sizes so it is important that
we
supply the right size. Measure from the tip of one arm to the tip of
the adjacent arm all round the airer. The lengths will probably vary -
it's amazing we don't notice! If the length varies, take the average
length and use it to work out the cover you need.
