Dr4Film Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Great job, Bob! I love seeing upgrades that really make sense. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jim Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 nice work. I'm curious though... you use hot water in your toilet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Jones Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 Sure do. It's now a self-cleaning toilet. 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Plus, it would make for a nice warm toasty seat on those cold mornings! And the hot water would cause the bacteria in the black tank to multiply 1000-fold liquifying the waste quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Jones Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 You nailed it. It's really quite surprising what some of the benefits are. I actually put a Green Goblin down the bowl after every black tank flush. Just being able to say that makes me smile 🤣 They are cheap and when I flush the black tank the toilet paper is, for all intents and purposes, dissolved. And I use regular Costco TP. The park I'm in has something like 200 or 250 units in it and it's on septic!! I smile every time I flush a Green Goblin knowing I'm doing my part !! 💩 31 minutes ago, Dr4Film said: Great job, Bob! I love seeing upgrades that really make sense. Thanks for sharing. It was a bit of a long-winded post but I felt the washer was worth it. Both the old one and the new one. If someone is looking for one it could help them consider a lot of the things and even cause them to just repair their Splendide if they have one still.

Dr4Film Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I thought I would be replacing the Splendide belt or the entire unit this past winter because the drum stopped turning last fall when we were in New Hampshire Workamping at Totem Pole Park. Once I removed the unit form its cubby hole, the belt was fine however I found a loose wire that had fallen off the control board. Problem solved. While I had it out, I replaced the vent hose with a new section as the old one was coated with lint plus I cleaned the lint filter too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Jones Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 I sure loved my Splendide. What a little workhorse. I take it yours is vented model? I am really surprised how serviceable mine was. Both the new one and the old one are excellent machines but the new one is much bigger and much more configurable. Full control over everything. But they are 22 years apart. The computer control of the new machine is a big bonus. Ah well, fun, fun, fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr4Film Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Yes, Bob, it is vented to the outside. I thought that was the norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck B 2004 Windsor Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Back in 2004 when we installed a W/D I passed up on the Splendide because it took 120vac and converted it to 12 VDC to run everything. I felt that that conversion added more things to go wrong. The brand we purchased, everything ran on 120 vac. We full timed for 6 years. We never had any problems with ours. I do not remember the brand name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Jones Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) BTW, here's a video of it in action. It's hard to show the giant steam cloud that comes out, though. It's much bigger than you can see. Edited February 4, 2022 by Bob Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulsarjab Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I am trying to figure out what you did to the hot water heater. Would you share the plumbing changes that were made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6Wheels Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Bob, What type of piping delivers the hot water to the toilet? There have been issues with the Upinor PEX-A (expansion) with recirculation systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
