A number of very important modifications have been introduced to the ACOUSTIC COMFORT range: 7 sound absorbing panels on the sides of the machine, a sheet of corrugated material on the bottom, complete soundproofing of the motor, tub made of sound absorbing material (Silitech). ACOUSTIC COMFORT models are better than other similar, non-soundproofed machines, by about 25% on noise level. A technical analysis of the European market reveals that the new Candy ACOUSTIC COMFORT models reach the highest levels of noise suppression. Reduced consumption Wash efficiency has increased thanks to a special system which recycles the water continuously through the special jet sited on the inside edge of the door. It "sprays" water directly on to the fabrics in the drum during certain phases of the wash cycle, ensuring that they are well soaked. Both the wash and rinse cycles of machines equipped with the Candy Activa system have a notably higher performance than the best models on the market at the moment. The reduction in water, energy and detergent consumption means that Activa appliances make savings and reduce the harmful effects on the environment with every single wash. With this device the appliance can measure the amount of water required for washing and rinsing according to the wash load. this permits a reduction in the amount of water used. Thus the amount of electricity needed to heat it can be reduced to the absolute minimum without any detrimental effects to washing and rinsing.
