A cold-standby redundant sytem with two identical units and one repair facility is considered. Units can be in three states: good $(I)$, degraded $(II)$, and failed $(III)$. It is supposed that only the following state-transitions of a unit are possible: $I\rightarrow II$, $II\rightarrow III$, $II\rightarrow I$, $III\rightarrow I$. The paper deals with the comparison of some initial situations of the system and with a stochastical improvement of units (stochastical increase of time of work in state $I$ and/or stochastical decrease of times of repairs of the types $II\rightarrow I$ and/or $III\rightarrow I$) and shows on examples that some surprising non-monotonicities can take place.
