FAQ's
  1. Wet and Dry Central Vacuum Systems:

    • Clogging is not a concern with wet and dry central vacuum systems. These systems handle water during spillage or cleanup processes without risking pipe blockages.
    • The minimal dust content in water ensures smooth operation.
    • Maintenance is straightforward: You can clean the pipe system by vacuuming water from a bucket through the hose. In fact, wet and dry units are the only ones designed for this purpose.

  2. What Is a Central Vacuum?:

    • A central vacuum system comprises a power unit installed in a garage or storeroom. It connects to a 50.8mm PVC pipe network running throughout the house, terminating at wall inlets.
    • These discreet wall inlets, similar in size to standard light switches, allow you to insert a lightweight, flexible hose for efficient cleaning of all surfaces in your home.

  4. The Drainvac Automatic Self-Flushing System:

    • The Drainvac Automatic is an environmental marvel. It directly connects to water pipes and sewer drainage in homes or businesses.
    • How it works:
      • When the vacuum is turned on, water sprays at the dust entry point. Dust settles to the tank’s bottom.
      • A sealed valve keeps the tank closed during vacuum operation.
      • After 15 minutes, the vacuum stops, and the tank self-drains into the sewer for 10 seconds.
      • The cycle repeats as long as the vacuum runs.
      • When turned off, the water drains completely, leaving the tank clean.

  5. Practical Uses of the Drainvac Automatic:

    • Beyond regular household cleaning, the Drainvac Automatic shines in various scenarios:
      • Spa Emptying
      • Clearing Blocked Sinks, Baths, or Toilets
      • Carpet and Couch Washing
      • Car Seat Cleaning
      • Windowsill Washing
      • Garage Floor Cleaning
      • Handling Spilled Liquids

  6. Maintenance Tips for the Automatic System:

    • Since water only travels through the hose and pipes when picking up liquid, occasional cleaning is necessary.
    • To clean the hose, vacuum clean water from a sink and then let the vacuum run for 10 minutes to dry it out.

  7. Central Vacuum Longevity:

    • Central vacuums are built to last. Many come with lifetime warranties, requiring minimal maintenance.

  8. Benefits of Central Vacuums:

    • Improved Air Quality: Central vacuums remove dust and allergens more effectively, enhancing indoor air quality.
    • Reduced Noise: The power unit is typically located away from living spaces, minimizing noise during cleaning.
    • Effortless Cleaning: No heavy vacuum to carry—just connect the hose to the wall inlet.
    • Superior Cleaning Power: Central vacuums provide thorough cleaning for all floor types.
