Central Vacuum Frequently Asked Questions - Answers And Information

Q: What is a central vacuum?

A: Most built-in systems consist of a power unit, centrally located, which contains the vacuum producing motor and dirt collector. From the vacuum unit, tubing is simply routed through walls by way of the attic or under floors to conveniently located wall inlets. To vacuum, a lightweight, flexible hose is inserted into the wall inlets. All surfaces in the home can be cleaned efficiently using the versatile cleaning tools.

Q: What is this Automatic self-flushing central vacuum cleaner?

A: Better known as the Drainvac Automatic, this revolutionary machine—considered to be the best on the market environmentally—connects directly to the water pipes and sewer drainage of a house or business. The principle is simple: water, suction, and a drain. With the automatic-drain vacuum, there are no more bags to change and no more filters to clean—it empties itself.

Q: How does the Drainvac Automatic system work?

A: As soon as the vacuum is turned on, water sprays at the opening where dust enters the appliance. The dust becomes heavier and settles to the bottom of the tank. The tank is sealed by a valve that remains closed when the vacuum is in operation. After 15 minutes, the vacuum stops automatically. As soon as the vacuum stops, the tank empties itself for 10 seconds into the sewer drain of the house or business. Then the vacuum automatically starts again. This cycle repeats itself for as long as the vacuum is in operation. When the vacuum is turned off, the water drains. Water never accumulates in the tank so it remains clean.

Q: Why buy a Drainvac vacuum cleaner in the Automatic series?

• Empty a spa.
• Empty a blocked sink, bath, or toilet.
• Wash the household carpets and couches.
• Wash the carpets and seats in the car.
• Wash the windowsills.
• Wash the cement floor in the garage.
• Pick up all spilled liquids.
• And much more...

Q: How do I maintain and clean the Automatic?

A: The only time water travels through the vacuum’s hose and pipes is when picking up liquid. This might leave the hose and pipes dirty. To clean them, simply vacuum some clean water from a sink. Then, leave the vacuum on to suck in air for 10 minutes. This will dry out the hose.
