How do Central Vacuums Works?
Installation
Central vacuum systems work by using a network of pipes installed throughout a home to transport dirt, dust, and debris to a central collection unit. The piping is usually installed within walls, attics, or crawl spaces, and can be connected to a variety of inlets throughout the home. Central vacuum piping is built into the walls of your home at the construction stage. About the same time as your electrician and plumber do their prewire.
Wall Inlets
These inlets, which are typically located in the walls, allow homeowners to connect a lightweight hose to the system to clean their homes. This automatically turns on the vacuum machine. Ready to clean straight away.
Removing Dust
When the vacuum is turned on, the motor in the central collection unit creates suction, which pulls dirt and debris through the pipework and into the collection unit. The collected debris is then deposited into a bag or bin that can be emptied periodically. This system eliminates the need to lug around a heavy vacuum cleaner and provides unparalleled cleaning power, making it an ideal solution for modern homes.
Final Fit Off
At the final fit off VacuumOne attaches the wall inlets, vacpan and power unit (vacuum machine) in the garage.
To operate, you simply plug a hose into a wall outlet and vacuum away! The dirt and debris are then sucked through the internal pipework and into a power unit.
