What is a central cleaning system?
In general, a central vacuum has super power, about 2-5 times that
of a portable. They are almost inaudible in the living area. They are long lived, a BEAM
central vacuum has a life time limited warranty. Light weight, as only the hose is pulled
around. The price is competitive with many and less than some portables that don't have
the features of a central vacuum cleaner.
In a more detailed description.
A heavy duty, central vacuum generator is located away
from the living area as in the garage, basement or utility room. Large diameter smooth
walled tubing, for low loss of air flow, is run to several handy wall or occasionally
floor inlets strategically placed throughout the home. The power unit will automatically
turn on when the hose end is inserted into the inlet valve, or by a convenient on off
switch located on the hose handle on many of our models .A light weight 30' hose (25'
& 35' are also available) allows easy vacuuming of the entire floor area.
With the vacuum motor located remotely, size is not the
problem it is in a portable vacuum. A large, powerful motor designed for long life is now
possible. Noise, can be minimized with mufflers and sound-proofing. A portable would be
too large to carry or pull around if it had the same heavy duty features and
specifications.
Our remote dust collection system is superior to any
other. All dirt is removed from the living area. Allergy sufferers in particular will
appreciate that. In addition our two layer filter removes 98.9% of dust down to 2 microns
and the filter is self cleaning, all debris is deposited into a 4,7 or E gallon container
for easy removal.
Portables can have some similar features but can not
include all of them and not be as well done or as convenient to use. If you need
additional information or other models or accessories call or write.
