Selection Guide

Selecting the Right Central Vacuum System Can Be Mind-Boggling.
Here's how to be sure the system you choose for your home will provide the performance and cleaning power you expect. The following facts will help you make the best buying decision.

Vacuum Performance Buzzwords
Below are the measurements manufacturers use to assess their vacuum system's performance. But, what does it all mean?

Amps: represent the amount of electrical current consumed by the motor during use. The implication is that the more electricity the motor uses, the more powerful it is. This is not necessarily true. A motor that uses more electrical current does not always mean the current is being used more efficiently.

Horsepower: measures the power of a motor. Horsepower can vary according to voltages, motor loads and temperature variances, and is not an accurate measure of how well a vacuum system will pick up dirt.

Sealed Suction: measures the maximum suction generated by the motor without airflow. Because vacuum cleaners rely on airflow to clean effectively, high sealed suction without airflow will not clean anything.

CFM: is the maximum volume of airflow measured in Cubic Feet Per Minute. Maximum CFM ratings occur when the vacuum system is operating without restrictions to airflow. In normal vacuuming conditions, hoses, cleaning attachments, bags, filters and accumulated dust create restrictions to airflow, reducing CFM. Therefore, CFM alone is not a good indicator of vacuum cleaning performance.

Measurements To Look For
Maximum Air Watts: represent the air power delivered by the power unit. CFM and Sealed Suction are combined to represent actual vacuum cleaning power. Maximum Air Watts is recognized by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) as the best way to measure the actual cleaning power of a vacuum system.

Sustained Cleaning Power: is the ability to maintain Maximum Cleaning Power over time. The very first time you vacuum with a system that has a bag or filter, there will be a measurable decrease in suction power and airflow as dirt and dust begin to accumulate.

VACUFLO® True Cyclonic® Power Units provide Sustained Cleaning Power by separating the dirt from the airflow without bags and filters. In fact, 96-98% of all dirt swept into the system is deposited into the clear dirt canister. The remaining fine dust particles are exhausted outside. The powerful performance of the VACUFLO System does not decrease as dirt accumulates in the dirt canister.

Sustained Cleaning Performance

Dirt Vacuumed
Average household vacuums up to 16 oz. per week.
(453.6 grams=16 oz.)

The powerful performance of the VACUFLO system does not
decrease as dirt accumulates in the dirt canister.

Your Selection Begins with the Power Unit
Power units vary in size, motors and separation techniques. However, the most important difference between power units is their filtration method. The filtration method directly affects the cleaning performance of the central vacuum system.

VACUFLO True Cyclonic Maximum Air Watts Sustained Cleaning

Filter Bag Power Unit A paper bag collects some of the dust and dirt. The Facts
•	Cleaning performance diminishes rapidly as bag fills.

•	Must buy replacement bags and secondary filters.

•	Units not vented outside recirculate dust, germs, and odors back into the home.

Inverted Bag Power Unit Self-cleaning cloth filter bag collects the dirt and dust then dumps it into the canister. The Facts
•	Cleaning performance diminishes rapidly as the bag becomes clogged with dirt

•	"Self-cleaning" bag needs to be cleaned and replaced.

•	Units not vented outside recirculate dust, germs and odors back into the home.
VACUFLO delivers the cleaning power you expect – time after time.
