DRY AND WET SYSTEM

Homeowners also benefit from the cleaning air made possible since central vacuum units are located outside of the living space and do not re-circulate allergens or dust mites. Central vacuums are also are quieter and three to five times more powerful than portable vacuums.

One very popular vacuum-cleaner design from this era is finding a resurgence in popularity today. This design, the central vacuum system, turns your whole house into a cleaner. A motorized fan in the basement or outside the house creates suction through a series of interconnected pipes in the walls. To use the cleaner, you turn on the fan motor and attach a hose to any of the various pipe outlets throughout the house. The dirt is sucked into the pipes and deposited in a large canister, which you empty only a few times a year.
