Frequently Asked Questions |
What is a Ducted Vacuum System?
A Ducted Vacuum System is the modern way to clean your
home or business. The system consists of PVC piping
installed in the walls connecting back to a Vacuum machine
located outside your living area, usually in the garage.
The Vacuum machine then collects all of the dust in
either a bag or a bucket for easy disposal.
When a 9 metre hose is plugged into the inlet valves,
which are strategically installed around your house,
the machine starts and all dust is sucked through the
hose and PVC pipe and deposited into the Vacuum Machine.
Why install Ducted Vacuum?
Today's domestic vacuums rely on very fine filtering
to remove the dust, however these filters cannot remove
all of the dust as the particles can be very small.
The Ducted system takes everything outside the living
area including dust mites, pollen and other allergens.
It is essential for an asthmatic.
Because the size of a domestic machine is restricted,
its dust collecting canister will need to be emptied
many more times than the huge 40 litre bag or bucket
which is provided with the Ducted system. The Ducted
system generally creates a healthier environment and
is easier to use.
Healthier, More Powerful and Convenient Cleaning
The Cyclic ducted vacuum machine is three to five times
more powerful than a portable machine and whilst the
horse power rating may be similar it is not horsepower
which cleans your house. Horesepower or watts is the
measurement used by vacuum manufacturers to indicate
the power of the motor installed in the machine and
tells you nothing about its cleaning efficiency.
Cleaning ability is measured in terms of airflow quantified
by litres of air per second, it is not measured by horsepower,
watts or waterlift. It is airflow that removes deep
down dirt, dust mites, pollen and spores from your living
areas.
A Cyclic vacuum does not need a High Efficiency Particle
Arresters (HEPA) used in some portable machines because
all of the household dust is removed from your living
area and deposited in an outside cantainer. A HEPA filter
will arrest or stop particles as small as .3 microns
but they are costly, cannot be cleaned and clog quickly.
They are not intended for use in small portable vacuums.
Cyclic uses one or two bypass motors that have a seperate
cooling and exhaust systems unlike some vacuums that
use flow through motors where the motor is cooled by
air laden with dust which has flowed through you vacuum
system.
Finally, the addition of fans to the motor, often referred
to as stages, will change the dynamics of the vacuum
machine and will increase waterlift but at the same
time it will decrease airflow and it is airflow that
removes your dust. You are welcome to call at our Seven
Hills showroom and see a demonstration of the advantages
of airflow over waterlift.
Quiet!
Because the Ducted Vacuum motor is located outside your
living and sleeping areas you can even vacuum whilst
the children are asleep.
Easy Installation
A Ducted Vacuum System can easily be installed into
any existing home it does not need to be installed when
the home is being built.
Costs
A Cyclic Ducted Vacuum System adds value to your home.
It can be fully installed from $1100 or pre-piped into
a new home from $300. Cyclic Ducted Vacuums are designed
to last for over 10 years so at this price it will save
you money on domestic cleaners.
