PurVac is a global brand name made by Drainvac International, a Canadian based company today. They have been manufacturing and marketing central vacuum systems that are renowned for their performance and durability. Today, PurVac central vacuum systems are highly sought after in the market and the credit goes to the 25 years of research and development that the company has invested in. The story of PurVac started with the carpet cleaning service offered by Conrad Sevigny. Sevigny's first prototype was a carpet-cleaning water extractor, which was built using the patented automatic drain technology in 1982. This was also the same year the Sevigny found PurVac in St. Hyacinthe, Canada. Today, it is one of the leading brands in the world for central vacuums and has a distribution network in 20 countries worldwide.
High Suction Power: PurVac central vacuums promises superior suction by offering water lifts of up to 170”. This suction power can even unclog a sink.
Easy to Use/Install: PurVac vacuum systems are easy to install and use. They can be installed in existing homes as well as new homes with ease. The central vacuums are available with a 6-foot / 1.8-meter electric cord and a 90-degree plug to make it easier to use.
Activac 2™ filter muffler: One of the most important aspects of PurVac central vacuum systems is the Activac 2 HEPA exhaust filter and muffler. Its primary use is for eliminating odors. Activac 2 also helps in collecting and removing fine dust particles, which might have escaped through the filter.
HEPA Filtration System: All PurVac central vacuum systems are enabled with a HEPA filtration system. The notable points of HEPA filtration system include:
Zero Noise Level: PurVac central vacuum systems can be installed in your garage or at any secluded location within your home to reduce noise levels. The composite tank casing used by PurVac cuts down the noise level considerably especially when compared to the metal tank casings. The lowest sound decibel offered by their central vacuums is 58 decibels.
Reliable: All PurVac central vacuum systems are extremely reliable. Backed by technology and including HEPA filtration systems and single and double motorization, they are extremely durable.
Warranty: PurVac offers an impressive warranty period on their vacuum cleaners. Vacuum cleaners in the standard series are available with a 5-year limited warranty on the motor while vacuums in the Extra and Deluxe series are available with a 10-year warranty. The warranty is applicable only on residential use. They also offer a lifetime warranty on the casing of all vacuum cleaners.

Learn How To Select The Right Central Vacuum For You
Rating - 4.5 stars (would be 5 except for suction noise)
Service by ThinkVacuums - Very good, before and after the sale
Suction of Killer Whale unit - extremely strong.
Noise - reasonable in garage or at power head on carpet, but VERY loud on hardwood floors and when dusting
Installation - easy, took an hour at most to replace the old central unit we had
Our home is about 4,000 square feet in size. Our 20-year-old central vac burned out, so we bought the PurVac Killer Whale because we had an available 220v outlet right near the 110v that the old unit had been plugged into, and we wanted maximum suction power. If we had it to do over again, we probably would buy the Great White instead because (and you might find this hard to believe) the Killer Whale is TOO good. Its suction power is terrific. But for that reason, it may take some getting used to if you are replacing a burned out old unit, as we were. For instance vacuuming thin metal blinds will bend the blinds, and the circumference of suction is larger, capturing small items much further from the nozzle than you may be accustomed to, such as when counters or dresser tops are dusted. Also, keeping the dusting attachment from sucking down tight against a smooth surface is difficult. The suction is a force to be reckoned with.
The Killer Whale noise output at the main unit (in the garage) was actually quieter than the old unit although its suction was at least twice as good. The lower noise output at the central unit is probably due to the three mufflers that come with the unit, two on the air intakes and one large can-type on the exhaust. But the noise in the room where hardwood floors are swept or when dusting is extreme. Again, this is purely because of the massive suction the unit generates. Using a sweeper head that allows for greater air passage decreases the noise somewhat, but my wife still uses earplugs when she sweeps the hardwood floors. She has no problem at all with the noise output when sweeping carpeted rooms because it is greatly reduced by the carpet and pad being swept.
As for sales and service support, we were pleased. The staff were very polite and helpful, and not at all pushy prior to the sale. (Shawn and Iris are two names I remember and both were very friendly.) There was a very small omission mistake in the included parts, but when I phoned, they mailed the piece immediately to rectify the oversight. Also, when we considered returning the unit to replace it with a weaker one (like the Great White), the owner advised we try buying new sweeping a dusting heads, as well as a $17.00 safety valve to decrease suction when the blinds get sucked in. He advised this to help us avoid paying shipping both ways plus a 10% restocking fee, all of which could cost us as much as $150. But further testing revealed that the valve would only kick in and work AFTER the blinds got sucked to the dusting head, and the damage would be done anyway. Also, the valve would not decrease the noise loudness on hardwoods. We decided to get used to the noise and mollify ourselves with the realization that the cleanliness of our carpets would be improved because of the better suction. Bottom line, don't overbuy. The Great White 110v unit will probably suffice for most large homes.
