28 Years Of Rock Solid Technology!
Introducing the Hose Magic / Hose Genie Management System, the first
central vacuum system to eliminate the number one
complaint of central vacuum system owners - where to
store the hose once the cleaning process is complete.
Whether owners store it in the laundry room, garage, or
basement, the hose is always an unsightly eyesore that
takes up extra space.
With the Hose Magic / Hose Genie, all your wishes could come
true...the disappearing hose system.
Hose
Magic / Hose Genie is the first patented, push-button hose management
system on the market today. Like magic, the hose
dispenses and disappears inside the wall. Floor tools and an
electric brush can be added to the system and are priced
separately. Each Hose Magic / Hose Genie station contains a separate
hose that reaches up to 2,000 sq. ft. Several can be
positioned throughout the home depending on size and floor
plan. Example: a 3800 sq. ft. two story home may require
2 stations down and 1 station up. It features button
controls on a swivel handle for all functions on a 45 foot
hose with an inside hose diameter of 1.44 inches for
maximum air flow.
The Hose Magic /
Hose Genie
has a reset button in the event the floor brush becomes
clogged and the unit stops, and a fuse if the retractor
ceases working. These are easily accessible on the top of
the circuit board cover behind the retractor unit. The
unit is designed normally for new construction, remodeling
or updating your present central vac system for easy Hose
Management.

Famous Hose Magic / Hose Genie
System
Consumers Choice Award Winner!
What type
of carpet nozzles and/or floor tools can be used with this
hose? Any
carpet nozzle or floor tool can be used with the Hose
Magic / Hose Genie including electric carpet nozzles, unlike
other retractable systems that require air driven tools.
We strongly recommend avoiding the use of air driven
nozzles such as the Turbocat Zoom, Turbocat Ex, Miele
Turbo Nozzle etc. Air driven nozzles will perform poorly
due to the hose length and the amount of air travel. Air
driven nozzles depends solely on the strength of the
vacuum unit. All bare floor tools will work fine with the
Hose Magic / Hose Genie.
Does The Hose Retract Electronically or With Suction?
The Hose
Magic / Hose
Genie has a fully electric "push-button"
retractable hose which assures a constant smooth in & out
motion. Hose management systems that use suction tend to
get stuck in the wall often during retraction and can slow
down with the age of your vacuum. Also, many other
retractable systems use hose sock covers which may get
dirty and prevent a smooth retraction when using a suction
geared system. Other retractable systems that use suction
for retraction are very problematic, due to a poor design
that uses the vacuum unit to retract. When the hose is
retracting it causes turbulence in the piping, which
lessens the strength of the vacuum, which may cause the
hose to become stuck. This can be a very frustrating
process.
What Are The Chances of The Hose Genie Clogging?
Any central vacuum hose is capable of clogging, however
the Hose
Magic / Hose
Genie is virtually impossible to clog due to it's
1.44 inch interior diameter. In the event that the hose
clogs, the 1.44 inch interior diameter makes it very easy
to "snake" out.
The unit consists of:
The Retractor
Cabinet
The
Retractor Cabinet is 30" long x 12" high x 3.5" deep with
a 14.5" x 10.5" opening for the hose handle, and is
designed to be installed between the studs on 32" centers
at approximately 48" above the floor.
Hose Storage
Cavity Liner The hose cavity liner is
thin plastic sheet material that lines the cavity where
the hose is stored. The cavity liner provides a clean
storage container and protection for the hose.
Hose Magic / Hose Genie Installation Video
The Hose Magic / Hose Genie is universal and works
with
every central vacuum brand and model.
The Retractor The
Retractor is designed to easily snap apart so the hose can
be placed into contact with the drive mechanism. Once the
hose is in place, the Retractor snaps back together so it
can be positioned properly in the Retractor Cabinet.
A 120VAC "power-in"
operates the retractor, a 120VAC "power-out" operates the
electric floor brush and a "low-voltage" control for the
vacuum system source are all located for easy plug-in to
the retractor.
The Hose The 45' vacuum hose
includes a fitting (provided) for connecting to the vacuum
source line. This fitting is glued directly to the 2"
P.V.C. vacuum line entering the Hose Retractor Cabinet
from the existing central vacuum. Once the
hose end is snapped into place on the fitting, the hose is
loaded into the lined storage area (cavity liner) and then
installed into the Retractor.With hose installed, the
Retractor is inserted in the front opening of the
Retractor Cabinet, all plug-ins made and slid to the right
and snapped in place. After drywall
installation and painting are complete, the front cover
door may be installed with the door opening to the right.
A rubber snout cover is to be used on the handle snout
where multiple Hose Magic / Hose Genie are connected to the same
vacuum source so there will be a vacuum at the next
station.
