Answers to hide a hose frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Where does the hose go?

hide a hose incCan you retrofit the existing central vacuum system?

Yes, but most of the plumbing utilized by your existing system will have to be changed. The reason is, conventional central vacuum systems are plumbed with regular 90s and fittings that stop the hose from traveling via the tubing. Because the Hide-A-Hose Retractable Hose System stores the hose in the PVC tubes, special sweep 90s and 45s are needed, which allow the hose to travel thru’ the tubing.

Can a hide a Hose Sock be used?

The hose sock's main advantage is to stop furniture and woodwork from getting scratched by the hose. Each Hide-a-Hose hose length comes either with a sock or, in the more advanced Rapid Flex version, without a sock.

Will the hide the Hose Sock get dirty from being stored in the tubing?

With the Hide-A-Hose system, the hose sock remains cleaner than a hose sock with a regular central vac system. Hose socks collect dirt and dust from floors while vacuuming. 

Every time the power unit is switched on and the hose is in the wall, the power unit's suction is repeatedly cleaning the house. That doesn't occur when the hose is sitting in a closet.

Will the Air Driven Power Brush on your vac clean as well as an Electric Powerhead?

If the Turbocat Air Driven Power Brush is linked with the proper Power Unit, tests show that its performance is almost to an Electric Power Head, for no to low-pile carpet and area rugs. The Turbocat has more longevity, higher brush speed than most electric powerheads. 

It has an automatic height adjustment feature, and can clean closer to edges. Moreover, the Turbocat has a built-in Performance Indicator. If the airflow is limited within the tubing or power unit, the Turbocat will delay, indicating that the system is not performing at peak performance and should be examined
