How the Hide-A-Hose System Work? Where does the hose go?

A Detailed Guide to the Hide-A-Hose Retractable Central Vacuum System

Welcome to the innovative world of the Hide-A-Hose Retractable Central Vacuum System, where convenience meets efficiency. At Think Vacuums, with over 35 years of experience, we're excited to introduce you to this revolutionary solution for effortless cleaning. Let's explore how this system works, its installation process, and the myriad benefits it offers.

How the Hide-A-Hose System Works

The Hide-A-Hose system is powered by a central vacuum motor unit typically installed in a garage or utility area. This ingenious setup allows the vacuum hose to retract into a network of PVC piping discreetly hidden within your home's walls, attic, or floor joists. This design eliminates the need for manual hose storage, keeping your living spaces tidy and clutter-free.

Installation Process

For existing homes, the Hide-A-Hose system can be retrofitted, provided there's access to an attic or crawl space. Our experts at Think Vacuums can assess your home to determine the best installation options. The system utilizes special sweep 45s and 90s in the PVC tubing to facilitate smooth hose retraction and storage. Once installed, it connects seamlessly to your current vacuum setup, enhancing its functionality.

Hose Types and Models

The system accommodates hoses ranging from 30 to 60 feet, reducing the number of inlets needed. This feature not only saves time but also adds convenience. Two popular hose models are available:

• Soc Hose Cover: Comes with a protective sock to prevent dirt accumulation.
• Flex Hose: Designed without a sock, making it lightweight and easy to use.

Both models are highly rated by customers for their durability and ease of maintenance. The hoses are washable, with no internal wiring, allowing you to easily clean and dry them before retraction.

Operating the System

Each inlet is equipped with a low-voltage switch, enabling you to turn the system on or off effortlessly. The RF Ready Grip handle provides a wireless option, allowing you to control the system remotely. This user-friendly design means no cumbersome wires are needed, making the hose lighter and easier to maneuver.

For vacuuming, the system supports both air-driven and electric power brushes. The CX1000 Cordless Powerhead kit is recommended for optimal performance on various carpet types.

Benefits of the Hide-A-Hose System

• Space-Saving: The retractable design means no need for additional storage space.
• Time-Efficient: Quick access to the hose allows for spontaneous cleaning sessions.
• User-Friendly: With the hose neatly tucked away, cleaning becomes less of a chore and more of a breeze.
• Convenient: Simply pull out the desired length and start cleaning. Once done, release the hose lock to retract it back.

Maintenance Tips

Regular maintenance ensures longevity and optimal performance:

• Wash and dry hoses periodically to maintain cleanliness.
• Inspect inlets and PVC piping for obstructions to keep airflow efficient.
• Use the right attachments for different cleaning tasks to prolong the life of your vacuum components.
