HOW THE SySTEM WORkS

HOW THE SySTEM WORkS

Drainvac central vacuum cleaners are designed to vacuum both solids and liquids. The tank never has to be 
emptied manually since the systems are directly connected to the building’s drainpipe through which the 
wastewater is automatically evacuated.

Step 1

Unit is off.

Step 2

Start up: The dirt begins to be 
vacuumed and water flows in.

The water comes 
into contact with 
the electrodes

The rubber 
hand opens

The rubber hand 
is closed

Step 3

Water flows in, reaching the level of 
the electrodes (approx. 10 minutes).

Step 4

The wastewater is evacuated to 
the sewer (approx. 20 seconds).

The sensitivity of the electrodes can be modified by the printed circuit board. See Annex for more information.
