    I ordered a Sirena

    I am interested in going to a water cleaner full time. My H20 turbo is not the one however. In reading I understand that 'water soluble' dirt goes into the water. But what about pet hair? I am blessed with a ton.

    Vacumaid P-125 Central Vacuum

    Years and years ago I remember a whole house type of system that mounted between studs and the hose would unreal as needed. Is my dotage getting stronger or did it exist? I remember wanting one badly but didn't own my own place (we're talking a long time ago!)

    New Thought

    Kirby, considering the fubar mess I made when I dumped my Turbo H20 over twice I shudder to think what a fully loaded water Kirby could do!

    Power Nozzle Dyson Canisters

    Could you use the Zorb with a Kirby rug shampooer brush (dry)? Then vacuum as usual?

    Quantum Wet/Dry Vac (Rainbow copy)

    It makes sense that stuff that won't absorb into the water well such as plaster dust, baby powder, etc. would be passed through the water. I guess that's why my Tursbo H2O has a hepa. The Turdbo does do a pretty good job which is why I'd like to get a "real" water vac, but now I'm not sure.

    Quantum Wet/Dry Vac (Rainbow copy)

    Mark, I wonder if there is 'something' inside that needs to be cleaned at 180 hrs? I wonder if 'no filter to clean' means the customer is not supposed to do anything? It is a good looking machine and seems to be a good price.

    Quantum Wet/Dry Vac (Rainbow copy)

    Even better! Here's the one I have. It looks like the same box and all, but I only paid $39.00 for mine. I guess they must appreciate in value...

    Quantum Wet/Dry Vac (Rainbow copy)

    And this one shows the demonstrators getting a little too friendly with the hose. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=FehWcAdwrSA

    Quantum Wet/Dry Vac (Rainbow copy)

    And this one says that after 180 hours of use a "service" light will come on and you should take it to the dealer for "maintaince". http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0YKdW6ZE2U

    Quantum Wet/Dry Vac (Rainbow copy)

    But wait there's more! This vid actually shows the seperator and how it comes off to be cleaned. Still no mention of any filters. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=2B58IEL6_aE

    Quantum Wet/Dry Vac (Rainbow copy)

    As I remembered you can't download the 'whole' owners manual. There is mention of the seperator, how to clean, etc. It would be interesting to see if there is any mention of a 'air cleaner or exhaust purifier' (technically not a filter).

    Kenmore Progressive Canister Vacuum Question..

    Fan, my KM blueberry canister acted possessed till I changed board, which looked fine. It would always start, but not stop. It would run at slow speed, change speeds and when off it would try to start. I had never even touched a 'board' before and found the replacement very easy.

    SpacedogB, you can have it for the cost of shipping. I don't think it's worth that. If you look around you may find a new one cheap. I got this one, new in box, for $39.00 plus shipping. I think I got it from one of those 'overstock or wayfair' type places.

    Mark, you nasty thing! I wondered if anyone would go there. You are my kind of man!

    I decided to try the H2O Turbo to do some heavy hard floor cleaning today. While it did an OK job the task of cleaning the vac at the end was more than I could bear. As dear ole Dad was want to say: "Opinions are like ass holes, everyone has one". That said, the H2O is going to the thrift store...

    Historic central vacuum system

    NO! Let's talk Titanic here. I have always been interested in it.

    Interesting videos.

    Tristar CXL 2 speed wiring question?

    Telly2, that can be fun. Way back when I bought a used FQ that was doing the same thing. I brilliantly decided it needed to be lubed. Sooooo, I fired up the vac and sprayed WD40 into the discharge. It is amazing how high the flames, sparks and globs of molten metal could go.
